Morris, John: "Munatius Plancus Paulinus", in Bonner Jahrbücher Band 165 (1965), p.88–96 on M729 cos 13 AD in the 4th century inscription CIL-VI-1743 giving the cognomen Paulinus,
which might indicate his mother could be an Aemilia Paulla, sister to M. Aemilius Lepidus cos 6 AD and L. Aemilius Paullus cos 1 AD.
He speculates on an other connection to the Aemilii, Cornelia Cethegilla Aemilia Plancina  C1485, FOS281. His detailed stemma (attached to his article) shows a descent through a possible daughter
of cos 13 married to a M. Aemilius Lepidus, whose possible daughter (Aemilia Planciana) could have married a Cornelius Cethegus, and they could be the parents of Cornelia Cethegilla Aemilia 
Plancina. Morris also attempts speculatively to link to a 4th century Caeionia Marina, married to Crepereius Amantius (? cos ord 345), who claims descent from a Munatius Plancus Paulinus.

Settipani: Continuite (2000) p.87-88 suggests that the mother of cos 13 AD was an Aemilia Paulla (dt of Paullus Aemilius Lepidus, censor colleague of the cos 42 BC), since cos 13 AD 
had the cognomen Paulinus.  He also suggests a Munatia Plancina, sister of cos 13, married to Ser. Cornelius Lentulus Cethegus cos 24. 
The rather slim evidence is that the grd dt of cos 24 had Plancina as 4th name (Cornelia Cethegilla Aemilia Plancina C1485, FOS281).
