Hello all,
I've traced my POWELLs back to Thomas and Hannah POWELL, 1790s Burlington, NJ. The POWELLs continue in NJ to this day, so there are lots of us all over. I am looking for others who might have more information.

Thanks,

Kristi Snyder

Hi Clifford!
Welcome! My POWELLs, at least on me Da's side, have a Wales-English connection, too. Who knows, research may find us cousins. I think me Mum's POWELL lines are strictly British, but I'm not sure if they were in Herefords.

There are several Bible record sites with POWELLs. I saw this site last week:

My known ancestor is Joyce Powell who married John Johnston probably in GA
about 1772. Her father (some say older brother) was William Powell and mother was named Elizabeth.

William Powell of McIntosh Bluff was given a Spanish Land Grant in 1795 at McIntosh Bluff for lands on the west and east sides of the Tombigbee River. In his request for the grant, William stated that he had lived on the property for ten years without a title or deed and therefore desired a grant. He had come to Alabama in 1785 from Effingham County, Georgia (just above Savannah), having owned land in Effingham County on the Ogeechee River. William's land was located at McIntosh Bluff on part of the property now owned by the Olin Corporation. The land given to John McIntosh by the British in 1775 was down river from William's land by at least a half mile. John Johnston was next neighbor to William Powell, just down river. Johnston was married to Williams's sister Joyce Powell. below Johnston's was his son-in-law Cornelius Raine. It was in Cornelius' home that Aaron Burr ate breakfast after his capture at McIntosh Bluff in 1807. Cornelius property extended to Hell Cat Lake. William Powell was then one of the very first settlers, having arrived in 1785, not only of Washington County but also one of the earliest white men to move into the area that would later (1819) become Alabama. He had a son Elijah and a son named James. It is very likely that William was the father, not only of John, Elijah, and James Powell, but also of Theophilus and William Powell, William owned land on both sides of the river and no doubt traveled freely on the beautiful Tombigbee. John Snowden Powell of Bates Lake at Malcolm, never realized that he spent the best and happiest years of his life within the shadow of the place where his great-great grandfather had put down roots as one of Alabama's very first settlers in 1785. In fact, a circle was made by the travels of the earlier John Powell who left McIntosh Bluff for Oven's Bluff on the Tombigbee River, then up the Alabama River to Packer's Bend, then his son Picnckney moved to Brooklyn in Conecuh co. and his son, John Cary moved to Calvert and his son, John Snowden moved on up to Malcolm. John Snowden always spoke of his ancestors as being from Brooklyn, never realizing that, although many of his ancestors were from Brooklyn, his oldest Alabama ancestors were from neighboring McIntosh bluff.

Battle of Britain Roll of Honour

'The Few' were 2353 young men from Great Britain and 574 from overseas, pilots and other aircrew, who are officially recognised as having taken part in the Battle of Britain. Each flew at least one authorised operational sortie with an eligible unit of the Royal Air Force or Fleet Air Arm during the period 10 July to 31 October 1940. 544 lost their lives during the period of the Battle, and these are marked by an asterisk. A further 791 were killed in action or died in the course of their duties before the wars end, which is also noted.

I invite you to read and join my discussion in the Discussion Forum. Because Powell is a rather common name, we will find Powells scattered all across the US whose date of immigration will vary widely. I am hoping to find others who are familiar with a line that settled first in Robeson County, North Carolina in the 1700s and later migrated into Florida and Mississippi.
