      Notes:

      Mastin James Powell (1824-1902)

      Apparently named for his maternal grandfather. His middle name may be Jefferson. See the obituary of William Brooks Powell (1853-1923).

      1880 United States Federal Census
      Name: M. J. Powell
      Home in 1880: Milton, Caswell, North Carolina

      Birthplace: North Carolina
      Relation to head-of-household: Self (Head)

      A. V. Powell 7
      James Jeffrey 24

      Mastin James Powell apparently was married twice. Note that the obituary of his son William Brooks Powell refers to a half-brother named John B. Powell. And, the obituary of John Bibb Powell refers to three half-sisters. It appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.

      The 1850 US Federal Census (Caswell County, North Carolina) also lists a Mastin Powell (25, born in Caswell County, farmer), apparently with daughter Mary I. (3, born in Caswell County), and son John (1, born in Caswell County). If these are children of the Mastin James Powell of this entry their mother would be Susan Hubbard. Query whether she died giving birth to John Powell in 1849 (and whether this is John Bibb Powell).

      1850 United States Federal Census

The children of John and Lucy are Mary Susan Neal (17 Nov 1861 - 05 Jul 1935) and William Howard Neal (21 Aug 1862 - 28 Sep 1923). Mary Susan Neal married John B. Powell in Caswell Co. on 29 Apr 1878. He was the son of M. J. Powell and Susan. Susan Neal Powell is buried in Shady Grove Methodist Church Cemetery. William Howard Neal married Alma W.

      Notes:

      John Bibb Powell (c.1850 - 1924)

      John T. Neal was born 20 Mar 1838 and died 25 Jun 1864. He married Lucy A. Howard on 11 Dec 1859 in Caswell Co., NC. Lucy was born in 1835 and died 25 Aug 1862 when her 2nd child was born. The children of John and Lucy are Mary Susan Neal (17 Nov 1861 - 05 Jul 1935) and William Howard Neal (21 Aug 1862 - 28 Sep 1923). Mary Susan Neal married John B. Powell in Caswell Co. on 29 Apr 1878. He was the son of M. J. Powell and Susan. Susan Neal Powell is buried in Shady Grove Methodist Church Cemetery. William Howard Neal married Alma W. Hodges in Caswell Co. on 23 Feb 1898. She was the daughter of J. T Hodges and Mattie. Wm. H. Neal is buried in Moon Creek Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery. [The Beaver Pond Neals of Virginia by Carl B. Neal, March 1965.] Source: Kathleen Dawson (batsbelfry1@comcast.net).

      Note the existence in this database of several entries that would have the initials M. J. Powell, purportedly the father of John B. Powell. Moreover, one of these entries, Mastin James Powell married Susan Gillespie. See the Susan referenced in the notes above. Accordingly, John Bibb Powell (c.1850 - 1924) had been included as a son of Mastin James Powell and Susan H. Gillespie. However, it appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.

      J. B. Powell Dies After Long Illness

      The death occurred this afternoon at 1:20 o'clock of John Bibb Powell, at his home on East Paxton street, following a lingering illness, being bedridden for about a year. Deceased who was 74 years of age, had been a resident of this city for the past six years, having removed here from Caswell county where he was born. His death was due to a complication of diseases and infirmities of age.

      Besides his wife, who was formerly Miss Susie Neal, he is survived by the following children: Mrs. L. T. Oakley, Richmond; Mrs. Hunter Wults, Mrs. B. O. Lee, Mrs. Gene Scearce, John Powell and Charles Powell, all of Danville; also three half sisters: Mrs.
      R. M. Hubbard, South Hill, S. C., Mrs. J. H. Slade, Purley, N. C., and Mrs. John G. Lea of this city.

      Announcement of the funeral will be made later, as arrangements had not been made this afternoon.

      The Bee (Danville, Virginia) 1 February 1924 (Page 5)
      Funeral of Mr. Powell

      The funeral of J. Bibb Powell, who died on Thursday afternoon at his home, 1012 West Paxton street, was conducted yesterday afternoon at three o'clock from the home, the remains being taken to the Shady church and interred in the church cemetery. Rev. J. M. Shelburne conducted the funeral.

