Hello John, I take it from your notations that Joab Powell was the administrator of McCartney's will? I am a descendant of Rev. Joab Powell. I am wondering what kind of connection the Powell and McCartney families may have had. None that I am aware of. Maybe they were just neighbors? The Powell DLC was over on what is now Richardson Gap Road. Or perhaps they traveled the OT in the same wagon train. Both Powell and McCartney families seem to have arrived early fall 1852. Anyway this is interesting. Thank you.
