Anyone on the list researching the POWERS family. Okay, Powers is like Smith or Miller, but we don't get to pick the surnames we are researching ;-) Specifically I am focused on Walter and Ellen McCarthy POWERS, Irish immigrants who lived just northwest of Fidelity from the mid-1880s until they died in 1897 and 1905, leaving ten children, some of whom were minors. In the Walter Powers estate papers, Ellen and a Patrick Powers signed the administrator's bond; he used and 'X'. Anybody familiar with this family, or whether they are in any way related to other Powers in Jersey County? Jane Lahey
