Hi Ron,I was looking on Ancestry and saw the same thing you did. Do you know if Dickey ever replyed to your first email regarding Rachel Powell, with Josiah Murphy living next door?This looks to me like a family we should be looking for a DNA donor for if it isn't already in the project. TTYL~Diane

I did note that Josiah Murphy was living next door to Rachell. I have placed messages on different list-serves, hoping that a descendant of the Lowndes county Powells would emerge. Interestingly, I have a potential contact point with a descendant of a Sam Powell who was also living in Lowndes county. Another contemporaneous Powell was Allen Powell (VA 1791), died in Hayneville, AL in 1873, with several children (and 22 slaves).

Not sure if I can help or not .... way back in the 1980's I was in contact with family of Allen Powell (1791-) in AL Lowndes County and I still have the info that she gave me .... I don't know if it is more than what you already know ... They came from Wake County, North Carolina. ----- Original Message ----- From: "powbak" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 1:02 PM Subject: Re: [POWELL-DNA] Help!
