Hi Mary. I have no Powell info. BUT,,,Is the Zimmerman a married name? There were two lines of Zimmerman's that changed their name to Carpenter in the 1600's when coming to the US. Charlie

I have a Jesse Powell born Aug 24,1793 that I would love to place with a family. The first census I find him is 1830 Crawford Co.,Pa. He married Susannah McFadden. They both died in and are buried in Crawford County, Pa. Can anyone connect to Jesse?? Thanks for your time. Carol

They had five daughters one of which was Arizonia Rebecca who married Nicholas Stewart. > Dear List: By now if you are reading these emails, you must know that > at least two of us are working on the Powells from York, James City, > Williamsburg, Warwick and Surry Sussex area.

Dear List: By now if you are reading these emails, you must know that at least two of us are working on the Powells from York, James City, Williamsburg, Warwick and Surry Sussex area. We are asking for your help and information that you might have that could help us in finding our Powell lines. In spite of multiple deeds, wills and other information we are still at a quandary as to which of these families our lines might attach...if any. As best we can determine there were possible families there. Ann is searching for the family of the Edward Powell with will of 4 Nov 1795 and probated in Oglethorpe Co Ga. (please see her earlier post) I (Mary Jean) am searching for the family of the Seymour/Seymore/Seamore Powell who did before 1767 with wife Lucy Moss and sons Thomas Powell, Surgeon; John Powell, Surgeon and daughter Lucy Powell Roberts. Some of the current printed genealogies, such as Rev. Lucas' "Powell Book" and Thelma Hansford "Powell Family" paper, do not seem to address all the available records nor identity either of the families correctly of the two Powells that we are searching. We will and to some degree have shared some of our accumulated records and I plan to send two other records after this. We ask you also to help, suggest, or share your records with all of us or to offer some discussion or comment. Are there any of you out there who still have that wonderful "genealogist help each other" mentality? Look forward to hearing from somebody...I hope. Thanks, Mary Jean Zimmerman

Where I am headed. I believe that Seymore Powell father of Thomas with York Co. VA., will dtd 1735 had a son Seymore Powell Jr. (the one cited in your deed), and that your line and mine comes from the missing son Seymore. I have absolutely nothing at this point, other than I keep proving none of the other Powells fits with your line or mine. Ann Corum

Thanks, I did not have any more time at my library to go any further in my research of Brunswick Co. Your info will save me lots of time. Ann Corum

