Maybe he took the mother's maiden name. I have not seen that name as a first name - Yet! 1771 Chatham Co. was established from Orange County so you may look in Orange County. I know there were Powells in Orange County. That is why I try to pinpoint where they lived on a map, or the general area because as county lines changed.....even if they did not move....10 years later they can be in another county. Since many lived on waterways it is not too difficult. I see his wife is Permilia Frances Randall and try looking to see where she came from....they had to meet somewhere! Look up his service in the Union Army and it should give his enlistment place. I don't think you can do but so much on the internet, leads mostly, you will probably need to go and research and usually the folks are pretty good about helping. I have been to the State Archives in Tennessee and one of the most helpful I have been in.

McNeal Powell m. Parmelia Frances Randall 1 Sep 1834 in Fayette Co. TN. She was b. abt 1819 in Alabama. I have done some research on her family without much luck. I probably need to go after them again. She actually is McNeal's second wife. He m. first Jane Bryan 25 Aug 1831. I have found no record of children from this marriage. I have his civil war military and pension records, plus a family history written by a grandaughter. I'm not sure when or where he was born. I keep an eye on anything that relates to the Powells in Chatham Co. since he said that is where he was born (at least once, his kids all say on the 1880 census that he was b. in TN.) No one researching those Powells recognizes him. Thanks for you suggestions. Jan On Thursday 10 February 2005 12:48 pm, Arcell Sawyer wrote: > Maybe he took the mother's maiden name.
