He is probably the same William POWELL who married Sarah Askew 7 March 1833 in IOW. I haven't found any records that would connect William or Sarah with their parents. (That's why I'm planning the trip to IOW.) I descend from their daughter Sarah J., b. 1835, who married Joseph Spencer (from NJ) 17 June 1858 in IOW. William and Sarah's other children: John M., Henry James, Cornelius, Elizabeth, Edwin, and Edy. Ken G.

The Thomas Powell line has a lot of guys named William, Nathaniel and Thomas propagated through the generations....(and females named Elizabeth and Sarah).

Ooops...forgot to ask if you've ever checked for your folks in Rev Fr Silas Emmett Lucas Jr's book, "The Powell Families of Virginia & the South"....might be a worth while resource.
