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.

He died in 1991. On the tape my grandfather tells about the Powell's history. One of these is a story regarding Powellstown or Powell's Town, Alabama. There was a surplus of us there and according to him, most of the family settled and stayed in that area. These Powell's had A LOT of problems with government officials.. Ranging from refusing to move to Oklahoma, horse thievery, murder, etc. (Isn't pretty, but true and all of the "retalations" the family did on surrounding people did not sit well)... Soo, the government did a "sweep." They came in and killed every man, woman and child that were part of these Powell's.. (Think tribal lands not "city" and it seems more feasible) and it was in the late 18th century, early 19th.. A few Powell's got away and fled (those who weren't there) They ran to either Arkansas, Oklahoma or anywhere in between, e.g. Texas. These Powell's that fl! ed, hid in remote mountains and other areas (thus, making it extremely difficult to find and record).. Thomas Powell (My great-great grandfather, Thomas Powell was later murdered---don't know exact circumstances as of yet).. and other members are either murdered, or changed their name and vanished. So, my great-grandfather hid in Oklahoma. You can find him in census' with a name ranging from James, Jimmie, Jinnie, Jimmy, Jinny..etc.. fascinating.. but really, really hard to negotiate a geneology.. sooo, sound familiar?
