Marianne, I am very interested in finding the book you mentioned on Fauquier County. I have relatives that were from Culpepper, and Fauquier but have not had the opportunity to research that area. I am researching Joab B. Powell and John Powell his son we were from South Carolina.

This source deals with Dr. Philip Slaughter's History of St. Mark's Parish, and has a number of POWELLs listed, mostly Ambrose POWELL. I will list the references below (Note - I have capitalized the surnames), however, I do not think it proper to type the whole reference, as this book is currently available for purchase. I will gladly look up any name(s) or supply information on how to purchase a copy. > > Page 15 - "1762. Sept. 1st. Wm. POLLARD was elected clerk of the Lower Church. An order of Bromfield Parish being exhibited by Ambrose POWELL and Martin NALLE, gentlemen of the vestry of said parish, to join them in the division of the two parishes, it is ordered that the same lie for the further consideration of the vestry. From this entry it would seem that although the two parishes had been separated for ten years, the parish lines had not been run. Dec. 18th, 1762, at a vestry at Little Fork Church the usual routine business was gone through, and Henry Field and Benjamin ROBERTS made churchwardens for the ensuing year." > > Page 35 - "We know the names of at least two of the old vestrymen of Bromfield, Martin NALLE and Ambrose POWELL, who in 1754 negotiated with the vestry of St. Mark's about running the dividing line between the old and the new parish. Henry FIELD and Philip CLAYTON had been ordered in 1752 to attend the surveyor in running these lines. The courses threw 'Tennant's Church' and the church in the Fork of Devil's Run and to Hazel River into Bromfield Parish..." > > Page 66 - [From Chapter titled GENEALOGIES of Some of the Old Vestrymen and Communicants of St. Mark's Parish - GREEN Family] "Austin GREEN (s/o Jas., Robt.) m.
