Well, the mystery thickens! Very Interesting! But still can't figure it all out. All I have heard of before is that Mary Unknown was the wife of Anthony Powell. No one seems to know her last name. The last few days everyone has only mentioned that Eleanor is his wife. Could they be one in the same, Mary Eleanor or Eleanor Mary? Does anyone know where this Pleasant T. Powell comes in on the family tree? Dickey, can you give me the rest of the children for Abraham W. and Nancy L. Powell? I would also like more information on Miles Powell. It seems as though there are 2 of those too. One having parents Abraham and Nancy Powell and the other George A. and Elizabeth Kirksey Davis Powell. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks for all of the information and your help in trying to sort it all out.

The "B" was for Byrd. Also there is an Abraham W. Powell, age 42, wife Nancy L. and several children. > > Anthony Powell is in the 1870 Blount census, age 56, b.

George listed as his father in Owens Biography and also on Ken Sims website. > > What we have here are 3-4 Powell family groups in the Blount/Winston/Cullman area of AL. The Abraham W. Powell family, James/Rebecca Powell, my group-James and Mazdy Murphree Powell- and John Byrd Powell, who may be connected to Abraham W. > > It would certainly open up a lot of doors if they could be tied together; they seem to have originally came from the Pendleton Dist.
