It is good to hear from another from my husband's Powell family. As you probably read on my website, we now have DNA proof that my husband descends from the Isle of Wight Co., Virginia Powells. Now I need to connect our known Benjamin Bridges Powell back about 150 years to those early Powells -- No easy task!! Do you perhaps have any information on the identify of Benjamin Bridges Powell's parents? Thanks for sharing your information. Elaine Powell Hi Vicki, Thanks for the information.

According to my father in 2001, James A. Powell was a civil war veteran in either Missouri or Illinois. He said that James had a second wife, Elizabeth Shipman b. 1842. This seems to be a late in life marriage with no known children. On the 1960 census for Newton Co, Mo, Van Buren Twp. James Powel and Benjamin Powell's neighbor is Mitchell Shipman and he has a daughter Elizabeth who is 3 years old. I believe that this is the Elizabeth that James A. later marries after Mary dies. The younger boys of James A. and Mary (James Morris, Oscar Perry, and Jake C.) having been raised by older sisters left home young and went to the new territories in Oklahoma. Benjamin Bridges Powell
