terrific idea, chris just a suggestion perhaps, it would also be helpful to put the state where the people were, or may have been, born and died i.e.(SC-AL) Chris, Thanks for your work on this; please continue to share your observations and conclusions as the data is collected.

My father, Billy Gene Powell (1949) dna, born in California (Parents are both from Oklahoma) Kit #N63296 Billy (Bill) was Hanford Powell's son. Hanford had two biological children, Jimmie (female) and Billy Powell. He adopted four more children... His father, Jimmie or James Powell had several children from two different wives, those are Willie, Hanford, Jesse, Edna, Cecil, Elise and more.... His father Thomas had Billy and Jimmie. P.S. The name Billy, Jimmie, James, and Thomas are repeated continually.. and usually their middle names are Gene, Eugene, G. And.. my father says, that to throw people off they always named their first born boys anything ending in IE or Y. (Helps the confused madness). My Grandfather said on his tapes that there was a Stuart that came over to US from England/Scotland and married a Native, changing his name to Powell.. that's were the Powell begins (don't really know why Powell.. ?) It's said that his son, had a Native name and the soldiers (native english speakers) couldn't pronounce his name and therefore called him Billy Powell (Don't know exact root of that).. And from there.. my great-grandfathers continued to marry either Natives or Blacks.. (Stuarts son was a half breed and not allowed to marry a white person, therefore continued to marry within his mother's race).... Billy Powell's son was said to be from his second wife, a freed slave. That is all oral recording from my Grandfather.. and I have yet to substantiate it... I got a hold of book about Billy Powell's geneology and hopefully will see what I can make of it... :) Thanks, Jessica ~Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?~ ****When I give food to the poor they call me a saint.

One of my cousins in Oklahoma has been working on a genealogy through ancestry.com.. Her's is "Jesse Powell." She has a lot of pictures of different Powell's, and their grandparents. She has a picture of Thomas Powell on there. I also have one on the ancestry site, "Powell Family Tree." It's less complete than my cousins. However, I've been roaming through census data, social security index etc. to find them. So attached to most of my people are their historical records.. which may help some one else, because the census data usually lists all the people in the household. Thanks for the info on Thomas.. I hadn't seen that census.. and now I have to work with an F.C. Powell.. agh. : ) Thanks again, Jessica P.S.

Jessica, Where was Powelltown? I have never heard of Powelltown in Lawrence county. Was your grandfather an indian? Otherwise, why was he going to Oklahoma. I knew a Eugene Powell who was married to Mae McNeese. They are both dead. He was married before marrying Mae. She was a nurse and had one daughter who died a few years ago. We called Eugene "Gene" and he had a son named Milton Powell. Mae worked for my uncle who was a doctor and owned a hospital for many years. There were lots of Powell's in Blount county and Winston county Al. They came here from Georgia in the late 1800's. They lived in the same communities. The Gene Powell that I knew moved here from Tn. He had a farm in Limestone cty. That is just a short distance from where I live in Morgan cty. The Lacon area is know as a Powell community but there was not anyone murdered or ever had to leave where they lived. They lived there since the late 1800's.

Ron, This may be a shot in the dark but here goes. The kit #111772 is listed as AL-8 however the Powell we are researching goes to SC. The shot in the dark is that we know from the 1850 census and later that our ggrandfather came from SC, however, we have no name or location for the gggrandfather, who is listed as coming from Ireland and marries a woman from VA. We believe that they settled somewhere in the Piedmont area. That is it.
