You can find reference to the prison record in a book that has a title similar to this: "The Black Book of Georgia." I don't recall the exact title of the book but have seen the book at local libraries. Sorry, can't be of more help. Birdcro

I'm looking for family of William Powell in 1860/70 MO. I'm in need of information on his daughter, Jane Powell, who married Elihu Hodge on 6/13/1875 in Cape Girardeau Co., MO. (rumor is that Jane was young, 15 or 16 when she married.) I believe that Jane was born in KY ca 1855-1860 but haven't been able to find her there. I do not have Jane's mother's name or siblings. I've just started tracing Jane so any information would be greatly appreciated. Ken

Hello, Don't know if someone is looking for my address - I am Joan Powell from Queensland. jopo@burnett.net.au Regards, Joan

Hi Daryl I descend from two distinctly separate Powell families. One of which settled in London Twp Middlesex Co. and the other in Eastern Ontario. Several of my ancestors moved to Nissouri and Zora townships which straddle the Middlesex/Oxford County line. One never really knows who and where some people ended up. Thats what makes this hobby so interesting. I have several "Mary Jane" and a couple of "Jane" ancestors; none of which match your information. You may want to contact the Oxford County Library in Woodstock. Oxford County Library E-mail Address(es): rosemary@ocl.net I'm not sure how current the above address is as I've not used it for some time. If you contact them ask if the Woodstock Branch of the Ontario Genealogy Society has an email address. They are physically located next to each other in Woodstock.

I am trying to trace my gg-grandmother's family in Ontario. Mary Jane Powell (also known as Jane) was born on March 29, 1834 somewhere in Ontario. She married James Paulin on April 5, 1853 near Woodstock, Ontario and she died on November 27, 1906 in Wroxeter, Huron County, Ontario. I am trying to find out where she was born and anything at all about her parents, siblings, etc. So far this has been my brickwall! Thanks, Daryl

Joan SMITHIER (c1608-1661) was probably born in London, England. Father's name was said to be John SMITHIER. Her first husband was ____POWELL . He must have died quite young because she married (abt 1628) John CUSTIS (1592-1684). CUSTIS was born in England but apparently spent most of his life in Rotterdam, Holland, where he operated a hotel/inn which was favored by Puritans who had fled England. At least 3 of their children went to America. The CUSTIS Family of Virginia is well known. Do any of you have a clue as to who Joan's (maybe, Jane) SMITHIER's first husband could be?

There was a gentleman requesting the e-mail address of Joan the first part of the week. I just recieved a message from her The address is <gunnlass@bellsouth.net> I hope this helps. Her cousin Shirley

I have a copy of the following deed: John Dunn of Frankling Co., NC to his nephew Seymour Powell and his wife Betty of Sussex Co., VA., dtd 14 Mar 1782. Deed of Gift Wit: Edward Powell Jr. Powell records show Seymour Powell married to an Elizabeth Drury. This fits the name of Betty. I have a Seymour Powell as brother to Edward Powell Jr., and their parents are listed as Edward Powell Sr. and wife Mary, in the Powell book. This is the Edward Powell died before 1798 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. I also show that Drury Dunn married 2 Nov 1782 Martha Powell, in Sussex Co., VA., sister to Seymour and Edward Powell Jr. In the genforum records, there is a John Dunn of NC which had a son named Drury. My question: If John Dunn is Uncle to Seymour Powell, this would make John Dunn brother to mother of Seymour, which is stated as Mary Powell? or in the old records could John had cited himself as Uncle to Seymour as Seymour's sister had married the son of John Dunn, and the importance was on the male of the family? Does anyone know the maiden name of Seymour and Edward Powell Jr.'s, mother? Thanks Ann Corum

Jim, thanks for the tip. Had e-talked with the AHGS person from Hall County and did get some info on one of his daughters but never could get anything on them. Things got very vague, very quick! Will try the library and thanks again. Carolyn

Carolyn, Have you tried contacting the public library in Gainesville? They have the newspaper on microfilm and I believe they are able to do limited look ups.

My Powell's were also from the Edgefield District, SC around 1780 to about 1806 when they moved to Georgia. I suspect they migrated from Virginia, but as of now I do not have any proof.
