Powell, who was in the Marengo and Wilcox County Alabama areas in the early 1800s. His daughter Margaret married Francis Bridges. I don't know anything about his wife, his parents, or what happened to him. It appears that he may have been predeceased by his wife and that he died while the children were still young. I have a theory that his wife might have been a daughter of Arthur J. Kimbrell, because probate records indicate that Arthur Kimbrell took the children in.
