Her brother and son were blind from retinitis pigmentosa, as are other male descendants, including my brother. Hulda's mother was Nancy Porter, b.1831 in PA to parents born in PA.Her father was William Powell,b.1830 in PA,to parents born in NC and PA. I am especially interested in Nancy due to the RP gene.o you know if any of these fit into your family? I have written so many messages- I hope you haven't already heard from me!! Carol Carlson