      The pall bearers were W. H. Wilson, J. L. Abbott, J. W. Bray, Haskins McFall, Dr. Raymond Scruggs, J. R. Stevens, F. A. Gourley.

      The flower bearers were John Travis, Gordon Powell, Will Connor, Henry Wilson, W. N. Perkinson, P. L. Anderson, Harry Nobley, J. E. Lawrence, Dorsey Fowlkes, J. H. Ellis,
      Holland Fowkles, J. D. Pruitt, G. E. Bondurant, J. W. Williamson, R. A. Vaughn, A. C. White, E. L. Ferguson, C. L. Minter, J. W. Davis, C. E. Abbott, Charles Giles, Henry Weedman, E. T. Ashworth and C. P. Scarce.

      Note the reference in the above obituary to half sisters, which indicates that at least one of his parents was married more than once. Also, the obituary of William Brooks Powell (1853-1923) refers to a half-brother, John B. Powell. As all the other siblings were younger than William Brooks Powell, the also would have been half-siblings of John Bibb Powell. Thus it appears that Susan H. Gillespie is not the mother of John Bibb Powell, and that Susan Hubbard was his mother. She apparently was the first wife of Mastin James Powell.

      John Bibb Powell (Mastin James Powell2, Jarrold Powell1) was born ABT 1850, and died 30 JAN 1924 in Danville, Virginia. He married Mary Susan Neal 29 APR 1878 in Caswell County, North Carolina, daughter of John T. Neal and Lucy Ann Howard. She was born 17 NOV 1861, and died 05 JUL 1935. She was buried in Shady Grove United Methodist Church (Caswell County, North Carolina).

      Children of John Bibb Powell and Mary Susan Neal are:

      W. Brooks Powell Dies Unexpectedly

      William Brooks Powell, for thirty-four years, a well-known citizen of Danville, died unexpectedly at his home, 775 Main street, shortly before seven o'clock, Sunday night. Mr. Powell, who was 70 years of age, had been in declining health for five years, but his death was quite unanticipated. He had been able to go out recently, and had been engaged on tobacco market during the heavy period of the past week. On Sunday morning he was taken ill and he gradually grew worse during the day, his condition becoming critical during the evening when life left him peacefully.

      Mr. Powell was born in Caswell county March 4, 1853, being a son of the late Mastin Jefferson Powell and Mrs. Susan Gillespie Powell. He came to Danville thirty-four years since, and engaged into the tobacco business, being a re-handler and one of the veteran buyers of the market. He was the oldest member of the Danville Tobacco Association, and three years ago he was elected an honorary life member of the organization. Mr. Powell was widely known, not only among the tobacco fraternity of this city, but among the farmers patronizing the Danville market for many miles around. Mr. Powell was married about forty years ago to Miss Florence Allen at Milton, who survives with three children, Gordon B. Powell Danville, Mrs. Dan E. Hooker, Greensboro, Mrs. Evelyn P. Skinner and Miss Colleen Powell. Three sisters survive Mrs. John G. Lea, Danville, Mrs. J. H. Slade, of Blanch, N. C., and Mrs. R. M. Hubbard, of South Hill. He also leaves a half-brother John B. Powell.

      The funeral will be held from the home at ten o'clock Tuesday morning and will be conducted by the Rev. James M. Shelburne. Interment will be in Green Hill cemetery.

      Notes:

      Her tombstone reads Ruby Mitchell Bryant. Whether Bryant was her birth name or her married name is unknown. Here it is assumed that Bryant was her married name. The gravestones of Robert L. Mitchell (1865-1939) and Ruby Mitchell Bryant are adjacent in the Gilead Presbyterian Cemetery (Estelle, Caswell County, North Carolina). Whether they are related is unknown. However, it is possible that this person is Robert Lee Mitchell, brother of James Grasty Mitchell (father of Ruby Mitchell). Thus, Robert L. Mitchell would be an uncle of Ruby Mitchell.
