I have copied the following census while working on the Butlers, Powells, and Reardens lately. CENSUS: 1920 Aiken Co, SC, Graniteville PO, Gregg twp, p. 99 hh#83/83 John Powell, head, 58 M W (oiler) at cotton mill, SC SC SC Belle Powell, wife, 48 F W ___ at cotton mill, SC SC SC Joseph Powell, son, 22 M W doffer at cotton mill, SC SC SC Susan Rearden, mother-in-law, 78 F W , SC SC SC Corneila Rearden, aunt, 66 F W, SC SC SC Susan Rearden had a daughter named Isabelle whose dates in census work with the one above. And she is of an age to be the mother of Joseph Powell. But all other info. I have found conflicts with that, and I don't know if I have two Belle's or if this John Powell married twice, and Joseph is the son of first wife. Isabelle is still with her mother in the following census, SINGLE, so she cannot be the mother of Joseph. CENSUS: 1910 Aiken Co, Gregg twp, p. 119B (or 109B) can't read my own writing. Susan Rearden, head F W 67 wd1, 25 10 children/ 8 living, SC SC SC Belle Rearden, dau, 37 F W single, SC SC SC Cornelia Rearden, sister, 59 F W single, SC SC SC Cornelia we figured out was the sister to her Susan Powell Reardens husband, Robert Newton Rearden. Can anyone provide more information on the family of this John Powell. I have about 12, John, John with intial or another name in my files. I haven't gotten them all identified yet. I even have another John with dates off a couple of years, married to another Belle?? 1 John Robert Powell b: Nov 25, 1867 d: May 31, 1946 Burial: Ridge Spring Cemetery, Ridge Spring, Saluda Co, SC .. +Leila Bell Williamson b: Jun 04, 1870 d: Aug 19, 1949 Burial: Ridge Spring Cemetery, Ridge Spring, Saluda Co, SC ..... 2 Olin E.
