____________________________________________________________
From the STEPHENS family history written by John R. STEPHENS, 1840- 1904, "My great grand father POWELL (JAMES POWELL, SR.) was the father of three children WILLIAM POWELL, JAMES POWELL and MARY POWELL."
These three children are:
1. WILLIAM ALLEN POWELL, the subject of this biography who lived in Chatham Co., NC, moved to Pendleton District, SC and to Habersham Co., GA where he died about 1836. Buried in an unmarked grave at Dukes Creek Church, near his land, in what was formerly Habersham Co., GA, now White Co., GA.
2. MARY ELLEN POWELL, married Samuel H. Stephens. See the deeds below regarding Samuel Stephens, and his wife's parents, JAMES POWELL, Sr. and ALSE POWELL. They are buried in the Stephens Family Cemetery, near Secona Church on Hwy 183 in Pickens Co., SC, at the intersection of what is now named Stephens Road.
3. JAMES POWELL, b. 1759, the eldest of the three children. He married Rebecca Bynum. They had at least 8 children. The couple left Pendleton District, South Carolina just after the 1810 census was taken, where they show in close vicinity to his brother, WILLIAM POWELL. They moved into the Rhea Co., TN area, where many families had removed to, waiting for the Creek lands to open up in Alabama. When Alabama was opened for settlement in 1818, they moved down into Blount Co., Alabama in Powell's Valley. About 1846, they moved to Murphree's Valley, near present day Oneonta, Blount Co., Alabama. REBECCA POWELL died 1851 & JAMES POWELL died 1855 and are buried in Blount Co., AL in unmarked graves.
WILLIAM POWELL, the subject of this biography, lived in Pendleton District, from some time just before 1800 until 1819 and shows on the census there in 1800 and 1810. His neighbors on Wolf Creek in 1810 included John McIntire, William Bolen (Bolding), Edward Gregory, John Stewart and Jonathan Liverman. John McIntire's son, Phillip, mar. Rebecca Powell (see below); Wm Bolding's son Jonathan L. Bolding mar. another Rebecca Powell (possibly dau. of ALLEN or JOSIAH POWELL, sons of WILLIAM POWELL, the subject of this biography) and Edward Gregory moved to Blount County, Alabama near his erstwhile neighbor, JAMES POWELL. From Pickens County, South Carolina history: "William Bolding's homeplace was comprised of 80 acres which he had bought from Edward Gregory on Gregory's Creek, on the road "from Secona to Keowee."
Pickens County (Old Pendleton District), South Carolina, Deed Book G, page 122: "WILLIAM POWELL of Pendleton District, South Carolina, is appointed as lawful attorney of JAMES POWELL, SR. of said county to pay debts and demands due me in Chatham and Wake County, North Carolina, and to give receipts." /s/ JAMES POWELL, July 21st, 1802. Witnessed by SAMUEL STEPHENS, WILLIAM MURPHREE.
The two males under age sixteen who show in the 1800 Pendleton District, South Carolina household of WILLIAM ALLEN POWELL are likely sons, ALLEN POWELL born ca. 1785 and JOSIAH POWELL born ca. 1786.
Another son of WILLIAM POWELL was JAMES POWELL, likely named for his uncle, JAMES POWELL, SR., was born about 1800, after the census of that year, in Pendleton District (Pickens County), South Carolina and died 1871 in Jackson County, Alabama.
A daughter of WILLIAM POWELL was REBECCA POWELL, born about 1801 Pendleton (Pickens County), South Carolina and died after 1840 in Gordon County, Georgia. She married Phillip McIntyre who was born about 1796 in Pendleton District, South Carolina, and died in 1849 Gordon County, Georgia. He was the son of John McIntyre, who was born about 1760 Chatham Co., North Carolina, and died 1835 in Habersham County, Georgia. This was the same John McIntyre who lived next to William Powell in 1810 Pendleton District, South Carolina. Rebecca and Phillip McIntyre's sons, William Thedford McIntyre and John R. McIntyre show in 1850 Gordon County, Georgia, as well as a sister, Rebecca McIntyre who married Eli Pickens Howell 1833 in Habersham County, Georgia. Both E.P. Howell and P.M. McIntyre were named in the estate proceedings of John McIntyre 1835, Habersham County, Georgia.
