Your response was great; I read the Rockvale website and saw the picture of the Joseph Powell family. I shared it with my children as well. I have many stories about Effie as she was my beloved grandmother. She was a wonderful cook and shared some of her best recipes (my favorites) with my wife, Sue. She would never do that with my mother as there was a tense relationship. She was a dynamic and strong willed woman. I have only one picture of my grandparents, Effie and Guy, but would be happy to copy and share with you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hank and Powell List members, Sorry, I can't help with this Powell line. It is not mine. It was posted to the Edgefield County, South Carolina, list. I only forwarded it to the Powell List as my "random act of genealogical kindness!" for the day/week thinking it might help someone else.

I am very interested in the three postings you included here as I have been trying to connect my Powell line to someone in South Carolina. My ggrandfather stated three times in different censuses that his family came from SC. We have no record of where, when he was born (approx. 1813-15)or his parents' names. The earliest record we have of him is the 1850 Census in Macon County, AL. He was 35 then, living with a family named Clark as a farmer. Records from there forward are reasonably good. It is the brickwall before 1850. There are several Powells listed in 1850 in Macon county, AL.....Nathaniel, Seymour, Seymour, Jr., Richard, Israel and William David, my ggrandfather. I know that most came from VA, via GA, then to AL about the time that the Creeks ceded their lands to the gov't. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

Proven Lexington District 14 October 1806 by Robert Alkins [Atkins]; Jeremiah Williams J.Q. Rec 17 March 1807; Rd Tutt CC. You can print out the 4 Jul 1774 plat of 650 acres for William Stent and the adjoining 12 Feb 1773 plat of 200 acres for Nathaniel Powell from the SCDAH search page at www.archivesindex.sc.gov. The location, Lick Creek of West Creek of Cloud's Creek of the Little Saluda River, is slightly north and west of Leesville SC, and straddles the line between old Edgefield (Saluda Co) and Orangeburgh (Lexington Co) Districts. The Silas Carter tract, adjacent to Stent and one-tract-over from Powell, was the site of the 1781 Cloud's Creek Massacre. This location is not near Abney's Meetinghouse, but nobody could have enlisted there for the Revolution anyway. The one-acre site for the meetinghouse, near the head of Persimmon Lick Creek and a mile south of Higgins Ferry (Saluda River), was donated by George Abney in 1798. The subscriptions to build and maintain the non-denominational meetinghouse were collected in 1803. When the Revolution ended, Zachariah Smith Brooks was a 17-year-old private, according to his pension application. The militia list that included John H. Powell in the company of Capt. Z. S. Brooks was the post-war county militia, mustered in the 1790's before Brooks became its Colonel. There is no SC Revolutionary service record for a John Powell from the Edgefield region, although one of the Powells with the same Edgefield "creek address" (Moses Powell, 1762-1821) has a GA service record, according to a secondary source. The Powells who lived on/near the same creek and/or signed documents in common in ~1775-1805 were named John, Nathaniel, Moses, Lewis, Elkanah, Richard, Abraham and Charles. A different set of Powells, heirs of John Powell of Lunenburg Co VA, lived at Liberty Hill near the Savannah River (across from Augusta GA): many girls plus a George Powell. I have no idea when John H. Powell may have appeared in the Edgefield region, since his earliest record is the 1790 census. The ones named Moses, Lewis and Nathaniel were all in the region (and on Cloud's Creek) well before the Revolution. I didn't spot a deed showing when/how John H. Powell managed to get the western half of the 650-acre William Stent grant, but Nathaniel Powell had bought the eastern half. Stent was a Charleston merchant/investor, never lived out on the frontier. He sold the eastern half to John Wells in 1776, then it went to Nathaniel Powell in 1789, then Isom Brooks, Elkanah Sawyer, and Robert Atkins, all by 1797. Busy land! The Lick Creek/West Creek adjoining properties suggest some type of relationship between Nathaniel Powell and John Hathorn Powell, but not what it is or where they'd come from. The middle name Hathorn also points that way. Nathaniel Powell Sr. deeded lands to four grandsons, on a couple of occasions. Nathaniel Powell Jr., Martin Powell, and Bartlett Powell were sons of Nathaniel's son Richard Powell (Edgefield Deed Book 21, pp. 170-173); Deed of Gift was witnessed in 1800 by Elkanah Powell (relationship not stated) and Jacob Hydrick (neighbor and son-in-law). The other Deed of Gift in 1801 (Edgefield Deed Book 29, p. 363) was to a son of Jacob Hydrick, whose name was variously transcribed as Harthhorm, Harthorn, Harthhorn, Heathern, etc. John Powell and Elkanah Powell witnessed that one. Jacob Hydrick also had a son named Powell Hydrick in 1796; he was in Stewart Co GA in 1850 and Barbour Co AL in 1860. The Hydricks were mostly in Orangeburgh District during the 19th century. It would be an extraordinary coincidence if two unrelated Powells lived adjacent to one another, witnessed each other's legal documents, and each used the distinctive family name Hathorn (however spelled).

In researching JOHN H. POWELL who married Esther nee?. Has anyone found records to correct my notes? I have that: 1. The name HATHORN has only been found in a deed of 1850 MS Harrison County where the name JOHN HATHORN POWELL was used revealing the middle name of John Jr. son of John H. Powell. . . . . Has anyone found any record showing JOHN H. POWELL (c.1755-)'s middle name to be Hathorn. 2. Do any of the family records show the younger John H. Powell as John H. Powell Jr. I still have not found a record referring to him as Junior. If anyone has found these actual records can you post them? It would sure help. I feel like I am repeating as facts some assumptions that were made a long time ago ... Thanks, Hannah Powell
