I am doing research for a friend on his Powell line. I have taken his line back to Benjamin Hilliard Powell but I am not able to get any further since I cannot find Benjamin Hilliard Powell's parents. I have located Benjamin Hilliard Powell marrying Jimmie A. "Jan" Jordan 05 January 1850 in Cumberland County, North Carolina. In the 1860 Census they are in Danbury, Stokes County, North Carolina and by 1862 the family is in Surry County, North Carolina. Benjamin Hilliard Powell enlisted in the Civil War (Company E, North Carolina 53rd Infantry Regiment on 30 April 1862) in Surry County. If you can help with this line in any way possible, I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking for his parents for sure and would be happy to know the parents of Jimmie A. "Jan" Jordan as well. And would like to find out names of any and all siblings to Benjamin Powell. Thanks in advance for any help regards, vicki webster ([email protected]) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
