Don't have too much direct info on the Schuylkill County Powells, other than their parents (Thomas and Elizabeth -- eventually came to US and settled with them; Thomas died at sea; mother to Port Carbon). Not sue if any connect with the Scranton Watkin Powell -- considering both names are too common for Welsh immigrants. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
