Does that line > have any "William"s born around 1775-85? Hi Merna, No, I'm sorry to say the only William in my direct Powell line would have been my grandfather, William Wade Powell, b. 1884. Who knows, though, your William may be a cousin. Around the dates you mentioned, 1775-85, the male Powells I have are David, Jeptha, Jehu, Jacob, Esau, Josiah, James and Benjamin - all born in PA. It was David who eventually moved to Ohio. Hang in there, maybe one of these days we'll find our kin. Marge Campbell
