Linda, I took the time yesterday to work on some of the census info. that you sent me, going to the microfilm of the original. This morning I have been working to see if I could fit the pieces together with the info. that has Onor married to Mansfield and then has her as the aunt of Walker Powell per your info. from 1920 census. I did not get to the 1920 census, but did find them in the 1910 census included in the following 'discussion' that I have entered in my notes for Honor Deane. I am also posting the info. to the various lists. There are some active Powell researchers out there, and hopefully they can help. Billie ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Linda Goetz sent me previously unknown information that Mansfield Dean, brother of my gg-grandmother Lina Dean Coursey, had remarried to an Onor ? after the death of his 1st wife, Sarah Styron, Sept 12, 1888. Based on census records showing the length of this 2nd marriage in 1910, they married almost immediately after her death. I am seeking informaton on her, to prove her surname and to figure out how she is connected as an aunt to the Withers Wesley Powell with whom she is living in 1910 and 1920. Hope someone out there can help. Descendants of Mansfield F. Dean 1 Mansfield F.

DEAN: . +Honora [?] b: Abt. 1848 in SC In trying to determine who this second wife of Mansfield Dean was, I found the following census records that seems to indicate that she might be Honor WALKER: There are 22 Walker families in the 1860 Edgefield Co. census book I have - None of them seemed to work with the later info. Since they later show up in Aiken, they may have been in Barnwell Co. in 1860, as Barnwell gave up its northern end along with southern Edgefield Dist, to become Aiken in 1871.

The Walker Powell, grandson of 1880, works to be the Withers W. Powell of 1910 (Langley, Aiken Co, p. 191B hh 28/12/12 and the Walker Powell of the 1920 census (Langley, Aiken Co, p. 208, 538, sheet 12A) who names Honora Deane as his aunt. She would be the sister of one of his parents and he would then be the grandson of the mother of Honor Walker (jr), in this case Honor Walker(sr), thus matching the census relationships. But who are his parents?? Since he is less than 10, he will not show up with parents in earlier census records. CENSUS: 1910 Aiken Co, SC, p. 191, hh#28/12/12, Main Street, Langley,SC [per microfilm of original) Withers W.

According to Linda Goeta, she is listed in the 1920 census (Langley, Aiken Co, p. 208, 538, sheet 12A) with Walter Powell who names Honora Deane as his aunt. I ran out of time at the archives yesterday to check that one out. Nor did I get a chance to check on his death cert. to see if he died before 1952. I don't have Aiken Co. cem. records here at home to check either. Any help on this group of folks would be appreciated. Just post to the list and Linda and I, along with all those Powell folk with get the info. Billie Jones Camden, SC [email protected]
