Hi Lee, Many thanks for replying - Do any Listers know of Atherton Peter POWELL? - was the marriage in USA I wonder? Any leads gratefully received. Regards, Madalyn Previous Thread: From: Lee Powell I could find nothing in my books, however, I did a google on Atherton and found NICOLE ETIENNE AND ATHERTON PETER POWELL were getting married on Feb. 20th, 2005. -----Original Message----- From: howandmad@talk21.com Am tracing the line of Richard POWELL (1732 - 1794) and his wife Elizabeth COTTRELL in England - their sons Samuel POWELL (1760 - 1834 who married Frances RICHMOND) and John Folliott POWELL (1771 - 1839 who married Frances ARMETT ) had 19 children between them - many of their descendents were given, as forenames, the maiden surnames of female ancestors who had married into this large and distinguished family which today is global. I am looking to extend my searches outside England and wondered if anyone might have an Atherton POWELL or a Folliott POWELL in their tree that might connect? - would love to hear and exchange info.
