Jim: I keep receiving these notices, but I have no idea who these markers belong to. How do I find out who the kit number belongs to? I am at a loss as to how knowing the HVR1 and HVR2 have been added will give me information about my Powell line. I know that Roger Powell of my line, and Erle Powell possibly of my line sent their samples in several months ago, but I don't know their kit numbers or if their information has been received. Can you clarify the information so that I will know if any of these are my Powell line?

Hi Jerry, did Roger's DNA Test come in yet, just wondered. Pat (Powell) Springer [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Powell<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 9:07 PM Subject: Re: [POWELL-DNA] Three Centuries of Ballingers in America Ambrose Powell of Cumberland Gap fame was, according to Ted Belue's book, Walker's assistant surveyor from Culpeper County. He had a dog named "Old Tumbler." Later, when the dog was killed by the blow of an Elk hoof, Walker named the spot "Tumbler's Run." Belue writes: "So often did Elisha Walden ten years later see 'A. Powell' -- distorted from a decade's growth -- cut into trees bordering the path that he named the rivulet flowing nearby Powell River." Powell was of tremendous value on the trip as a hunter. Walker reported that in 4 months they killed 13 buffalo, 8 elk, 53 bears, 20 deer, 4 wild geese, 150 turkeys, and much small game. Sometimes the bears hunted back though, as Powell was attacked by a bear which grabbed his leg and cut his knee badly. See Ted Belue, "The Hunters of Kentucky" (Stackpole Books 2003). This Ambrose Powell is perhaps an uncle or cousin of the Ambrose Powell of Burke County NC and Maury County VA, whose descendants have submitted DNA to FTDNA.

Ambrose Powell of Cumberland Gap fame was, according to Ted Belue's book, Walker's assistant surveyor from Culpeper County. He had a dog named "Old Tumbler." Later, when the dog was killed by the blow of an Elk hoof, Walker named the spot "Tumbler's Run." Belue writes: "So often did Elisha Walden ten years later see 'A. Powell' -- distorted from a decade's growth -- cut into trees bordering the path that he named the rivulet flowing nearby Powell River." Powell was of tremendous value on the trip as a hunter. Walker reported that in 4 months they killed 13 buffalo, 8 elk, 53 bears, 20 deer, 4 wild geese, 150 turkeys, and much small game. Sometimes the bears hunted back though, as Powell was attacked by a bear which grabbed his leg and cut his knee badly. See Ted Belue, "The Hunters of Kentucky" (Stackpole Books 2003). This Ambrose Powell is perhaps an uncle or cousin of the Ambrose Powell of Burke County NC and Maury County VA, whose descendants have submitted DNA to FTDNA. He is also probably somehow related to the Honorias Powell branch.
