Peter Powers born 1765 from Grayson/Wythe was in Russell VA 1803 through 1829 then moved his family to Washington VA where portions remained thru early 1900's. I strongly supsect that Isabell Powers was an unidentified daughter in Peter's pre 1850 household but have no absolute or documented proof. Peter's children did move to Pike/Floyd KY and his grandchildren to Johnson KY after 1850. We also find Thomas Welch of NC next to John Honaker and granddaughter Lucinda Powers in the 1850 Russell VA census. Janet Powers Maune

I think you nailed it!!! Thanks so much! Isabel and James lived in Paintsville , Ky. He passed away around 1850 and she married Vincent Spears who was a widower with several children. It has been a difficult time trying to find any of her people. I think they moved to Floyd Co. Ky. after their marriage. Any other Powers or Welch out there who need or have any information we can share?
