I came across this in an old publication titled, "Scotch-Irish Chronicles" and thought those who trace back to the Powells and Barnetts might be interested. I'm still looking for my gg grandmother, NANCY POWELL, who was born ca 1850 or so, married Theophilus Brock, and had one child, Mahala Brock, born 1878. Nancy either died in childbirth or shortly thereafter.If anyone is researching the Powells and who might know something about my elusive Nancy, I'd love to hear from you. Diane R.
