Surnames: Powell, Conner, Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WOBBAIB/12.48.181.2.1 Message Board Post: There are several Cader/Kader Powells with roots in VA and NC. The best source that I have found for getting them straight is Silas E. Lucas' "Powells of Virginia and the South." There is a great deal of documentation included in this volume. I have the full text of George Powell's will. If you would like me to send it to you, let me know. George Powell was my 5GGrandfather so I have been working on this line for some time. George Powell's brothers were: Lemuel; John and Robert. Mary Powell Ward
