These facts are gathered from many
sources-from the Wills OF Thomas and
William Booth. sons Of the emigrant.
from old chancery suits in James city
county: from tombs In Gloucester
county. and from the family Bible OF
Mordecai Booth. son of the first WILL
liam Booth. These Booths knew OF
no connection with the other numerous
branches Of the family. William, JUS
tice OF Gloucester. known as William
of Woodstock. has found no place on
this tree. He married Mary Macon
Jones, widow OF Emanuel Jones. In
1882, but left no descendants.

Powell.
Ed. Genealogical Column:
I wish to find the ancestry OF the
Powell family OF Loudoun county. Can
you assist me?
The branch desired Is that OF Major
Levin Powell. OF the Revolution. It is
probable that Llewcllyn Powell was his
fath.r Who was his mother? Did
Llewellyn Powell descend from the
Welsh Llewellyn family? was there
not some connection between the Pow
Gil and Burwell families?
SUBSCRIBER.
We gave something OF the Powells
In issues OF April 2sth and May 10th,
1907. which see. We have not the
Loudoun county records. and do not
find the name of Levin Powell. Ptotomy
Powell. OF Spotsylvania. was at the
siege OF Yorktown. He was then only
fourteen years old. and acted as a
substitute for his brother. The fam
lily is OF Welsh descent Henning NM
lions Levin or Leyen Powell as in the
Colonial service. We think. some OF
the Powells married into the Burw.ll
family. See "Sommers's History OF
Southwest Virginia"
