Hi all, I had a family of Powers arrive near Rugby Grayson VA apx 1778 and I still have a list of unknown wives from this era: The family was associated with the German settlements and churches of Elk Creek and Cripple Creek...VA, and especiall Reven George Keith died 1803. David Powers born apx 1740 lived in Wallen's bottom and apparently died 1780 thur 1790 with wife Mary Unknown. George Powers born 1762 lived on Cripple Creek in Wythe with Elizabeth/Ernestina unknown until 1809. Peter Powers born 1765 lived on Turkey Fork branch of Elk Creek with wife Elizabeth unknown until 1803 and migrated to Russell VA. His grandson Jefferson Powers born apx 1806 married a Mahala Unknown born Wythe VA... John Powers born apx 1785 married Elizabeth Kinser d/o Walter Kinser and moved to Russell VA.. Valentine Powers married Elizabeth Staley d/o Jacob Staley and migrated to Montgomery TN apx 1814... Maria Magdalena Powers married William Walters of Wythe and they lived out their lives there... Anna Maria Powers married Henry Newman 1794 and nothing more is know of this family after some baptisms in 1810.... Joseph Powers married Elizabeth Welch and settled in Ashe NC. Neighbors were Thomas Comer, Rectors, and the family was associated with Hudson/Porters/Kirks... If anyone is missing an Elizabeth from this era or find any reference to Powers/Bowers, I would appreciate hearing from therm... Thankyou Janet Powers Maune
