Notes for JOSIAH POWELL:
NOTE:POWELL DATA was comkpiled by Frances Powell Otken, McComb, Mississippi.
Josiah Powell, with his wife and seven children moved from Madison County, Georgia to the Mississippi Territory in the late summer of 1817, settling about 5 miles from Summit, Pike County on the east fork of the Tangipahoa River.
JOSIAH POWELL was a First Lieutenant of Captain James Ware's Company of Infantry, 1st (Harris) Regiment, Georgia Militia, War of 1812, served from August 25, 1813 to March 11, 1814.Place of Enlisment not shown.(Ref:U. S. War Department, Adjutant General's Office # 2 055 938)
In the emigration from Georgia, there also came at the same time the Womacks and Stricklands, which would indicate they were long-time friends and neighbors.Colonel Solomon Strickland was from Tyrone County, Ireland, and probably was a neighbor there to Thomas Mackie and perhaps John Brixey.Rachel Mackie Brixey married second Barnaby Strickland, son of Colonel Solomon Strickland and Amy Pace Strickland.These families appear to have stayed together in all their migrations.Family tradition is that John Brixey, husband of Rachel Mackie, was a native of Ireland, and when on a return voyage to his native land, was lost at sea when the ship and all on board went down a short distance off the coast of Georgia.Court records would substantiate this since we find no late records of any kind regarding John Brixey.
Josiah Powell, husband of Janet Brixey, was killed December 28, 1846, by being thrown from a spirited young horse that he had raised.He was en route to Natchez, Mississippi, to purchase supplies, and over the protest of his sons, he insisted on riding the young horse which was frightened by something along the roadside, plunged and rearing, throwing him violently to the ground.
Josiah Powell was a skilled craftsman and cabinet-maker.He made a number of pieces of furniture which are still in the family.
Josiah Powel, (sic) was in Militia District 204 in 1810, Elbert County, Georgia, but when Madison County was formed in 1811, said district fell into Madison County.In one of the early Militia notes, Josiah Powel (named spelled with only one L) gave the year of his birth as 1774.He appears to have lived in that part of Elbert County around Blue Stone Creek, which later became a part of Madison County, Georgia.Land records indicate that Josiah Powel and John Brixey owned adjoining land in Elbert County, Georgia in 1811.

The records show that one Josiah Powell served in the War of
1812 as a 1st Lieutenant in Capt. James Ware's Company, 1st Regiment
(Harris) Georgia Militia.His service commenced 25 August 1813 and
ended 4 March 1814.
The records of the early wars on file in this office are of a stricly
military character and rarely show any items of personal or family history,
and nothing has been found of record to show the name of the county from
which the above named enlisted.The muster roll from 25 September 1813
to 4 March 1814 is dated Milledgeville.Possibly the Archivist, The National
Archives, Washington, D. C., who has custody of the pension records for the
period of the War of 1812, may be able to furnish additional information.
The names James Powell and Thomas Powell have not been found
on the records on file of soldiers who served from Georgia in the Revolutionary
War, nor has the Brix been found on the rolls of soldiers who served in the
War of 1812 from Georgia.
The records show tht one John Briges, name also shown as James
Bridges, served in the War of 1812 as a private in Capt. Adam Hooth's
Company, 1st Regiment (Harris') Georgia Militia.His service commenced
August 26, 1813, and ended March 3, 1814.
