We have a Joseph POWELL, b abt 1730, place unknown, who turned up in Frederick Co, VA and d 1771 in Hampshire Co, VA (now WV). Don't have a line on any siblings but the names Samuel and Abraham show up prominently among Joseph's descendants. His wife was Christina or Christen FRY, b 1733 - her family had a number of Moravian connections. Most of their 8 children moved on to KY and spread out from there. There seem to have been an unusual number of Dutch and German marriages among them. I descend from #2 son, Samuel who went to Ohio.

To Hannah, Pat (Powell) Springer here..............................I think if I remember right, there is a Joseph Powell in the 1820 or 1830 census of Hall Co. Ga.. Do not know what line he belongs to. Hannah, have researched the John Crawford Powell family, and found out that his parents were possibly William Powell Jr. and Adlaid Crawford, married in Madison Co. Virginia in or around 1760 or after 1770. This info was on a Query on a Powell website, about 10 years ago. Thank you so much for your help, and hope this info about Joseph will help you and someone else.
