Surnames: Goble, Powers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TBB.2ACI/174.195.1325 Message Board Post: I'm trying to find the Goble/Powers connection. My great grandfather was Samuel Powers Goble and I understand the Powers name was given because that was his biological father's name. If you could shed some light on this I would appreciate it. My grandfather died in Martin County, KY, but I don't know where he was born.....I think his wife's name was Alice.....His son was Issac Docford Goble and my dad is Marion Cecil Goble.....
