      Notes 
      • She was the second wife of John Green Lea.

        In the obituary of John Bibb Powell reference is made to a half-sister, Mrs. John G. Lea of Danville, Virginia. Thus it is possible that Mildred Helen Powell and John Bibb Powell shared only one parent, probably a father, Mastin James Powell.
