GENEALOGICAL.
! Mrs. James II. Draper.
Powell--There were many different
Powell families In virginia and North
Carolina. The family worked mp AMI
| mentioned In my report in this seoiumn
was that OF Colonel Levin Powell OF
Loudon county. Virginia I found my
| first clue in an out-of-print family
history. only one copy Of which pos
sibly exists There 10 no copy In the
Congressional Library. since the sketch
was written only for the use Of the
authors family and was not allowed
to be sold. The authors grandmother
was sister TO Colonel Powell. The
unfolding OF records in the Powell line
ana connected families brought about
results htgii9x gratifying. and gave
4 many pleasant surprises TO the lady
for whom the work was lone
There may be some connection be-
/ tween this line and that OF John
Powell. but l. have found none Re-
4 search might reveal an important link
There was probabfya John in the very
early ancestry of Levin PowelPs fami-
ly, BUT the genea1ogy that was worked
up last year does not connect with
4 him. The claim formerly made by the
Loudon Poweiis that they spring from
Captain william Powell of jamestown,
who was killed by Indians In 1873, has
been abandoned almost entirely The
genealogy as accepted goes back
earlier than 100. through legal docu-
kments that furnish positive proofs at
