my DAN Results are in ck 85885 skip In a message dated 7/2/2008 8:29:57 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Your point about Powells in the same place and unrelated amazes me as well. Until my dna results came in, I would have bet a lot that we were related -- my forbear Elisha Smith Powell was in McNairy County Tn at the same time as John (g-son of John G) and Elisha's son lived and is buried less than fifty miles from John in Texas. His father Hezakiah is reputed to have the middle name Smith, as does my Elisha. Elisha Smith Powell married a Murry and Murrys and McAlphins were related by marriage. But, dna squelched that "logic": my line is NC-16. All of that "logic" apparently has the same meaning about kinship as our common first name. Oh well.

Interesting point, I have 2 Smith H. Powell's one born in 1814, and one in 1858, both in Lenoir, NC. Both were in the George Powell b. 1789, son of Elias Jr. b. 1854 line. There are also 2 Elijah's and 2 Elisha's in the same line.
