Hi Mary ...... Would it be possible for you to post the text of George Powell's will? He is also in my line of Powells and I have always wondered how it was worded. Did he have any daughters? Did he have any other heirs? What are other names there and property descriptions. As his boys moved south they appear to have left as children with other families. Maybe the verbage of the Will gives clues to that....
