I, too, have the Cotton name in my Powell lineage. Alexander Spotswood Cotton Powell was born in Georgia in 1807, son of Alexander and Dorcas DeBerry Powell. Alexander and Dorcas were born in Hertford Co., NC and Hampton Co,NC, respectively. Alexander's mother was Alse Cotton. I have always thought Alexander Spotswood Cotton Powell was an interesting name. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arcell Sawyer" <searching3@nc.rr.com> To: <POWELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 11:22 PM Subject: Re: [POWELL] Re:Duplin Carteret and Bertie County, N.
