I have Madison Co., AL connections for the people you name, but I have some differences in dates, etc. Do you have parents for William Howard Pettey (or Petty)? I have ancestors and possible connections for him if we can connect. Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: "A. S.

James Eudora "Dora" Power's father was James Washington Power & his 2nd wife Margaret Catherine Willingham, but that information was sent to me; I didn't do the original research. Also sent to me was that his father was Holloway Power and wife Elizabeth Meals. I probably can't help you since I did not research that Power family, only have what was given me, and the Power family is not mine. "Dora" married 1st my kin, Dr. E. Y. Blount, & after he died in 1891, she md R. L. Patterson, but I haven't had any luck tracing him, although I do not believe Dora & Mr. Patterson had any issue. Thank you for writing. Ruth Fentress A.
