| Misc Powell Land and Court Records from Halifax Co., Virginia |
 |
| ||||||
| 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 and some at http://OurPictureGenealogy.homestead.com/, unfortunatly other than what is posted, I do not have any further information on this line. To see more on the Rigney and other families please visit: http://OurVisualGenealogy.homestead.com/index.html http://postcardgenealogy.homestead.com/index.html http://StatesOfHeritage.homestead.com/index.html Halifax County Virginia Land Records Book 10 Page 265 Recorded August Court 1777 Dated 10 Feb. 1777 - Anthony Gholson of Louisa Co. purchased of John Williamson of Halifax Co. for 125 pounds, 225 acres "lying and being in the County of Halifax aforesaid and on the South side of Dan on the lower side of Deep Bottom creek...Down new Road" - Bounded by John Dickies, William Wiley and John Raney, Joseph Talbert, Elizabeth Miller - land formerly owned by Jacob Miller - Witnesses: James Coleman, Joseph Talbert, Thomas B??, John Gholson Book 10 page 266 Dated 26 May 1777 - Charles Powell of Halifax Co. purchased of George Rainey for 62 pounds, 150 acres on the waters of Licking creek - Bounded by Landers line - Witnesses: John Stanfield, John Gholson, George Patterson Book 14 page 447 Recorded 22 June 1789 - Charles Powell and wife Sarah sold 150 acres on Licking creek to Asher Reeves for 100 pounds Book 14 page 485 Dated 3 Jan. 1789 - Dabney Goalson sold to John Goalson - 100 acres for 100 pounds - land described as "being upper part of the land given to me by my fathers last will...beginning on Charles Powell line" - Bounded by John Dickie, Charles Powell, James Watkins - Witnesses: Charles Powell, Thomas Hix, Arch Commical - Note: This record describing the land received from Anthony Gholson as beginning at Charles Powell line proves Charles' land was adjacent to his father's-in-law land on the South side of the Dan. There were many other Powells in the land records (William, Luke, David, Mark, John, Joshua, and another Charles) but the land was mostly in Northern Halifax Co. on and near the Bannister River. I have not connected any of these other Powells with our Charles, but it is possible there is a connection. Book 16 page 23 Dated 31 Jan 1792 - Asher Reeves sold to Anthony Powell - 100 acres for 72 pounds on Licking Creek and Deep Bottom Creek - Bounded by Wilies line, John Dickies line, Frances Pellies (Pettys?), and Robert Stanfield line - Signed by William Watkins, William Wood, and Dickie Book 16 page 184 Dated 1 June 1793 - Asher Reeves sold to Anthony Powell - 50 acres for 28 pounds on Licking Creek bounded by Elmer Wiley, John Wiley, Faney Turner, and Anthony Powell - Note: This is surely the same land Charles Powell sold to Asher Reeves in 1789 and Reeves sold it in two parts to Anthony for the same 100 pounds he paid for it. Asher Reeves signed Anthony's marriage consent as a witness. Could he be a relative? Book 16 page 181 Dated 26 April 1794 - Nathanial Warren bought 100 acres from James and Robert Holt on Holt Mill Creek Bounded by William Stanfield, James Warren, Isaac Smith - Signed by Charles Powell Jr. his mark Note: This has to be our Charles Powell Jr. in Halifax County in 1794. He could have stayed with his brother Anthony, but it seems more likely he went to Kentucky with his father and returned to visit and perhaps procure supplies. In 1823 a Powell Warren (surely Lucy's son) is buying land in Halifax. 8 Sept 1796 - John Wesley and wife Agatha sold to James Anderson Glenn 130 acres for 65 pounds on South side of Dan on Licking Creek boonded by Fanny Turner, Anthony Powell, John Wylie, Robert Stanfield Note: In July 1798 Agatha Wesley signed her conscent to this transaction. This is the last record we have of Agatha. This family name is usually spelled Wesley in the early records, but later it was sometimes Westley. Book 20 page 564 Dated 23 Sept. 1805 - Anthony Powell sold to James Anderson Glenn 150 acres on South side of Dan River for 50 pounds - Bounded by James Cloudis, James Lalmon, Miley Clowdis, J. D. Towers, Henry Lalsmon Book 23 Page 591 Date 3 Sept. 1811 - Anthony Powell sold to Thomas Stanfield for $700.03 - Six Negroes: Jenny, Ellsey, Jack, Miller, Tom, and Jacob - signed by Thomas Watkins Sr. Book 29 page 476 Dated August 1821 - Heirs of Charles Powell Sr. of Mercer County, KY appoint Paul Wesley of Halifax County as their attorney to sue Thomas Crawford of Mercer County, Ky, Adm. of Charles Powell estate. Signed John Wesley, Sucy (Suzy?) Wesley, Rhoda Wesley, Mary Wesley, and Sarah Wesley Note: These have to be Agatha's children. Since Agatha does not sign, she must have died by this time. MARRIAGE RECORDS HALIFAX COUNTY Sarah Wesley married Charles Gregory 3 March 1829, John Wesley her father, Bondsman Paul Wesley, Wit. James Wiley and Paul Wesley Book 3 page 13 John R. Wesley married Nancy A. Lowery 25 Nov. 1859 |
