Hi Marge Campbell, You wrote that you have a Powell line in Chester Co, PA. Does that line have any "William"s born around 1775-85? I'm looking for a William Powell who served in the War of 1812. His enlistment papers say he was born in Pennsylvania. He enlisted at Charlestown, VA and lived in Loudoun Co, VA. His wife's name was Mary (..?..) and his children were Levin b. 1807, Colvin b. 1809 and Mary Ann b. 1811. He died in Genesee Co, NY in Oct 1813 while serving with the 12th Inf Reg, US Troops. By 1829 all 3 children were living in Belmont Co, OH . . . .where they all married. Sure hope this info matches with your line . . . .or someone's! Regards, Merna McClenathen

My ancestor is James POWELL born 1772 in Wales, he married Mary Moore in about 1800 and they later emigrated to America with 3 or 4 children. I believe they lived in Pennsylvania during the early 1800s and by 1822 this family had settled in Richland county Ohio and developed their farm. James was said to have been an ardent Whig, he raised his family in the Christian faith and was a successful and good man. James died Nov 28, 1858. Mary and James had eleven children of which Margaret is my gg-grandmother. She married Jessie Huston in 1831. The other children are: Matilda, Nancy, William, John, Abner, James, Jane, Myers, David and Mary. Names of their spouse include Terman, Cline, McConaghy, Modi, and Schumaker. If you see any possible connection please contact me GWgenie@alltel.net Happy hunting!
