So far I have not seen any, but the sames spammer that crashed maiser has been at work on Rootsweb. If you should receive any junk email on the lists, please do not respond to the list. There is plenty being done behind the scenes and everyone is aware of the problem. As a precaution I have asked rootsweb to not allow mail to the lists I manage unless the person is subscribed.

ATWELL, CT>DutchessCo>BroomeCo,NY Seeking information on parents and ancestry of Paul Atwell, b. 16 Jun 1765, Amenia, Dutchess Co., NY; m. Abigail Mayo; moved in mid- to late-1790s to Broome Co., NY; d. there 3 Dec 1852. Broome Co. history says family from CT. Early Amenia records show a marriage of a Paul Atwell to a Ruth Lamb, 14 Mar 1764. Were these Paul's parents? I have info to share on Paul's descendants. Any help or information on this or any Atwell families in Colonial CT will be greatly appreciated. Darcie Randall Ridolfi (DJRR@aol.com)

I'm sending the first page or so of a 25 page document I've prepared on the descendants of Patrick Power of the Township of Cornwallis, Kings County, Nova Scotia. I believe most of the Protestant Power(s) of Kings County, Nova Scotia are descended from Patrick. Hopefully someone on this list can tie his son Atwell into one of their Atwell lines in the U.S. Pleaase excuse the long post and substitute a pound sterling L for the funny little o's you see in front of any numbers. GENERATION I 1. Patrick Poore first appears in the records of the Township of Cornwallis, Kings County, Nova Scotia, in September 1791 when he was taxed 5 shillings as a capitation tax. This amount was corrected to 1 shilling in June 1792 because he did not own 6 cattle. He was listed as one of about 170 third class citizens. He died sometime between 30 July 1811 when he made out his will and 13 November 1811 when an inventory of his possessions was made. Presumably he is buried in Kings County, but the author has not been able to locate his gravestone or any reference to his death or burial. On 16 November 1791, the Cornwallis Anglican church records show the baptism of Sarah, Rebecka, Edward, Atwell and William; children of Patrick and Mary Poore. However this was a time of religious conversions, and Mary and Sarah Power were listed as members of the Cornwallis New Light church before 1799. After 1791, the family name is usually referred to as Power. Kings County land records show that Patrick Power paid o50 to William Baxter for 150 acres of land situated on the North Mountain in 1804. He later passed this land to his son William in his will. Children: i. Mary, b. about 1771; m. Henry Atkinson. Henry was the son of John and Martha (Colpitts) Atkinson, who came from Durham County, England in the spring of 1774 along with close to 70 other settlers. He was born in Durham County, England about 1770. The 1813 census of Cumberland County lists Henry Atkinson as a farmer with 3 servants. The 1827 census of Nova Scotia lists Henry Atkinson as a farmer living in River Philip, Cumberland County with his wife, 2 male servants and 1 female servant. They were Anglicans. Presumably, they had no issue. Mary d. 19 Oct 1867 in River Philip at the age of 94. The death record lists her occupation as farmer, her martial status as widow and her place of birth as Cornwallis. ii. Jane, m. Simon Porter, son of Simeon and Sarah (Kilborn) Porter. Simon was a farmer in Kings County, N.S. They had issue: Abraham, Rebecca, Isaac, Jacob, Asahel, Jane, Jemima, Mary Alice, Simon Newton, Gideon Henry. iii. Sarah, b. about 1778, unmarried and living at home in 1811. The Cornwallis Baptist church records show the marriage of Benoni Sweet to a Sarah Power, 26 Nov 1817. iv. Rebecka, b. about 1781, probably married Francis McNutt on 21 Feb 1799 in Londonderry Township. She evidently died before 1811 as Patrick left part of his estate to Rebecka McNutt's two children in his will. 2. v. Edward, b. about 1783. vi. Atwell, b. about 1785; living at home in 1811. 3.vii. William, b. about 1788 in Cornwallis. In Patrick's will, he left to his beloved wife Hannah, one half of all his real estate and all of his personal estate. Therefore, his first wife Mary must have died between 1791 and 1811. An inventory of Patrick's estate dated 13 November 1811 shows: o123. 12. 0 Farm, buildings,etc. 400. 0. 0 ---------- 523. 12. 0 The will was witnessed by John Wells, Patrick Lyons and Stephen West. John Wells was born 28 Sep 1772 in Cornwallis, the son of Judah and Anne (Bigelow) Wells of Colchester, Connecticut. John Wells was of the Anglican faith and an M.P.P. Stephen West was born about 1750 and was listed as Capt. West in The History of Kings County. Was Patrick Lyons the father of David Lyons who married Elizabeth Ratchford and had children listed in the Cornwallis Township book starting in 1780? The origin of Patrick has remained a mystery. If his daughter Mary and son William were born in Cornwallis, as is stated on their death records, the authorities didn't seem to be aware of his presence (ie. the author has not been able to find any record of his presence). If the data on Mary (Power) Atkinson's death record is correct, Patrick would have been there in 1773. Was the son Atwell named after his mother's maiden name? John Atwell was granted land in Horton Township in 1761. Ruth Atwell was married to Samuel Westcoat in Cornwallis 27 Feb 1782. Esther Atwell married Amos Wickwire who was born in New England 17 Nov 1757. There were other Power's in areas near Cornwallis before 1791. A William Power, yeoman of Falmouth, Hants County, along with Thomas Manning, yeoman, purchased 325 acres of land in Hants County in 1788. William sold his half interest to Enoch Stead in 1789. A John Power of Newport, Hants County sold 240 acres of land in Rawdon, Hants County for o20 on 5 May 1788. Another reference to Powers and Newport, Hants County appears in the Lockhart Families of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick: Rebekah Lockhart, b. 22 Apr 1772; m. Andrew Harvie, b. 11 Mar 1769, son of John and Experience (Powers) Harvie of Newport. The Kings County Probate Records have Administration Papers for a Thomas Power of Parrsborough. He was listed as a clerk on these papers, although he bore the title of Reverend and was owed one & half years salary by several of his subscribers. These documents sometimes spelled his surname as Poor. An auction sale held 30 June 1806 combined with receipts from the collection of debts produced o62. 9. + . However he owed o69. 15. 7 on accounts and evidently was not a wealthy person. The administrators of his estate do provide links to Kings and Hants Counties. They were: Thomas Cowerford of Windsor, labourer; Colin Campbell of Windsor, Esquire; and Moses Lockwood of Cornwallis, Kings County, yeoman. The History of Kings County states that Moses Lockwood came to Nova Scotia from Connecticut after the Revolutionary War. He m. (2) in Cornwallis, 24 Jan 1786, Phebe, dau. of James and Grace Fox, and d. in Cornwallis, 8 Dec 1807. His wife Phebe was listed in the 1811 list of pew-holders in St. John's Anglican church, Cornwallis. Thus one could assume that Rev. Thomas and Patrick were of the same faith. These Power's may have been Patricks father, brothers, uncles or cousins. Going a step further astray, there were several Anglican Power families in Halifax county before 1791. However, no solid links to the subject of this document has been found. I'd be glad to share what I have with anyone who's interested. Greg

