John Powell & Elisha Powell Census Records

Presented by The Three Sisters

Back to Doucments Menu

Descendants of John Powell brother to our Henry, have found The Three Sisters .   This Elisha is known to be Henry's brother.  A Mary Powell married Henry Poore in Buchanan Co. and then in 1880 a Mary Powell age 65 is living with the family of Henry and Mary Poore.  Since Elisha's widow is accounted for in the household of her son John Lee Powell, we are at a loss as to who the second Mary Powell could be.
