I'm not sure what you mean about "where did she come from" in reference to Susannah POWELL. The 1850 and 1860 censuses, taken together, seem to indicate she came from South Carolina. Is the following information about Mahala correct and complete? Mahala Taylor daughter of UNK father and UNK mother granddaughter of Susanna MNU Powell 1846-1847 born in WI (per 1850 & 1860 censuses); born in Jay IND. per SOURCE? 1850 US Census WI Grant Dist24 p31 1860 US Census WI Grant Boscobel p15) 1865 listed in grandmother Susannah POWELL's will Has Helen checked in Holford's 1900 History of Grant County to see if there's anything revealing about the POWELLs and TAYLORs? What about church records? Any idea from anyone's death or burial records what church they might have attended? ========================== Mary Thiele Fobian Genealogical & Historical Research Pacific Grove, California

Mary, I tried to reply to you but they ended up in my drafts as the computer went wacky on me BUT I will get back. on the 1850 census I do believe somewhere there it says Jay Ind.for Mahala Taylor, I have not found the one that says she went to the Apostle Islands.so I am confused there. do not know IF they went to church. speculation is that she may be the widow reffered to in Butterfields history. ( Susannah)but we do not really know. I will do some further checking.........get back to you.........Jo Ann her dau. Susannah J m.
