On the website it listed a Rebecca Mode and children as living in the Powell home and there is a note about a bastardy bond involving Rebecca and Franklin Goode with Nancy Powell as a witness. In Franklin's household there is a Newton Powell. Do you know if Newton is related to Issac? Also, do you know if the Modes were of any relation to the Powells? > > A little hint if you haven't already noticed it. Next door to Uncle Isaac's > family is a brother of James Lee Green.

I'm guessing since you didn't note otherwise that William Powell was a farmer and that there was no one with any sort of health problem in the household? Also, if you know, were the children in school and could the family read and write? Thanks.

William Powell's wife Nancy's maiden name was Mode. I think Rebecca was her sister, but haven't done any research on that particular branch of Modes as yet. I don't know about Newton Powell. > > > > > A little hint if you haven't already noticed it. Next door to Uncle Isaac's > > family is a brother of James Lee Green.

There is no mention of whether any of the children attended school during the year. Also there is nothing in the real estate value for their farm. No health problems were mentioned. My particular branch of the Modes had deafness in the family. > Thanks. > > > ==== NCRUTHER Mailing List ==== > > Subscribing: Clicking on one of the shortcut links below should work, but if your browser doesn't understand them, try these manual instructions: to join NCRUTHER-L, send mail to NCRUTHER-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body.
