Carol, My wife's maiden name was Power. Some of the family spell it with an s on the end (Powers). They came from Hocking , Athens or possibly also Meigs County. They may have a connection to Scioto County. I have never researched the Power family. I have been concentrating on Barbers from Scioto County. I'd be interested in anything you have on either.

Bob, I have some POWERS folks in my family tree. Joseph POWER (Powers) (b. 1725 - d.1794 Loudoun Co, VA) & Sarah Shore (born abt 1726 in MD)----> daughter Mary POWERS (b.1755 Fairfax Co, VA - d.??? Rushville Co, IN) + married John Lewis (b. June 23, 1748 Fairfax Co, VA - d. Feb 17, 1835 Noble Twp, Rush Co, IN) m. about 1772 in Loudoun Co, VA -----> their son Thomas Powers LEWIS (b.1774 Loudon Co, VA - d. 1831 Rush Co, IN) Now before you dismiss this family as not the one you're looking for, note this..... Joseph Powers had 13 children (or more), so one of his children could be your relative. His daughter Mary migrated from VA to IN, I think through KY and the Adams Co area of OH. Mary's son Thomas Powers Lewis migrated from VA to KY to IN. Thomas Powers Lewis had a son, Thomas Gardner Lewis who was born in KY and died in Adams Co, OH. As I've traced my family (the Lewis & Powers families) and other families, I've noticed that they came from VA to KY into Adams Co, OH (adjacent to Scioto Co, OH) then to Rush Co, IN. Not all went to IN and some who went to IN returned to OH. There seems to be a migration path from KY to the Adams Co, OH area then to Rush Co, IN. And usually several members of a family migrated together. So perhaps some your Powers family stayed in the Adams Co, OH area & perhaps some went to Rush Co, IN, as mine did. So there you go....some clues to work with! If you want a list of all of the POWERS children, or more info on the Powers family, please write to me at the email address at the bottom of my message.