Mary Elizabeth Atwell was born Sept 1, 1869 in Devonshire, Eng (according to death certificate). Her parents were Thomas Atwell and Mary Ann DAW/DAWE/DAWES. They migrated and settled in Michigan. Would like to find information on the siblings and parents of Thomas Atwell. sharon smith ssmith@monroe.lib.mi.us

Even if you have posted your lines in the past would you please take a moment to repost them. Many people have joined the list in the past month and you might miss a connection. Although LURKERS are welcome, I'd like to ask each of you to post those lines, information and queries. There are many people who have been on the list for quite some time and haven't taken the time to post anything. EXAMPLE: There are almost 90 people on the BALDWIN List and only 25 different people have posted. We are missing something here. I will be comparing the list of those that post in the next week against the master list of subscribers. If you don't post anything then I'm going to send you a personal request. If for some reason you don't wish to post anything to the list, would you please let me know why. I can understand some new people being a little hesitant, after all some of the internet users can be pretty intolerant of mistakes. Don't worry about that, if anyone gets flamed, just let me know and the person doing the flaming is history...

I need a favor from one AOL User... Would someone from each mail list take the time for post an advertisment for this mail list on the AOL Genealogy Surname Bulletin Boards. I would appreciate it. I have decided to drop my AOL account for a variety of reasons, but would still like to take advantage of that feature. Is there someone on the list that would like to volunteer to be the official list--PROMOTER. I'd like someone to monitor other lists and to advertise the list.
