Some things I found out: 1. Ambrose's FIRST wife, mother of all his children, was a "Miss" Holt, given name unknown. His second wife was Margaret (Maiden name unknown) KNOX, widow of James Knox of Maury Co., who he married about 1813 after the death of James in about 1812. 2. Elias Powell did not have a middle name "Burke"; this was a transcription error somewhere incorporating Burke from his birth county. There is a group on Yahoo attempting to connect Ambrose with John Powell and Mary O'Neal, but it is still far from certain. (Descendants of John Powell and Mary O'Neal.) I have a tremendous amount of information on Ambrose's descendants. How are you related? (I am descended from his son William.)
