Hi Lee Powell, Thank you very much for this information. I had actually read this file two days ago. This is not my line that I have been able to tell. There is a statement in this file that I have read elsewhere: "In 1685, there were five Powell brothers who came to the English Colonies in America from Brecon, Wales, stopping first in New Jersey. One of the brothers remained in New Jersey and married a German woman and had twenty-one children, twenty sons and one daughter. The other brothers scattered, one went to Ohio, one to Pennsylvania and two went to Virginia." My line is the family that went to Pennsylvania and seems to be very difficult to trace. =========================================================================== Lee Powell <leep57@triad.rr.com> wrote: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/e/e/Sylvia-See-AB/FILE/0075page .html?=&w=&Welcome=1054316014 Some of the old Welsh names associated with the Powell line are listed here on Page 7. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of cljuker@yahoo.com Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 1:13 AM To: POWELL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [POWELL] Powell Ancestors in Wales This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
