Pa Allegheny ward 3 There is a William Swindel age 36 with son Walter age 7 and five pages apart is a John Powell wife Elizabeth with children Alice 13, Adela 6 , Maud 4 and Mary 1. In 1860 this same John had a son James C. age 7/12 died bef 1870. I believe this is probably your Powell.Mary is only one but back then people seemed to get birth year confused quite often.Good luck Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
