Hi everyone. Listed below is my known ancestry beginning circa 1700s in Wales through my grandfather, born in 1879 in Cincinnati, OH. Any information or suggestions greatly appreciated. Information about all events in Wales (circa 1788-1840) is derived from a family history believed to have been written at or near Cincinnati, Ohio US circa late 19th to early 20th century by sisters Mary and Elizabeth Powell. The family history appears to be based on the sisters' recollection of what they were told of events by their parents or their own recollections. Have found possible parish record matches for marriages listed. Information about U. S. events is from family history and some public records. Family history contains additional information relating to US descendents. ************ Thomas Powell b.? ,Wales d.? , Butler County, Ohio US (emigrated to US after death of his first wife in Wales, preceding his adult sons sometime before circa 1830) First married in Wales (date/parish unknown) to Mary Watkins b. ?, Wales d. ? , Wales Children Thomas Powell (Jr.) b. ?, Breconshire d. ? , At sea enroute to Philadelphia, PA to join adult sons in US circa 1820-1840 John Antrim Powell b.
