Hey, I am new to this board. My name is Missy and I am researching my Powell family. Lovely Abraham Powell was my ggg grandfather. I am looking for any information. I am looking forward to corresponding with other people doing Powell research..who knows I might find a long lost cousin. :) Missy
Hi Missy....welcome aboard! It would help lots if you would give a location of where your Powells lived, or where they came from. That is...if you know. Also, a time frame or dates they lived. I also have Powells in my family who came down from Virginia to settle in the Edgefield district of S.C. Good luck in your research. And when you get discouraged, don't give up. Give it a rest and then go at it again. The reward is priceless !! Mike Researching......SAWYER/HALSTEAD/GRIFFIN/WILKES/HOWELL/LIGHTSEY/ZEIGLER and ABRAMS/POWELL/BLEDSOE/HOLMES/HILL.....
My Powell's were also from the Edgefield District, SC around 1780 to about 1806 when they moved to Georgia. I suspect they migrated from Virginia, but as of now I do not have any proof.
