It is my hope that someone might have knowledge of guardianship papers for Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell in either Halifax Co. VA or Oglethorpe Co. GA or a Will of a William Powell naming a daughter, Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell. I have the following for Oglethorpe Co., Ga "Oglethorpe County, Georgia Abstracts of Wills 1794-1903" "Oglethorpe County, Georgia Inferior and Ordinary Court Records 1794-1920, Volume 1" The only thing in either book is the will of Smith Johnson: 13 Dec 1803 recorded 7 Jan 1806 I give and bequeath unto my son John Johnson, etc I give and bequeath to my son Minor W. S. Johnson, etc I give and bequeath unto my granddaughter, Elizabeth W. Traylor, etc I give and bequeath to my granddaughter, Sally W. Powell, etc I give and bequeath to my granddaughter, Margaret Johnson, etc Exr: Minor W. S. Johnson Wit: Bird Parks, Charles Hay, Tob Hay, Henry Lumpkin, Mathew Rainey, Samuel Sheet Do you know who are the parents of the Sally W. Powell? Ann Corum

I recently began work on my grandmother's family and I have reached a dead end with Thomas C. or Thomas P. Powell depending on the census year. I cannot decide which Thomas Powell he might be for 1850. There are so many. Is anyone out there working on this family. Thanks Cathy Mayfield

I am new to the Powell list and I am looking for any information on the William Powell who married Sally Johnson in Halifax Co. VA on 16 Sep 1786. It is thought that William and Sally Johnson Powell had one child named Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell, b. abt. 1787 Halifax Co. VA and married Thomas Traylor 2 June 1802 in Oglethorpe Co. GA. Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell Traylor is named in the Will of Smith Johnson in Oglethorpe Co. GA dated 13 Dec 1803; Recorded 7 Jan 1806. Smith Johnson was the Grandfather of Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell Traylor and the father of Sally Johnson Powell. Since Smith Johnson does not mention his daughter, Sally Johnson Powell or any others that could have been children of Sally it is thought that Sally died soon after her daughter, Elizabeth was born. It is my hope that someone might have knowledge of guardianship papers for Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell in either Halifax Co. VA or Oglethorpe Co. GA or a Will of a William Powell naming a daughter, Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell. It appears more likely than not that Sally Johnson Powell died before 1790 but I have no clue what happened to her husband, William Powell. Any help will be most appreciated. Deanna

MJZ, What I tried to explain (maybe I confused you or didn't explain it clearly) that Durward published a book that he gave to me. I have that information. During his research, he compiled notes on brothers, and branches in order to obtain his own information. When I visited Kittrell months ago, I came into contact of a Powell, that connected me to him. He had information on my line (Edwin Powell). He explained to me that he no longer would be researching the lines leading to me, but I was welcomed to his notes on this. His current interest is with the lines leading back from his Robert Powell. Along with his book, and notebook full of his research done, he also sent me 14 pages of what he is currently researching, with his theories, etc. In which, he states that Mary Turkey was her name. Also, I read the Turkey name out of the Silas Lucas Book on the Powell's of VA and the South. I am now ISO this information for you, and am also going to contact him as I am sure he can give me quicker answers than I could look up. I am also very new to this, but eager to learn. If I have any info that I can share, I would enjoy contributing to you and I hope you would do the same. In essence, I hope that I haven't offended you as you seem to be much deeper into the genealogy than I at the moment. When I get word from Durward, I will email you with his response.

Katie: Well this is indeed the "can of worms" Powell family discussion. Everyone has done a lot of research on this Powell of York family but it seems no one really knows/ accepts who belongs to whom. I suggest you try a search on USGen.web Archives from Virginia on Powells and you will find considerable transcriptions on wills and deeds etc. and I have contributed a few. I also have recently been transcribing a Chancery Suit regarding Mary Powell Phillipson Wynn in which her sons Edward, Robert and John are mentioned. You might want to browse through early posts on this mailing list on these Powells including the "Edwin/Edmund/Edward" Powell you are seeking. There are many transcriptions and research contributions that have been posted on this mail list on all those Powells and perhaps you can compare their finds or contributions with that you received from Durward E. Powell. Now please check your pages that you received and let me know exactly what evidence supports that the wife of Thomas Powell who died in York Co - will 1735 probated 1739, named Mary had the maiden name of Turkey? You mentioned what he stated in his notes, but did he offer any proof or citations that supports any of his statements? From the net, I found this about Durward Powell's book and it appears to begin in the 1790's and so I am wondering where in this book he discusses the York County Powells. Can you help me identify where in the book? It also appears to have been privately published. Robert and Charity's Eleven and then some A Powell Genealogy * Author: Durward E. Powell, Jr This work attempts to broaden previous research to include the descendants of all eleven children of Robert and Charity Powell. Most of the emphasis has been placed on four of the brothers, Robert, Jr., John Enoch and Henry. Three of them have been traced through their descendants to include those born currently, however, this has not been possible with John. Continuity stopped on his line with the 1880 Granville County Census, when it seem that his whole line disappeared from the official records.

I have been researching these Powells for a long time so naturally when you mentioned a Thomas Powell from York, I was interested. My Thomas Powell's father was a Seymour Powell who died in James City Co. bef. 1767. The Thomas Powell of York with will of 1747 and all those York Powells are a much discussed lot. From what I have found, the Thomas Powell with a Mary Turkey was from Norfolk Co Powells. I would be most interested in Mary Powell's will, as I have not seen a will listed in York County for a Mary Powell. Can you give me the Book, Page no, and County reference? It is even more interesting in that Rev. Lucas' book on the Powells mentions that there is some confusion regarding the Thomas Powell of Norfolk Co, who appears to have died 1731-51 either in Norfolk Co or Elizabeth City Co. According to Lucas, this Thomas Powell married a Mary Turkey who was a daughter of Thomas and Eliz. Turkey. Is this the line that you are referring to , with a Mary Turkey Powell will of 1786? MJZ

Where do you come into the Powell line? The York Co, would be in VA. Mary Turkey that married Thomas Powell left a will in 1786. Do you have information conflicting this? I would like to hear from you soon. Thank you.

I am new to the Powell list. I am looking for any information on Abraham Powell, born 1811 in Burke Co., GA and his wife, Sarah Sapp, born 1812 in Bulloch Co., GA. They were married in Tattnall County, GA on October 5, 1838. Would like to correspond with any descendants of these two and compare information. Kathryn
