Powell-DNA List members (Tamara and Pat), A constructive suggest, if I may, on your recent posting. Some kind of time frame and/or approximate dates would be extremely helpful on your recent posting. In the published Oglethorpe County, Georgia, marriage records, I found in a quick search from my personal library of printed books, an interesting marriage for a Drewry Powell to a Nancy Dunn on February 7, 1815. Probably listed on familysearch.org site was well. In whichDepending on the time frame and the section of the county in which they lived, at one time or another, any resident might be found any of the adjoining counties. There are about six Powell marriages listed. On 1850 census there is only one Powell household of all women, no men. I am originally from Georgia; my mother was from adjoining Greene County, Georgia. All her lines were in this area of Georgia back to right after the American Revolution. Hence, I have collected copies of some, but not all, books printed on Oglethorpe County. These people might have started out in Wilkes County early then been cut from there to Lincoln on the east or Greene on the south and then into Taliaferro c. 1826. Or any of the other bordering counties. Then Greene and Oglethorpe swapped some land areas. So search the whole general area if you have not yet pinpointed their general location. My Powell line is back in Stafford County, Virginia, where a William Powell and wife, Amey(spelling) _?_ have a son that died c. 1714. I am looking for his origins. My line "daughters out" c. 1755 when their daughter Amey marries Anthony Buckner Thomas. He dies as Anthony Buckner c. 1780 in Halifax County, Virginia. His daughter Winifred/Winnie marries John (son of Francis and Rachel _?_)Edmonds(various spellings) before 1776 in Halifax County, Virginia. The Edmonds migrated to Wilkes County c. 1785 in the general rush to new settlers for land in the area after the Revolutions War. I live in East Texas and I have met our illustrious Jim Barrett who is the "keeper" of all things Powell. Hope this suggest helps. Vivian Cates, "Mound Prairie".
