"No, it's not snowing here!" (-: My grandfather, John Anderson POWERS was born in Belton, TX in 1864. My grandmother, Victoria (Fulcher) POWERS was born in Holland? TX in 1878. John's siblings were Mary, Sallie, Tom (Teak), and Hudson (Hut) POWERS. Victoria's siblings were Clara, Jane, Buddy, Maude (m Amos SAULS), Wiley, Mary, Marguerite, Troy, Elonora, John, Gertrude, Roxie, and Alonzo FULCHER. It appears that every African-American POWERS, SAULS, and FULCHER in and around the Bell Co. area, are related to me. Although I am working to identify the descendants of the above mentioned gr Aunts and gr Uncles, I am more interested in obtaining more information on my gr grand parents, Thredric POWERS with wife Tennie? and George FULCHER with wife Margaret Ann MATTHIS. If anyone ever comes across these names in wills, property lists, etc. I would be grateful if you'd pass along the info.
