Hi, Im Gary Powell from Tx., and Ok. My Powell lineage is from Ky, Tn, NC, and Va. I have researched back to my 3rd GGF "Levi Powell" born 1799 in NC, and died around 1862 in Knox, Co. Ky. His second wife was Ann Law's, first wife is unknown, whom he had most of his children, but My 2nd GGF he supposedly had with Ann. Just looking for his parents and any other info available.
Hello Gary, and welcome!
I have two Levi POWELLs, but they are from VA and about a century before yours. Perhaps you may connect to one of them as your researches reveal further grandparents. I hope so. Happy Dae·
Just by way of very quick intro ... I'm researching the descendants and ancestors of Pearsall Brush POWELL (b 1798) s/o William POWELL and Abigail BRUSH of New York. I'm especially interested in continuing with William's ancestry - seeing as it took me over 13 years just to find him!
Hey Jeannine,
You should find a few POWELLs in the Long Island Genealogies. Not my lines, but I've seen several in there that helped others. Happy Dae·
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.
'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.

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.

Hi to you All.
I have just joined this group.
I am researching the Family powell from Herefordshire and Wales Borders.
My Great Great Grandmother is Elizabeth Powell Born 1852.
Elizabeth Married George Jenkins in 1873.My Great Grandmother Edith Annie Jenkins was born 20th May 1892.
Any info on the Powell family would be very much appreciated
Regards
Clifford Wood
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.
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.
I'm stuck at Isaac Powell b. either 1760 or 1791, son of Jacob and Rebecca, who married Mercy Mathis b.either 1762 or 1796 in New Jersey. He was father to Mathis Powell b. 1828 d. 1896. Any help would be appreciated.
Welcome Ron!
Your POWELLs are well-documented there. I looked for mine in the Long Island Genealogies, but it is a different line. Whatever I find that might connect to yours I'll post here.
Gosh, Ron. I rec'd something todae that might help you from Mikki.
Hi Dae
I was given your web site link in the AOL genealogy room. I noticed that your surname is POWELL. I am also searching POWELL genealogy. My Mother's maiden name was POWELL.
The best I can tell is that this line goes back to a Thomas POWELL, who settled in Bethpage, L.I., NY after buying 15,000 acres of land from three different Indian tribes for £140 English pounds.
Are you of the same POWELL Family? If so, I would like to exchange information.
I go back through my grandfather George; his father Edward Frost POWELL; his father William Bishop Bound POWELL; his father Obadiah POWELL; his father Moses POWELL. I have not yet found out who the father was of Moses, and hope maybe you could help.
These families started out at Bethpage, LI, NY, and Moses moved the family to Westchester/Dutchess Co. area, and then to Stillwater, Saratoga Co., NY.
It is thought that at one point, Frost POWELL settled in Steuben Co., NY around 1810-1815 as my gr-gr-grandfather William B. B. POWELL, was born in 1819, and at that time there were some POWELL's in the towns of Hartsville or Hornell, then some of the family moved back to Stillwater, while some stayed in Steuben Co.
I believe it was because Frost POWELL's first wife had died and he remarried and had more children and his older son from the first marriage stayed there, while Frost remarried either before or after he left there; later Frost and William B. B. left Stillwater and eventually settled in Wisconsin.
My gr-gr-gr-grandfather Frost POWELL moved his family to Waterford, Racine Co., WI along with him, my gr-gr-grandfather, William B. B. POWELL, who married Mary Anne SPROAT, d/o of David C. SPROAT and Sarah KITTREDGE SPROAT.
David was b ca 1795 Albany, NY; Sarah born Hinsdale, MA ca 1800; they married 1819 in Dalton, MA and moved to Fair Haven, VT within a few months after their marriage. In 1844, David move his family to Waterford, WI.
I hope some of this information will help you to find if there is a link between our POWELL lines.
I have noticed that some people moved around a lot while others stayed in one place during the 1800-1900s. My Powell line is from Georgia but I don't know if that is where they originated.
Do you have information about your Powell's ethnicity? Immigration led to intermarriage with Irish, English, Natives, etc.
Hello Linda,
My POWELLs originated in Brecon, Wales. The migrated to London, Virginia, Ohio and from there all over the USA. Aye, they intermarried with nearly every ethnic group I can name.