Reference the following: "Powell Families of Virginia and the South" by Lucas, pages 342-360. On pages 342-360 of the Lucas book, there is a discussion of the family of Thomas Powell with York Co., VA., will dtd Jul 1735. There is a son named Edward and John listed and the assumption is made that these two sons were the Edward and John Powell of Oglethorpe Co. GA. I do not believe this assumptions is correct based on the following: There is a son Thomas Powell listed on page 344. The assumption in the Lucas book is that this is the son, Thomas Powell with York Co., VA., will dtd 2 Apr 1749, probated 12 Jul 1749. I have no research that cites anything different. In the York Co., VA., will of Thomas Powell, is a reference to his mother Mary Phillipson. York Co. Deed 5, 1741-1754, 309-310. (information supplied by Mary Jean Zimmerman), Edward Powell Apprentices of Virginia; Master: Benjamin Moss; beginning date 20 Nov 1749; Mother: Mary Philipson, Occupation Carpenter. This Edward, son of Mary Philipson would have been under age. My Edward Powell of Oglethorpe and Sussex Co., VA was a land owner in Surry Co., VA., by 1744, his first child Elizabeth born in 1746, and could not be the same Edward Powell with mother Mary Philison listed as an apprentice of Benjamin Moss in York Co., VA. Sussex Co., VA., was formed from Surry Co., VA. The following timeline is from the Inman web page: Mary Powell widow of Thomas Powell with York Co., Va., will dtd 1735, and Robert Philipson were parties to a marriage contract dtd 5 Jul 1745, recorded 18 Nov 1745. He was a resident of Warwick Co., VA., and she was a residence of York Co., VA. Robert Philipson's will was dtd 21 Jan 1745/46 and proved 17 Mar 1746. Mary Philipson, widow of Robert, married Robert Wynne of Surry Co., in Brunswick Co., VA 9 Aug 1753. Robert Wynne's will was proved in Sussex Co., on 12 Aug 1754. He names his wife Mary. Mary Powell Philipson Wynne, made her will 5 Dec 1786 and the will was proved in Greensville Co., VA on 23 Oct 1788. Mary had purchased land earlier in her life in Brunswick, Co., VA., and I believe this land was in the part of Brunswick which later became Greensville (I have not proved this point). Mary Powell Philipson Wynne's will: Parish of Saint Andrews, 5 Dec 1786, probated 23 Oct 1788. Sons: Robert Powell and John Powell; grandsons: William Powell, son of Edward Powell, deceased; granddaughter: Mary Lee, wife of James Lee; grandson: Isaac Collier, son of Thomas Collier: granddaughters: Tabitha Tuell Powell, daughter of Edward Powell, and Mary Powell, daughter of Robert Powell; EX: Sons John Powell and Robert Powell; Wit: W. Mason, Matt Davis, Lucy Wrenn. (Mary Powell daughter of Thomas {will dtd 1735} and Mary Powell married Thomas Collier. She was deceased by the date of her mother's will) Edward Powell s/o Thomas and Mary Powell was deceased by 1786. Edward Powell of Oglethorpe Co., GA., and Sussex Co., VA. was alive and well in 1786 living in Georgia. I also believe he is the same Edward Powell listed on the 1790 Sussex Co., Virginia census. His will was dtd 4 Nov 1795, and probated in GA. Surry Co., VA., deed dtd 21 Feb 1744; William Akeison and wife, Winifred Atkeison of Surry Co., to Edward Powell of James City Co. for 60 pounds current money, 300 acres (being the land said Atkeison lives on) bounded by Sowerwood Branch, John Stokes and the Spring Swamp. My Edward is listed of James City Co., VA. I have no records available in my locale to research the Powell family of James City Co., VA. Has anyone been able to place the John and Edward Powell of Oglethorpe Co., GA., and Sussex Co., VA to a family other than the one cited in the Lucas book? Does anyone have access to any James City Co., VA., records? Thanks Ann Corum

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Martha POWELL taken at the Capwell Studio in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. The photograph was probably taken in the early 1900's with Martha appearing to be in her 20's at the time. I'm hoping to locate someone from Martha's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I am seeking information on the two sons of Charles Henry and Nellie LARKIN POWELL who moved from Marshall County, Illinois to Cozad, Lexington County, Nebraska after the 1880 census. The sons were Lewis Melvin Powell born in 1875 and died without issue. William Powell born 4 Aug 1876 or 7 and died in 1963 in North Platte, Lincoln Co, Nebraska. He married Adda / Addie Mae Harris. The Powell's children were Myrtle - Mrs. William M. Milner Florence - Mrs. Everett Bradley Evelyn - Mrs. Jack Carr Ralph - married Vera Rannie Neal - Irene Augustin according to their parents obituaries. I have photos of Lewis and William along with their Powell cousins in Kansas to share, as well as genealogy data. It would be nice to find at least one descendant of this family! I am a descendant of Charles Henry Powell's brother, James. Thanks Gayle in Kansas

POWELL Listers, There were at least three (3) POWELL families in the 1700's in Hampshire County, VA. That is not to say there may not have been a connection prior to Hampshire County, but the three POWELL groups came to Hampshire Co VA (now WV) at different times. My JAMES POWELL and his wife Mary REEDER came from Hunterdon County, NJ after the Revolution, in 1787 (probably with her father, William REEDER) and left there in the 1810's for points west (Montgomery County, OH and Wayne County, IN). They did leave some of their children there in Hampshire, and I understand there are even descendants there today---though none of the POWELL surname. Just wanted to get my POWELL's associated with Hampshire County, VA/WV in this List's Archives.

There were two POWELL families (1700s) in Hampshire/Hardy Co VA (now WV) -- the "other" one came from NJ. I'd have to look up the given name but it seems like it was also Joseph. I know there was much confusion with our line but Wilmer Kerns was able to sort most of them out. He was knowledgeable about the "other" line but didn't have much info on Joseph who md Christen FRY.
