Hello Listers, I'm looking for parentage of a William POWELL b. ca 1770-80 in PA (according to War of 1812 enlistment info). He married Mary (Surname Unk) and they had at least 3 children: Levin b. 1807, Colvin b. 1809 and Mary Ann b. 1811. The children were all b. VA, probably Loudoun Co. William died of disease in 1813 in NY while in Federal Service (12th Inf Reg) during the War of 1812. Mary didn't appear to re-marry as she was still Mary Powell in 1818 when she apprenticed her 2 boys in Loudoun Co. By 1829 Colvin was in Belmont Co, OH where he married Eleanor BALL of MD. His brother Levin married Mahala WHALEY in 1830, also Belmont Co. In 1832 Mary Ann married George NICHOLS . . .again in Belmont Co, OH. Finding the parents of William POWELL has been a major brick wall and any help (or clues) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Merna in California
