The paper trail research would have Thomas the son of Robert and Sarah Powell however, DNA has Thomas Jefferson Powell not even a Powell. There has been an adoption somewhere. I am thinking Thomas Jefferson was adopted by Robert and Sarah, but not sure. Have you done any DNA testing? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
