William DID have a son William, Jr., b 1805 Adair Co, d 1860 Adair, who md Nancy HOLT. Nicholas also had a William Basset Powell b Apr 1831/33 Adair Co KY. He lived with his parents in the 1850 & 1860 censuses and next door to his parents with Martha E. CONOVER household in 1870 census. William Basset remained single. This William Basset was probably born after Ambrose of Maury's death. > ************************** > Noticed on the Court Document I have about the Law Suit, a Nicholas Powell > is the Defendants Grandson from the state of Ky., Oliver Powell is the > Defendants Grandson also from Ky., Polly Powell Def.
