Hello, Can someone tell me which John POWELL from S.C. was the father of Oceola? I have 3 consecutive John POWELLs from N.C. to S.C. Copied from Woodward's Reminiscenses - Part 1 "A Col. Deas, a South Carolinian, was with me. Ned, those were good days, were they not? I can never recall them, nor many other things that were very cheering to me then. I wonder if my five cedar trees, that I planted at the McGarr place when I owned it, are living yet? Ned, I, in company with my family, old Aunt Betsy Kurnells, (or Connells,) Tuskeneha, and old John McQueen, dug up those cedars, when they were very small, from under a large cedar that shaded the birth-place of Ussa Yoholo, or, Black Drink, who, after the murder of General Thompson, in Florida, was known to the world as Oceola. This man was the great grand-son of James McQueen. You know his father -- the little Englishman, Powell. His mother was Polly Copinger." http://www.webroots.org/library/usahist/tcnigal1.html Thank you.
