The information on Charles Powell was sent to me by Dee Godkins and was passed on to her by Fleta Aday and Betty, two of three sisters who have been reseaching the Powell family for a very long time. You can find both their email addresses and website links on the new Powell links page. The connection between these Powells and the Powells in my family are as of right now, not proven, there are other pages for this Powell line listed here, unfortunatly other than what is posted, I do not have any further information on this line.

Note: Charles Powell died April 30, 1744 and his estate was appraised February 2, 1744. Britain did not adopt our present calendar until 1753.
