John Powell had at least two brothers, a Lewis Powell, who was killed at the battle of Goliad in Mar 1836, and a Wiley Powell, who was my 3rd gr-grandfather.

She married Isaac Baxter Jordan in Monroe Co, AL in 1838. (Elmina is my 2nd gr-grandmother). She married two more times; lastly married to George W Franklin, an attorney who apparently handled various legal affairs of Dorcus, John. and Wiley. > >I am writing most of this by memory from research that I did last year...most of my stuff is currently in storage.
