(I have photo) Possible relation to Powell family of same region who went to TX in covered wagon. They lived in/near Loganstreet in De Soto Parish, were sharecroppers and had 16 children, among them were Mary Jane (Mae Jane), RC, Louella, Richard (Red), Turner b. Aug. 8, 1911. Ben was a grandson of Turner and Josephine. Turner Sr. was biracial, possibly Black & Indian/Mexican Josephine was biracial, possibly Indian & Black/White. Hearsay: A white man by the name of Turner (first or last) was a local contractor who built roads and was thought to be her father. The family bible was lost in a church fire in early 1900's(?).