Greetings everyone. My name is David McKeown and I am researching my Powell family. I am looking for information that relates specifically to Archibald Powell(1763-1836)who married Sarah Ten Broeck(1766-1855) around 1792. I have had reasonable success tracing data up to Archibald but beyond him is a blank. I am fairly confident he traces back to the "Long Island'' Powell's but am missing that link. Any help would be appreciated. Again for clarity below is a brief overview
hello, my ggrandpapi is norman portervine powell, his wife was anna norris powell so i found her mother rachel norris, no death records or cemetary records. any help is welcome will go to familysearch Dixie
Hello all, my great grandmother Kittie M Powell, was born Sep 13, 1875 and died Dec 28, 1953. She married Elias Milton Harrington and resided in Robeson county their entire life. They had five children one of which my grandmother (Ellen) who married into the Andrews. Anyway, i have hit a wall when it comes to the Powell side of the search after her. I found some info that her parents names might have been Ailey Stanley and Nicklos(?) Powell.
This is what I found so far....My mother was Lora Erlene Powell 07 July 1912in Osford, De Soto Parish, Lousiana, US her father was Allen Neil Powell born 26 March 1885inFlagon Creek, Rapides Parish, Lousiana, USA. His father was Ezekiel Howell Powell born Jan 1854in Lawrence, Mississippi, USA. His father was Ezekiel Howell Powell born in 1820in Monmouth, New Jersey, USA. His father was Dr. Ezekiel Powell born in 1778in Culpeper, Virginia, USA. His father was James Powell bornn in 1752 in Culpeper, Virginia, USA. His father was Benjamin Ambrose Powell born in 1702 in King and Queen, Virginia, American colonies. His family was Robert Powell born in Occupacia Piscataway, Rappahannock, Virginia, American colonies. His father was John I Powell born in 1632 in Occupacia Piscataway, Rappahannock, Virginia, American colonies. His father was William Powell born in 1620 in Isle, Virginia, American colonies. His father was Thomas Powell born 1 Apr 1599in Powelltor, Suffolk, England.
My Powells were in Jones County, GA, early to mid-1800s. Caroline Powell (b 1848) m. Andrew Jackson Whitehurst in 1866. Her father was John Powell Jr. (b1810 in VA) and his father, John Sr born in VA. Would love to know if this is true nor if it's just pooled Ancestry.com ignorance... Of course, we all have a "family story" of Native American heritage, and mine was that my grandfather's grandmother was NA. This was way before we stared looking and didn't even know names--but when I did look, there was Caroline Powell, right in the correct spot... Can help but notice the strong NA "Powell" names in our history--any ideas? Thanks!
Looking for information on an Elijah Powell (a mulatto) who was b)~1778 in NC and died 1835 in Clay Co., Kentucky. Myself and a few cousins believe this may be the Elijah Powell in Johnston County, NC. Perhaps the descendant of Stephen Powell and Mary Jeffries from Surry Co, Virginia clan. Any help is appreciated. I have done autosomal DNA testing if anyone is interested, you can find me on Gedmatch.com A075707 and let me know you're a match if you are! This line is a brick wall for me.
Hi. I'm brand new here. Philip Powell, (Reading and then McVeytown Pa d 1743) is my G4. John Philip is G3, Daniel is G2 and John Henry Powell(who is quoted in the Memorial History book) was my Great-Grandfather. So far, it seems that Philip's parents are not proven. John and Margaret Powell of Paxtang, Dauphin County (was part of Lancaster County at the time) are good candidates. Note that Philip named is fist two children John and Margaret. Some of John and Margaret's children (John, William and Malachi) I believe are better tied to Paxtang and the parents. I would love to concretely answer this question. John, and apparently Margaret go back to some really cool early Pennsylvania history. I would be willing to do the DNA thing if it would help. I know very little about that though. Anyway, if there are other Philip descendents here, or others researching this line, I would love to talk with you. Curtis Powell
I am new here but I am wondering if anyone is researching the Powell line from Virginia Madison,Greene, and Culpepper county . My GG Grandfather Willis came to Missouri Howard County between 1838 to 1840. He married Jane Mariah Harrison in Madison County Va. I have information on them but cannot find any on Janes ancestry. Could anyone help me here. Thank You
I have just joined this group. I can trace my Powell line back to Walter Powell of Somerset County, Maryland but it gets very confusing after that because many of them have the same first names. I would be interested to know if anyone is following the same line.
Hi. I am one of the Welsh Powells (born in Tredegar but living in Australia). I have a Walter Frete Powell and a William Bebb Powell who went to the US. John Powell from Trevethin, Monmouthshire (1773), is one of my ancestors if that helps anyone..
Seeking any information of those related to Powell family believed to be from Robeson and Columbus County NC. I have not been able to go further back than 1848.
Hybert Washington Powell 1870-1958
son of William R Powell Sr (Rawls?Nawls?)
son of William Powell (unknown)
Any help in adding to the tree is greatly appreciated.
My ancestors come from Mangotsfield in Gloucestershire and some of my family still live there. I've researched back to Obadiah Powell (1728-1798) and have great fun doing it. My grandparents were the Hughes (Gloucester), Wall (Gloucester/Worcester) and the Clements (Wales). Happy to share and learn from anyone looking at the same lines.

