I am researching the Powell family from Bowie and Cass counties in Texas. I am interested in the ancesters of Whit Mill Powell, born Oct. 25, 1828 in Montgomery, Alabama. He died Jan. 20, 1911 in Cass Co., Texas. His father was William (Billy) Powell. Whit was married to Elizabeth Annie Lee, born Aug. 29, 1829 and died March 12, 1888. She was related to General Robert E. Lee. I am also researching the family of Alexander Jones, born March 16, 1835 in Pierre Part, La., and died Dec. 14, 1888. His original name was Robert Henry Pare', (or Pair), and was changed to Alexander Jones due to difficulties with legal authorities. He is buried in Woodstock cemetary in Bowie county, Texas. He was married to Elizabeth Burch (Durst) High on Nov. 30, 1867. She was born on Nov. 30, 1835 and died on July 21, 1890. |
