Second Photograph: John Horton and Eliza Ann Powell Horton.
Several death certificates of the children of John Horton and Eliza Ann Powell give their mother's name as Martha or Mary. A decendant of William Joshua Horton (born 1844 in Caswell County stated that the story was that Eliza said her name was not Eliza Ann and that she hated to be called Eliza Ann. That would explain the Mary Powell/Martha Powell name discrepancy.
Eliza married John C. Horton on 28 Jan 1835 in Caswell County, North Carolina. John was born on 04 Jun 1809 in Caswell County, North Carolina; died on 15 Jan 1879 in Rowan County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 2
| 2. | Jarrold Powell died in 1838 in Caswell County, North Carolina. Notes:
Jarrold Powell
Name also seen as Jarrett.
It is possible that this Jarrold Powell is the brother of the father of his wife, Elizabeth Powell. This has not been confirmed. See The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 139-140 (Article #100 "Family of Jefferson Davis Butler" by Louise Powell Butler). If so, Jarrold Powell would have married his niece.
One source gives his death date as 28 June 1831. See: Ancestors and Allied Families of Daniel G. and Judith E. McCormick Bowling. This seems incorrect given that his will apparently was written in 1832 and not proved until 1838.

Deed, William J. Powell to Mastin Powell
North Carolina Division of Archives & History, Caswell County, NC Deeds,
Book FF Pages 681-682, 15 November 1842
Abstract: "William J. Powell of the County of Caswell and State of North Carolina of the one part and Mastin Powell of the County of Halifax and State of Virginia "; $50 for "a certain piece of parcel of land lying in the county of Caswell State of North Carolina on the waters of little creek adjoining the lands of him the said Mastin Powell, Elizabeth Powell and others containing by survey twenty six acres "
William J. Powell
Witness: Carter Powell, Edwin M. Powell
Proved by the oath of Carter Powell and ordered recorded 20 March 1843 [Note: The only lot containing 26 acres in the division is lot #6 thatwent William Powell. The above deed adds the middle initial "J." to the name "William Powell" in the division of lands in the deed in FF 57-58. This allows us to tie the "Jackson Powell" in the will to the "William Powell" in the division in FF 57-58, and to the "William J. Powell" in this deed.
This gives us a full name "William Jackson Powell" and by implication this is also the full name of the William J. Powell who is the son of Mastin Powell and who is refered to as "William J. Powell Sr." in Halifax VA deeds (such as Halifax County Virginia Deeds, Book 56, page 61) with "William J.Powell Jr." who is the William J. Powell in this deed.]

Love to have new information about my Powells of Caswell. I think Jerald Powell who married the daughter of Mastin Powell is the son of my James McDonald Powell and not HER uncle as many state. I think that is a ridiculous assertion! James M. Powell's daughter married a Fitzgerald and both parents died. James raised the 3 Fitzgerald children. I think he named a son Fitzgerald and the fitz was dropped. Jerald Powell was born about the time the Fitzgerald's died. They had a mill in
Caswell Co, NC.
