News: Looking for females who are in the pure female lines (mother to daughter) from William and Sarah who are willing to do an mtDNA test. Such a person would be descended along an all female line from Mary DEVIN Biggers or Margaret DEVIN Reynolds. The hope is to identify the markers for Sarah SMITH Devin to help identify her parents. Contact the webmaster if interested.

        _______________

        James M. Powell is a son of John and Margaret Powell. He is named in his father's will. He lived in Caswell Co. N C. Mrs. Butler reported that Elizabeth Powell married her Uncle. I find no James Powell, son of David Powell who could be Jerald Powell's father. Can he be identified in any census record or will? I don't think so. The James Powell in Caswell belongs to our Powell family not David Powell's. He lived to be a very old man. He was declared unable to attend to his affairs before he died which was in the 1840's. I am not at home and can not see the exact date. James M. Powell had 10 heirs. He had Nancy who married Thomas Fitzgerald and Elizabeth who married James Grant jr. He had a son name Edward and somtimes he is listed as Edmond. He had a son named James M. who married Betsy Mitchell. He may have had a son named John. James M. Powell was born in the 1750s in Stafford Co. Va. He came to Caswell Co. with mother and step-father Elizabeth and Duke Whalebone. Elizabeth Powell Grant was born in 1779. She is one of his oldest children. I sure wish I could id all his children.
