It is my hope that someone might have knowledge of guardianship papers for Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell in either Halifax Co. VA or Oglethorpe Co. GA or a Will of a William Powell naming a daughter, Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell. I have the following for Oglethorpe Co., Ga "Oglethorpe County, Georgia Abstracts of Wills 1794-1903" "Oglethorpe County, Georgia Inferior and Ordinary Court Records 1794-1920, Volume 1" The only thing in either book is the will of Smith Johnson: 13 Dec 1803 recorded 7 Jan 1806 I give and bequeath unto my son John Johnson, etc I give and bequeath to my son Minor W. S. Johnson, etc I give and bequeath unto my granddaughter, Elizabeth W. Traylor, etc I give and bequeath to my granddaughter, Sally W. Powell, etc I give and bequeath to my granddaughter, Margaret Johnson, etc Exr: Minor W. S. Johnson Wit: Bird Parks, Charles Hay, Tob Hay, Henry Lumpkin, Mathew Rainey, Samuel Sheet Do you know who are the parents of the Sally W. Powell? Ann Corum

Ann, Thank you for the info from Oglethorpe Co. GA. I have looked at most of the Court Records in Oglethorpe Co. between 1800-1820 and have not found anything of interest for my Elizabeth (Betsey) Powell. I did find quite a bit of info for the other Powell families who came from VA. The Sally Powell named in Smith Johnson's Will dated 13 Dec 1803 and recorded 7 Jan 1806 in Oglethorpe Co. GA is the same person that married: David Powell Jr. and Sarah Winn Smith Johnson married 17 Jan 1791 in Halifax Co. VA. David Powell Jr. was likely the son of David Powell who was the son of Edward & Elizabeth Powell of Halifax Co. VA. Edward Powell's Will is dated of Halifax Co. VA. dated 1 Jul 1766 and recorded at Halifax Co. Court 16 Sep 1773. The Will of Moses Johnson states he was the son of Smith and Margaret Winn Johnson of Halifax Co VA. Moses names his daughter: Sally (Sarah) Winn Smith Johnson and his son, Benjamin Smith Johnson. *Will Book 1 1773-1783 Halifax Co VA (Chiarito); p. 92; p. 381; Moses Johnson; Will dated 17 Oct 1781; wife, Susannah; dau., Sally Smith Johnson; son, Benjamin Smith Johnson; Exr.."my well beloved father Smith Johnson". signed: Moses (x) Johnson The 1850 Copiah Co MS Census has 2 of David and Sarah W. S. Johnson Powell Jr.'s children. I have more documentation that Johnson Powell and Susanna (Anna) Powell Carter were the children of David and Sarah W.S. Johnson. There are no records to prove that Johnson Powell married and it is believed that he did not have any descendants. *p. 229 B Copiah Co MS: #295 Johnson Powell 47 yrs. Planter VA Thomas Carter 75 yrs. VA " Anna" Carter 52 yrs. b. VA Johnson Powell was more likely than not born in Halifax Co VA and the 1850 census states that Susanna (Anna) Winn Powell Carter was born in VA, also. Susanna (Anna) more likely than not married Thomas Carter in Halifax Co. VA.
