Hello, Joan: I received this a few days ago. If he hasn't already responded to your query, you might try Bill Calhoun. >From: bill calhoun <[email protected]> >Subject: O.C. Powell >Status: > >My grandmother's mother was Georgia Ann Powell b. 1855 and the only thing >anyone in the family knew was that her father had been killed when she was >about seven or eight years old.Actually i have found on the 1863 salt lists >for Bartow County that Eliza Powell was listed as the wife of a deceased >soldier, buy there is no record of him on the military rolls. She also noted >that Georgia Ann's mother had moved the family to Adairsville in Bartow >County, Ga. From this i found O.C. Powell and Eliza on the 1860 census of >Atlanta where he was listed as a carpenter. I lucked out looking at the >various counties and found the marriage of Oliver C. Powell and *Eliza >McCrary*. My trail has stopped here but i did find the other Oliver C. Powell >in Elbert and Madison Counties. This seemed like a heck of a coincidence. I >am saving your message in my Powell File and will continure to try and >connect this Powell. It could easily be that my O.C. could be a brother to >your Allen as the place and the time is just right. Thanks so much for >sending me this and if i find anything , i'll let you know. >THANKS Bill Calhoun Good luck in your research Daniel Jones >I am researching the McCrary Family that settled in Forsyth and Hall counties >in the 1830s.
