    3. We seek information of any kind on John and Joanna POWELL of Newberry Township. John died intestate 1774, leaving behind six children who were all minors. His wife, Joanna. and Ellis LEWIS were administrators of John's estate. In 1785, Joanna remarried to a SHANNON, given name unknown. In particular we would like to learn if these folks were Quakers; the names of John and Joanna's children, plus Joanna's maiden name. Sounds like I am asking for someone to do my research, but help with any of the above items would be useful and appreciated. We have learned of a MILES family among whose members was a Joanna. Somewhere along the way a Joanna married a POWEL/POWELL. Since that given name, Joanna, is unusual in this POWEL/POWELL lineage, I am wondering is someone is researching that family, too. The York Archives and the Heritage Library have been searched without finding answers to the above questions. TIA Mary Frances
