I would like to contact anyone researching the Powell family of Henry County Stark County, Illinois who moved to Ellsworth Co KS, Cleveland Co OK and Dawson Co NE. I have been collecting data on these families for over 30 years. I am still missing pieces, but am willing to share what I have with other family members. I do have photos of many of these people.. The mother of these children was Lucretia. She married Powell sometime in the 1840's and after the Civil War married James K Oziah . I have theories on her Powell husband, but no real proof. The children were Charles Henry Powell married in 1872 in Henry Co IL Nelle E Larkin. He did not appear with his mother after the 1850 census, but resided with Cicero (Charles) and Susan Ferguson in Henry Co in 1860. These people moved to Cozad, Dawson Co, NE. Charles Henry had two sons, William and Lewis Melvin. Mary Elizabeth Powell who married Henry B. Dorrance in Stark Co IL in 1858. After she was widowed she moved to Cleveland Co OK with her two children, Effie Dorrance Ingle and Lemuel Dorrance.. James C Powell who married Rose Holmes in 1866 in Stark Co. They, along with his wife and three children, his mother, Lucretia, and her husband and son from the second marriage moved to Ellsworth Co in the 1870's. James children were Ruben, John, and Sarah "Sadie" Crow. Lewis Powell born 1853 also moved to Ellsworth Co KS. He had a wife Mary and three daughters, Rose, Letta and Adda Powell. Lewis died in the early 1880's and I have not been able to find anything about this family after 1885. Lucretia's son from the second marriage was Minott Weldon Oziah.