'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.

Betty Vaughn
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.

Your POWELLs are well-documented there. I looked for mine in the Long Island Genealogies, but it is a different line. Whatever I find that might connect to yours I'll post here.

Dae Powell
Hi Dae
I was given your web site link in the AOL genealogy room. I noticed that your surname is POWELL. I am also searching POWELL genealogy. My Mother's maiden name was POWELL.
The best I can tell is that this line goes back to a Thomas POWELL, who settled in Bethpage, L.I., NY after buying 15,000 acres of land from three different Indian tribes for £140 English pounds.
Are you of the same POWELL Family? If so, I would like to exchange information.
I go back through my grandfather George; his father Edward Frost POWELL; his father William Bishop Bound POWELL; his father Obadiah POWELL; his father Moses POWELL. I have not yet found out who the father was of Moses, and hope maybe you could help.
These families started out at Bethpage, LI, NY, and Moses moved the family to Westchester/Dutchess Co. area, and then to Stillwater, Saratoga Co., NY.
It is thought that at one point, Frost POWELL settled in Steuben Co., NY around 1810-1815 as my gr-gr-grandfather William B. B. POWELL, was born in 1819, and at that time there were some POWELL's in the towns of Hartsville or Hornell, then some of the family moved back to Stillwater, while some stayed in Steuben Co.
I believe it was because Frost POWELL's first wife had died and he remarried and had more children and his older son from the first marriage stayed there, while Frost remarried either before or after he left there; later Frost and William B. B. left Stillwater and eventually settled in Wisconsin.
My gr-gr-gr-grandfather Frost POWELL moved his family to Waterford, Racine Co., WI along with him, my gr-gr-grandfather, William B. B. POWELL, who married Mary Anne SPROAT, d/o of David C. SPROAT and Sarah KITTREDGE SPROAT.
David was b ca 1795 Albany, NY; Sarah born Hinsdale, MA ca 1800; they married 1819 in Dalton, MA and moved to Fair Haven, VT within a few months after their marriage. In 1844, David move his family to Waterford, WI.
I hope some of this information will help you to find if there is a link between our POWELL lines.
Thanks again for any help.

I have noticed that some people moved around a lot while others stayed in one place during the 1800-1900s. My Powell line is from Georgia but I don't know if that is where they originated.
Do you have information about your Powell's ethnicity? Immigration led to intermarriage with Irish, English, Natives, etc.
Thanks

My Powells were in Jones County, GA, early to mid-1800s. Caroline Powell (b 1848) m. Andrew Jackson Whitehurst in 1866. Her father was John Powell Jr. (b1810 in VA) and his father, John Sr born in VA. Would love to know if this is true nor if it's just pooled Ancestry.com ignorance... Of course, we all have a "family story" of Native American heritage, and mine was that my grandfather's grandmother was NA. This was way before we stared looking and didn't even know names--but when I did look, there was Caroline Powell, right in the correct spot... Can help but notice the strong NA "Powell" names in our history--any ideas? Thanks!

Hi. I'm brand new here. Philip Powell, (Reading and then McVeytown Pa d 1743) is my G4. John Philip is G3, Daniel is G2 and John Henry Powell(who is quoted in the Memorial History book) was my Great-Grandfather. So far, it seems that Philip's parents are not proven. John and Margaret Powell of Paxtang, Dauphin County (was part of Lancaster County at the time) are good candidates. Note that Philip named is fist two children John and Margaret. Some of John and Margaret's children (John, William and Malachi) I believe are better tied to Paxtang and the parents. I would love to concretely answer this question. John, and apparently Margaret go back to some really cool early Pennsylvania history. I would be willing to do the DNA thing if it would help. I know very little about that though. Anyway, if there are other Philip descendents here, or others researching this line, I would love to talk with you. Curtis Powell
