Powells I am still searching - Seymour Powell father of Thomas Powell surgeon . All from York Co in the period of 1700 - 1776. Seymour appears to have married Lucy Moss, widow of Benjamin Moss sometime after 1739. Seymour and Lucy had the following children: Thomas Powell, surgeon who married Eliz. Digges and they moved to Fredericksburg in 1776; John Powell, surgeon last seen in 1772; and Lucy Powell who married Thomas Roberts and they remained in York Co. Lucy Moss Powell deeds land to son Thomas in 1767, to son John in 1772 and includes her Roberts grandchildren in her will of 1784. She references her brother in law Benjamin Powell in deed of 1767. This Benjamin Powell was the carpenter who was prominent in York Co beginning in 1750s. When married to Benj Moss, Lucy had a son named William Moss and was carrying at the time of her husband, Benj's death, another child later named Benjamin. The estate settlement and ultimate chancery suit regarding this William Moss, revealed that he was a 1/2 brother to Thomas, John and Lucy.
