Lewis and Mary Powell appear in Ellsworth Co KS 1880 census with a daughter Rose born in 1878. Lewis was born about 1853 in Wisconsin, the son of Lucretia Hollabaugh Powell and perhaps her husband John Ruben Powell. Mary was born about 1858 in OH. Her maiden name is unknown. Lewis died in Feb 1884 at Holyrood, Ellsworth Co, KS. At the time of the 1885 Kansas state census Mary and two daughters Letta and Adda born 1881 and 1883 were living with Mary's brother-in-law James C Powell and his family. Rose is not there. I assume she died. They are not to be found in Ellsworth County in the 1895 census, nor have I been able to find any clues as to Mary, Letta or Adda in the 1900 census. If you have any clues regarding this family, I would be thrilled to hear from you. After almost 40 years of research, I am getting my material into a hardcopy and would like to finish my Powell book in the next couple of months. Thanks! Gayle in Kansas

Surnames: POWELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WOBBAIB/5223 Message Board Post: excerpt from "History of Kentucky", by Lewis Collins (July 10 -Sept. 11, 1861) July 10: In the circuit court at Louisville, in the case of BRADY & DAVIES vs. L. & N. R.R., Judge MUIR decided that the United States has the right to stop the shipment of goods to the south. --Large purchases of mules in Ky., for U. S. army purposes. July 15: At Camp Boone, 8 miles from Clarksville, Tennessee, several regiments of Kentuckians are volunteering, for the Confederate army. -- At camp Clay, opposite Newport, and at camp Joe Holt, opposite Louisville, four "Kentucky" regiments are volunteering for the U. S. army; probably one-third of them are recruited elsewhere, and are not Kentuckians. July 22: In the house of representatives of congress, John J. CRITTENDEN, of Ky., offered the following resolutions, which was adopted, part of it by 121 years to 2 nays, and the balance by 117 yeas to 2 nays (Henry C. BURNETT, of Ky., and John W. REID, of Mo.): "Resolved, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the county by the disunionists of the Southern States, now in arms against the constitutional government, and in arms around the capital; that in this national emergency, congress -- banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment -- will recollect only its duty to the whole country; that this war is not waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of over-throwing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those states, but to defend and maintain the SUPREMACY (italicized) of the constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several states unimpaired; and that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease." A few days later, in the U.S. senate, Andrew JOHNSON, of Tennessee, offered a resolution to the same purport and almost identical in language -- which was passed by years 30, nays 5. (John C. BRECKINRIDEGE and Lazarus W. POWELL, of Ky., Lyman TRUMBULL, of Ill. and Trusten POLK, and W. P. JOHNSON, of Missouri.) August: Brig. Gen. Wm. NELSON establishes camp Dick ROBINSON, in Garrard county, where companies of Federal soldiers from north-eastern, central, and central-southern Kentucky, are concentrated into regiments -- all in violation of the neutrality of the state. August 19: Gov. MAGOFFIN sends Wm. Ad. DUDLEY and Frank K. HUNT as commissioners to President Lincoln, to urge the removal of this force from the limits of Ky. The President replies that this force consists exclusively of Kentuckians, in the vicinity of the own homes, and was raised at the "urgent solicitation of many Kentuckians;" he declines to remove it. On the same day, the governor dispatched Geo. W. JOHNSON as commissioner to the President of the Confederate States, at Richmond, to elicit an authoritative assurance that that government will continue to respect Ky. neutrality. President Davis replied that he had respected it, and would continue to do it, "so long as the people of Ky. will maintain it themselves;" but neutrality, to be entitled to respect, must be strictly maintained between both parties. September: Sept. 3: Confederate troops from Tennessee occupy and fortify a strong position at Hickman and Columbus, Ky. Sept. 5:Federal troops, by order of Brig. Gen. U. S. Grand, occupy Paducah and other places in Ky. Sept. 7: U. S. flag hoisted on the capitol at Frankfort, by order of the house of representatives, by 77 to 20. Sept. 9: "Peace" convention at Frankfort. -- Major-General Leonidas POLK, commanding Confederate army at Columbus, Ky., notifies Gov. MAGOFFIN that he will withdraw his troops from Ky., provided the Federal troops are simultaneously withdrawn; and will guaranty that confederate troops will remain out of the state, provided that Federal troops shall not again be allowed to enter or occupy any point of Kentucky in the future. Sept/ 10: States' Rights state convention in session at Frankfort, Richard HAWES, chairman; 70 counties represented; speeches by Wm. PRESTON, Thos. F. MARSHALL, Robert W. WOOLLEY, Lewis E. HARVIE, Edward C. MARSHALL, and others; resolutions adopted deploring the unnatural war, advocating strict neutrality, in favor of the dispersion of the Federal camps in the state, and expressing readiness, when that is done, to assist in driving the Tennessee invaders from our shores. Sept. 11: The house, by 71 to 26, "Resolves, That his excellency, Gov. MAGOFFIN, be instructed to inform those concerned that Kentucky expects the Confederate or Tennessee troops to be withdrawn from her soul, unconditionally; and then, by 29 to 68, defeats another resolution requesting the governor to demand the immediate withdrawal of BOTH (italicized) the Federal and Confederate troops from the south-western part of the state. The senate, by 25 to 8, adopted the former resolution; which the governor vetoed on 13th, and both houses promptly passed it over the veto -- thus BEING DRIVEN FROM OR ABANDONING THE "NEUTRALITY GROUND" (italicized) hitherto consistently occupied. The governor promptly issued his proclamation, as "instructed," strictly.

Your Powells came from an area in Wales that one of the project participants believe his Powells came from. It would be interesting to see if you match up with his DNA. You can learn about the DNA project at the following website: Powell Surname DNA Project http://home.flash.net/%7Eparino/powell-surname-dna-project.htm Jim Barrett who administers the Powell project will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I am searching for two sisters, Letta Powell and Adda Powell born in 1881 and 1883 in Ellsworth County, Kansas. They were the daughters of Lewis Powell and his wife Mary (maiden name unknown). Their father died Feb 1884 at Holyrood, Ellsworth Co, KS. They appear on the 1885 census with their mother, residing with their uncle James C Powell. I don't know if Mary remarried and the girl's changed their names. Or if they were just married by the time of the 1900 census. I cannot find any of them after 1885. Will appreciate any help I can get. Gayle in Kansas gayle1@wheatstate.com

Hi Lee Powell, Thank you very much for this information. I had actually read this file two days ago. This is not my line that I have been able to tell. There is a statement in this file that I have read elsewhere: "In 1685, there were five Powell brothers who came to the English Colonies in America from Brecon, Wales, stopping first in New Jersey. One of the brothers remained in New Jersey and married a German woman and had twenty-one children, twenty sons and one daughter. The other brothers scattered, one went to Ohio, one to Pennsylvania and two went to Virginia." My line is the family that went to Pennsylvania and seems to be very difficult to trace. =========================================================================== Lee Powell <leep57@triad.rr.com> wrote: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/e/e/Sylvia-See-AB/FILE/0075page .html?=&w=&Welcome=1054316014 Some of the old Welsh names associated with the Powell line are listed here on Page 7. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of cljuker@yahoo.com Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 1:13 AM To: POWELL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [POWELL] Powell Ancestors in Wales This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
