Hi Hannah & Arcell, Thanks for the Powell info. I still think Moses Powell is my line but just don't know which of his sons ( Cader b c 1750 or Lewis bc 1758). They both would fit but I'm leaning toward Cader. I really need to do some research at the Dallas library. Hannah, I found this in my notes - Lewis Powell ( George, John, Richard) b 1720 -25 Bertie co NC d aft 1790 prob Robeson co NC m Rebecca Field issues: 1 Lewis Powell Jr 2 Joseph Powell 3 Cader Powell Source: Lucas book If Moses Powell b c1725 -30 is my line, I'm looking forward to researching his wife's family (Mary Williams). This Williams family left a good paper trail. Ruth in Tx
