Ellen, do you have any Hezekiahs? Our William Hezekiah was born in Walker County (TX or GA or ???) in l874. We can trace him to 1910, but no further back. We know that he was married in 1896, but cannot locate him on the 1900 or 1890 TX census rolls. If anyone out there has a clue for us, please let us know. Thanks for any help.

My Virginia Powells used the name Hezekiah but they were 100 years before your guy! -----Original Message----- From: B.A. Reeves [mailto:vteach@worldnet.att.net] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 11:27 PM To: POWELL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [POWELL] ASK & ANSWER QUESTIONS SOME ONE KNOWS Ellen, do you have any Hezekiahs?

Don't know of any Hezekiah POWELLs.. My folks got as far as Ohio but some cousins continued it all the way to Oregon in the mid 1800s. None in the South that I know about. Sorry I can't help.

Ellen, Are you part of the Calvin Powell line that came on out to Oregon in the 1850's? Calvin Powell's line traces on back to a Rowland Powell in MA during the mid 1600's.
