    3. Do any of you know the children of Samuel POWELL (b abt 1700, from Shropshire, England) and his wife, Martha? They came to America in 1742 along with his brother Rev. Joseph POWELL (1711-1774) and his wife, Martha PRICHETT. They settled in Bethlehem, PA, and were known as the "English Moravians". Samuel operated the book store -- probably the oldest continuous one in existance. Both men were evidently well educated and active in the Moravian community but little seems to be known about Samuel's family life. Any info would be welcomed. Ellen
