Joseph married Pearl Washburn on February 27, 1901 in Franklin County, Kentucky. Worth Roberts and wife Amanda Unknown lived in Henry County, Kentucky. Worth died sometime before 1880 since he is not in the 1880 census. Amanda remarried Humphrey Washburn on October 2, 1881; they had a child named Otis Washburn. Recent genetic DNA testing has tied this family to another Roberts family in North Carolina. Please get in touch if you have any information. Thank you!

Author: ElishasDescendant Surnames: Powell Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.burke/4698/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for information concerning the Thomas Powell who owned several tracts of land in Burke County from 1778-1800. Here are my questions: 1. Is Thomas related to the Powellton family -- Elias, Ambrose, Benjamin, Elijah Powell, James and John. Some sources show a Thomas as a brother of Elias Jr and Ambrose, and other sources omit him. He apparently inherited John Powell's Burke County land when he died in about 1782, and thus may have been his son or grandson. 2. What are the names of Thomas' wife and children? 3. Did Thomas move to Maury County TN with Ambrose and his family? I am trying to determine if this is the same Thomas Powell who died in 1815 in Maury County, TN, leaving wife Flora, and children, Elisha, Zepporrah, Flora and Sarah.

I would like to add that I've located William Jones and wife Nancy Teaque in the 1880 Census for Hico, Benton, Arkansas. They have added several more children to their family - too many to list here. I also would like to add some detail regarding the Henry Rhodes mentioned in your post. Henry Rhodes was born about 1795 in North Carolina. His only known wife - Mary Ann Hollingsworth - was born about 1797 in North Carolina. I have a copy of their youngest son's death certificate (William M. Rhodes) who died in Christian County Missouri in 1934. It states that his mother's maiden name was 'Mary Hollingsworth'. Henry and Mary Ann Hollingsworth Rhodes arrived in Georgia about 1841-1842 where they likely remained for the rest of their lives. Henry last appears on the 1870 Union County GA census and Mary Ann on the 1880 Union County GA census Children were: Elizabeth 1822-1863 (Married 1.unkown Jones and 2. Ezekiel Gribble) May be 'Margaret Elizabeth' Wesley 1823-after 1880 (Married Caroline Stewart) Wilma Emaline Rhodes 1833-after 1880 (Married Pinkney Odom) George Rhodes 1835-after 1870 (Married Louretta Jane ??) James T Rhodes 1841-1864 (Married Camilia Odom - Said to have died as a Confederate private in a Union prison camp near Chicago.) William M. 1843-1934 (Married 1. Sarah Odom and 2. Camilia Odom. All of these children except William were born in North Carolina. William was born in Georgia. And one more 'probable' daughter Carolina Rhodes 1825-1926 (Married George Odom). We know that the Caroline Rhodes who married George W. Odom is buried at Odom Chapel Cemetery in Graham County, NC. We just haven't proven that she is Henry and Mary Ann's daughter. It seems likely that she is. As the Rhodes and Odom families are clustered around each other in Union County Georgia and two Rhodes brothers of this generation married two Odom Daughters as shown above. It seems that by 1890 most of this family had left North Georgia. Some went back to SW North Carolina and many ended up in Southwest Missouri/Northern Arkansas/Eastern Oklahoma. I can document at least 300 descendents of Henry Rhodes and Mary Ann Hollingsworth. What I can't do, yet, is find their ancesters! Any information/clues gladly accepted and I'm glad to share what I know. Here's a link to my current decendent registry for Henry Rhodes and Mary Ann Hollingsworth descendants. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=bateschastain&id=P2599915217 Greg Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I just reread the posting and think that I may have come across the following information after our last correspondence. Apparently there was a David Cowen born on Sept. 12, 1812 in Rowan county, supposedly the son of an Adam Cowan born about 1780 in NC, first wife's name Jean. David married Telitha Martin, who was also born in Rowan, in 1835 in Gasconade County MO. The families had traveled together and arrived sometime after 1828. Other children of Adam's were James Canada, John, Anastacia, and Mary Ann. What excited me is the son named James Canada as we have a John Canada Cowan as the son of our Adam(we think born about 1770)from Buncombe County. Adam Cowen/Cowan died in MO in 1836, there was an estate settlement with David Cowen listed as the administrator. Do you have an approximate time line for the David Cowan estate settlement in Mecklenburg? Our Buncombe County Cowan's (all except John Canada) were selling property about 1828 or shortly after, and were last found on the 1830 Census. We know our Adam also had a son named James born about 1802-04. The provider of the above information could give me no futher detail about their James Canada and I couldn't find him on the Missouri Census.

Do you think she could have married again? This time to a Puett. I find it strange that Henry would have been married to two women. Perhaps this was this case. I found a deed at the Burke County Register of Deeds stating Henry had died. The deed was around 1862. His property fell in the hands of a Isaac Franklin and was bought by Louis (Lewis) Franklin.
