(Portroe, Burgesbeg) Ireland, who latter came to Amerca and settled in Osceola, Iowa. Elizabeth's sisters were: A. Temperance who married a Gully from Tipperary (settled in Aurora, Colorado) and Jane who married Jeremiah Hogan (came to America in 1849 via Canada) and settled in North Pueblo, CO. The Powell sisters also had two brothers that came to America with them, George and Thomas. An 1850 Clay County, Indiana census, shows them all living in the same household, while working on the RR. Jeremiah was a carpenter. I believe they were all brothers and sisters of Stephen Powell and Ambrose Kyte Powell, and others, and children of Ambrose Powell. Cyndi Wood who does much research on the Powells has suggested the children of Ambrose Powell (Anglican) married local Catholics. There are many interconnections: 1. Michael Hogan, my gr.gr. grandfather, came to America with his uncle, Jeremiah Hogan and aunt Jane Powell Hogan. Michael married Bridget Meagher daughter of John and Elizabeth Powell Meagher. 2. A. Temperance Powell married Mr. Gully. Their daughter Elizabeth married a DeLaney, their son John married the daughter of Michael and Bridget Hogan. 3. George Powell lived in Pueblo, Colorado and died in 1879 at the home of his sister, Jane. His wife was Ellen (?) and they had several children.
