My apologies to anyone who has replied to me with another subject in the "subject" line - I sometimes don't get to my messages for days on end, and sometimes only look at the subject line as I prioritize what I'm going to read. Also, my apologies for misleading people on June's "book". She worked on the Powells, etc., for many years and intended to publish her work, but she was taken critically ill with a brain tumor very unexpectedly and did not live long enough to finish what she had started. All of her material is with her daughter, Kathy Armstrong of Cedar Rapids, IA, who has said she does not intend to put it out to the public, but that I am welcome to do so if I wish. The "books" that I have are all Xerox copies bound with a spiral that June did herself. She sent one to me and a couple others to the late Ilene Jones, with whom I was also in correspondence. Ilene had time, before her death, to send me two of those. The other copies, as far as I know, are in the Adair County Library, Adair County, Kentucky. (I have not been able to confirm this.) I am happy to answer any queries as best I can. With regard to Larry's inquiry, p. 18: Jane Powell b 1907 Chapel Hill TN p. 74: same Jane p. 88: Elias Powell Sanders md Elizabeth A. Fletcher, dau of James S. Fletcher and JANE POWELL Fletcher on Apr 1854. p. 102: Jane Powell b 1807 Adair Co, KY P. 104: same as on pg 88 & 102. p. 105: same p. 110: same p. 114: same Those are the only Janes mentioned in June's "Ambrose Powell" book. In that same book, regarding Lynn's query for James b. 1798, there is only one James for which I do not have any dates: James Aubrey Powell md Mary Helen Jones. I looked at the 30 mentioned James (some duplication) in her book and none of the others would have been born near 1798. I do not find any Jane or James in the other books who would be who you are looking for.
