My William Wade Powell (my grandfather) was born in 1884, Meigs Co., OH. So far I haven't come across any more William Powells in my line. While we're throwing out Powell names here, my grandfather's brother was Arthur Hallam (Uncle Hal) Powell, born abt. 1881 in OH. According to the US census, he lived in Pike County, OH in 1900, Maryland in 1910, and PA in 1920 and 1930. I've now hit the proverbial brick wall. Any chance that Arthur "Uncle Hal" Hallam Powell rings a bell for anyone on the Powell list? Thanks, Marge Campbell
