Would like to know of anyone with info on a Francis Powell of Northern Chowan, Perquimans or Gates Counties. NC. Mid to later 1700s.Would love to know where his land was and how he acquired it. Leanne Dooley
Hello,
I am a direct descendant of James Powell and William Powell. James is the son of William Powell. I am David R. Powell-Byer. My Dad is David R. Powell-Byer Sr. He was adopted by Jack Warren Byer after his Father Jackie Lamar Powell left home with severe ptsd after Nam.
Hello, my name is Tracy Powell and have enjoyed reading through your collection of information. My ancestor George Cader Powell 1809-1881 and his wife Patience Caroline Powell were cousins that married. They are both related to this line. Patience Caroline Powell is the daughter of William Powell & Mary Cox. George’s father was Benjamin Powell 1751-1836 have you came across him in all your research. Here is all I have collected for him trying to find the right connection.

Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks Tracy~
