Especially if there's text about Sampson Powell. #70, #80, #134, #154, #194 You do such a wonderful service. How do you consistently do it? I watch all the requests ( and responses) come in on my computer and I am simply amazed. Even on Christmas Eve. Are all those books in your home? Looking for anything given about Benjamin Powell's parents and birthplace in # 164. He has a home on display in Historic Williamsburg. At your convenience, of course. Jan
