Dear List Members, You will notice a different kind of posting on the list in the next little while. I have requested the Gateway between the Powell Board and the Powell List to be opened. Beside receiving posting from your fellow members you will receive notice and the message when one is posted on the board. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

I would like to find out if Annie Vee Powell had a daughter and what happened to her and if Annie Vee Knight and Dr. Powell had any other daughter. I would like to know if my record of Annie Vee Knight is wrong and there was another daughter of Mary Veturia Barnes and Charlie Knight. Actually, I am looking for a living female for a DNA project in which any female descendant of Elizabeth Pearce would be appropriate. If Annie Vee Powell did not have a dau, I would love to know what happened to her. Or, if there was another daughter of Annie Vee Knight and Dr. Powell I would like to know about it. The line would go an follows: Elizabeth Pearce m Wesley Freeman Wellons. Veturia Wellons m 2nd John Barnes. Mary Veturia Barnes b 1 July 1860 m Charlie Knight. I only have record of one child Annie Vee Knight b 1886 m Dr. Eppie Clifton Powell 1909 Wilson Co NC I have record of three children: William Frances(sic) Powell Annie Vee Powell Dr Eppie Charles Powell b 30 June 1910 Holly Springs NC If you can help me in any way, I would appreciate it very much. I have a female line through Venturia Wellons' sister but there is a question about whether the sister was actually the mother of our line. We could find out for sure if we could find a known descendant of Elizabeth Pearce and Wesley Wellons Thank you Sarah G.

Great tip and information Jane. Thanks for sharing with the group. I wish I had done on so many of my trips. MJ

This was on today's Ancestry's newsletter.. made alot of sense and if possible, I'm going to start to do the same. This sure would have helped me last October when I made a trip to AR. Jane Foley NC Ancestry Quick Tip After the Research Trip by Yolanda Campbell Lifter My long-distance research trips are usually seven or more days in length. I arrive home with piles of paper and documents that I have collected along the way as well as all the digital photos I took. To help make my post-trip recovery easier, I have developed a simple way to help myself. At the end of each day of research, I send myself an e-mail. I write where I was on that particular day and what I did. I note any libraries, courthouses, or cemeteries I visited. I also mention if I made any new discovery or found something that needs further follow-up. I list the name(s) of anyone I need to send a thank-you note. I report which client(s) I worked for that day and for how long. I also mention anything that may help me on future trips to the same area such as a landmark for that hard to find cemetery or the name and location of a store I visited. This method has helped me avoid feeling overwhelmed when I return home, and the task of organizing my new findings seems more manageable

I thought this might be interesting to share! Jane Foley NC 10 THINGS MY DESCENDANTS WILL HAVE WANTED ME TO KNOW: 10. that future generations would count so heavily on census reporting to be factual 9. that handwritten diaries handed down to stable generation descendants are a godsend to historians, even as 'mundane' things as their daily life activities 8. that when pictures were taken, making sure that they were labeled on the back more than 'Sue's baby dau" 7. that there was the importance of saving letters that contained info about the family they received from others. 6. giving family history including those letters and diaries and pictures to the real caretakers of the family who cared about the family history and family history preservation. 5. the important of continuing the yearly family reunions, even if a few attended 4. the godsend of writing down the migrations of the history that I knew it to be. From where to where, who and why.... 3. the importance of writing down copies of the Bible Records notations and passing it along to many members of the family including connecting ones in whatever way, in case of fire, flood, or stupid direct descendants who would pitch the valuable info. 2. the godsend of writing down their own family history and diagrams the way they knew it to be including who fought in what war, and whether or not the family was cousins with whatever famous person [and perhaps how, if they were!]And while we're at it, making the notations of how the name was spelled. 1. to NEVER NEVER NEVER name a son or dau, the same as in the past if more than 2 times it already appears in the same generation, found in the same county, and state.

I am trying to to tie any of the Powell's together from Duplin Co, NC My John H Powell was born in Duplin Co, NC in 1760.

Sam: You wrote: I am trying to to tie any of the Powell's together from Duplin Co, NC My John H Powell was born in Duplin Co, NC in 1760. ***** Brittain and Mary Powell had a son named John who was named in Brittain's will in 1838, filed in Duplin, NC. Brittain was believed to have been born in 1740 in VA. This is from his Rev. War pension application. Do you think it is possible that your John was the son of Brittain? My husband's gr....grandmother, Milly Powell Johnson/Johnston, was the daughter of Brittain. She was named in his will also. Earlene

I read some messages from a few years ago on Brittain Powell of Duplin, NC. Is anyone currently researching this family line, or has any information on it? Earlene Porter

I hope you enjoy this! Jane Foley Cornelius, NC The Census Taker It was the first day of census, and all through the land, The pollster was ready....a black book in hand.. He mounted his horse for a long, dusty ride, His book and some quills were tucked close by his side, A long, winding ride down a road barely there, Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air The woman was tired, with lines on her face, She gave him some water as they sat at the table, and she answered his questions the best she was able. He asked of her children....Yes, she had quite a few, The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two, She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red, His sister, she whispered, was napping in bed, She noted each person who lived there with pride, And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside, He noted the sex, the color, the age, The marks from the quill soon filled up the page, At the number of children--she nodded her head and saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead The places of birth she "never forgot", Was it Kansas?or Utah? or Oregon....or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear, but, she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such, They could read some, and write some, though really not much, When the questions were answered his job there was done, So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun, WE can almost imagine his voice loud and clear, "May God bless you all for another ten years", NOW picture a time warp....its now you and me. AS we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow, AS we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long-ago day, That the entries they made would affect us this way? If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel, and the searching that makes them so increasingly real? WE can hear if we listen the words they impart, Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart. Author Unknown......

I received this from another list and thought you might enjoy! Jane Foley Cornelius, NC The year 1904 Maybe this will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1904. One hundred and one years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some of the U.S. statistics for 1904: The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years. Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars. There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower! The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents an hour. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year. A mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home. Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason. The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30!!! Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. Two of 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." (Shocking!) Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time servant or domestic. There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S. And I forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you in a matter of seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years .. it staggers the mind

Found that the Georgia Archives has increased it's online information and index of records with some execellent information. FYI you might wish to search on our Powell names: _http://www.sos.state.ga.us/misc/search.htm_ (http://www.sos.state.ga.us/misc/search.htm)

I am looking for descendants of "Christ" POWELLL and Winnefred (spelled different ways) FLYNN found in Eldorado, CA in the 1860 census. Did not find Christ Powell after that, but did find Winnefred in the 1870 & 1880 census of Eldorado, CA. Christ Powell was born in DENMARK abt 1827 Winnefred FLYNN was born in Ireland abt 1825 Children: JOSEPH, MATHIAS, MARY & JAMES Elizabeth Bailey
