I believe they all stem from the Pennsylvania family of Agness Myers and her husband William Powell. The 1st one I see is their son Myers Powell 1772-1813 who married Mary Polly Castleman 1775-1852. They had a son named Hiram C Powell 1808 - 1894 who had a son named Myers Powell born about 1845. Then there is the Myres Powell in my family tree, great grandson (possibly) of Agness and William Powell, he is Myres J Powell from Beaver PA and was born about 1820, his name is spelled Myres and Myers in different census listings. Myres J. Powell also had a son named Myers Powell born about 1846. There is also a Miers Powell born in PA around 1845 or 1846 that lived in Ohio, Nebraska, and Kansas, all have civil war records but dont say which one belongs to Myres or Hiram, or if they are the same person, and the one with the spelling Mires has a civil war record with 3 wom! en wanting his pension. One is Myers Wellington Powell, some have him as Hiram's son, some have him as Myres J.Powell's son. There is also a Myers J Powell who was married in ontario canada about the same time. Does anyone have good solid info on whom is whom? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
