I have watched this list for a long time & on occasion an Andrew J. Powell shows up. I too have an Andrew J. Powell. he is b. in either Ill. or IN. or MI. depending on the lines drawn. in 1850 he is 21 & in Grant Co. WI.closer to the Iowa border. he is with his mother, Susannah Powell & siblings. the older ones are married. he also has a Taylor niece in the home. at one time WI. was a rather large territory. he is no longer in the census of 1860, nor in a territorial census.of course I have never found out WHO his father is either. one of the daughters says his name is John Powell. the mother is 47 years old in 1850 making her b. 1803. her birth place is listed as SC. I have posted several times but come up with nothing on him. here's hoping!!..........Jo Ann Loghry
