Philip Powell, born Lancaster, PA.(1743-1821), was my 5th great grandfather. He was father of Peter Powell (1777-1863) my 4th great. He was father of Philip Powell (1809-1866) my 3rd great and who is the brother of your Henry. Philip was the father of Peter H Powell (1838-1921) my 2nd great. He was the father of Simon Joshua (1867-1912) my 1st great. He was the father of Burton Howard (1896-1954) my grandfather. He was the father of Eldon Eugene (1926-living) my father, who lives in Seneca County, OH. I, Donald Scott, was born in 1959 and now live in Alaska. I have a son, Scott Wilson, born in 2007. I submitted a DNA test to Ancestry.com but did not find the results very useful for my Powell lineage. I have just joined the Powell DNA Project on FamilyTreeDNA.com. I am hoping the test will help answer some questions with our Wales connection. The info before Philip (1743-1821) is sketchy, and ! I'm not convinced that his grandfather, William, was one of the Five Powell Brothers who came to America in 1685. I'll let you know if I find out anything useful. - Don Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
