I have a copy of the following deed: John Dunn of Frankling Co., NC to his nephew Seymour Powell and his wife Betty of Sussex Co., VA., dtd 14 Mar 1782. Deed of Gift Wit: Edward Powell Jr. Powell records show Seymour Powell married to an Elizabeth Drury. This fits the name of Betty. I have a Seymour Powell as brother to Edward Powell Jr., and their parents are listed as Edward Powell Sr. and wife Mary, in the Powell book. This is the Edward Powell died before 1798 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. I also show that Drury Dunn married 2 Nov 1782 Martha Powell, in Sussex Co., VA., sister to Seymour and Edward Powell Jr. In the genforum records, there is a John Dunn of NC which had a son named Drury. My question: If John Dunn is Uncle to Seymour Powell, this would make John Dunn brother to mother of Seymour, which is stated as Mary Powell? or in the old records could John had cited himself as Uncle to Seymour as Seymour's sister had married the son of John Dunn, and the importance was on the male of the family? Does anyone know the maiden name of Seymour and Edward Powell Jr.'s, mother? Thanks Ann Corum