Another daughter of WILLIAM POWELL was ELIZABETH POWELL, born about 1804 on Wolf Creek, in Pendleton District, South Carolina and died 1832 Habersham County, Georgia. She married Russell E. Cannon, born 1797 in Pendleton District, South Carolina. They married about 1819-22 in Pendleton District, South Carolina, moving to Habersham Co., GA about 1825 where her father, sister and brother, JAMES POWELL, lived. This was about the same time that another brother, JOSIAH POWELL moved from Pickens Co., SC to Habersham Co., Ga. along with several other Pendleton District, South Carolina families. ELIZABETH POWELL CANNON died in Habersham County, Georgia about 1832, not long after her last daughter, Nancy Elizabeth Cannon (married to Miles Wooten) was born. Russell Cannon remarried to Elizabeth Guess and moved to Gordon County, Georgia about 1837 with JAMES POWELL and Phillip McIntyre. Elizabeth Guess Cannon is living next to JOSIAH POWELL in 1860 Gordon County, Georgia.

Habersham County, Georgia Deeds (LDS Film # 0382555):
DB F, p. 86: WILLIAM POWELL to JOSIAH POWELL, 1/2 of Lot 91, 3rd Dist., $75, land on Dukes Creek. /s/ 18 Dec 1827. Wit: JAMES POWELL, John Stoner, J.P.
This JOSIAH POWELL of Pendleton Dist., So. Carolina is unquestionably the son of the WILLIAM POWELL mentioned here. JAMES POWELL, who witnessed this deed, was the younger brother to JOSIAH POWELL, the son of WILLIAM POWELL, the subject of this narrative. So, this deed shows father and two sons.
JOSIAH POWELL, a fortunate drawer in the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery from Habersham County, Georgia, qualified for draws as a resident of Georgia and veteran of late War (War of 1812.) A bounty land warrant filed in Blount County, Alabama indicated that JOSIAH POWELL served in Captain Norton's Company, Colonel Austin's Regiment, South Carolina Militia during the War of 1812.
Note that Blount Co., Alabama is where JOSIAH POWELL's uncle, JAMES POWELL, had removed to after the Creek Land Cessions in 1818.
JOSIAH POWELL sold his 202 1/2 acres lottery land to George Heard, DB A, page 121, Troup County, Georgia. Note that the residency requirement for this land lottery was three years which meant that JOSIAH POWELL lived in Habersham County, Georgia prior to the lottery from about 1824.
JOSIAH POWELL sold Lot 91, 3rd District, Habersham in 1828; see below.
DB F, p. 221: JOSIAS POWELL to Whitfield Bond, both of Habersham, 1/2 Lot 91, 3rd District, land on Dukes Creek. /s/ 10 Nov 1828. Wit: JAMES POWELL, A.M. Norris, J.P.
After the sale of this land, JOSIAH POWELL returned to Pickens County, South Carolina where he shows on the 1830 census. Whitfield Bond was a neighbor of JAMES POWELL in Habersham. Whitfield Bond was from Buncombe Co., NC. JOSIAH POWELL later moved to that portion of Cass County, Georgia that became Gordon County, Georgia.
DB F, p. 186: Michael Herndon of Elbert Co., Georgia to WILLIAM POWELL of Habersham Cty, Ga. Power of Attorney to sell Lot 91, 3rd Dist. "I do nominate WILLIAM POWELL, for divers and good causes, to be my lawful attorney." /s/ 10 June 1823. Wit: Evin Pierson, Jas. Blackwell, JIC.
1820 Elbert Co., Georgia shows Michael Herndon, age over 45, next to Joseph Blackwell. The Elbert Co., GA Herndon family is from Orange and Chatham Co.s, North Carolina, where the families intermarried. WILLIAM POWELL and Michael Herndon are approximately the same age, and might well have known each other in Chatham Co., NC, hence, the power of attorney.
Evin Pierson shows as Evan Person living next to WILLIAM POWELL, in 1820 Habersham Cty. Ga. He later moved to Cass County, Georgia along with the POWELLs. Rev. Evan Pearson was a Missionary Baptist minister.
DB F, p. 186: Michael Herndon by WILLIAM POWELL, to James Leonard, both Habersham County, Georgia. Lot 91, 3rd Dist. $500, 250 ac. /s/ 13 Aug 1829. Wit: John T. Carter, A.M. Norris, J.P.
DB F., p. 186: James Leonard to WILLIAM POWELL, Lot 91, 3rd Dist. , $500, 250 ac. /s/ 13 Aug 1829. Wit: John T. Carter, A.M. Norris, J.P.
This land is referred to in the deed as "POWELL's Gold Mine." James Leonard was the brother of Alsey Leonard who married Jacob Lewis. Their daughter Ann Beeson Lewis married William Alexander, to whom WILLIAM M. POWELL, son of JOSIAH POWELL, sold Land Lot # 300 in Cass County, Georgia, April 1839.
DB G, p. 23: James Gilliland to WILLIAM POWELL, Lot 67, 3rd District, 25 acres. "Large branch below the new Mill" and "west to the line of Benjamin Allison." /s/ 25 Apr 1827. Wit: Curtis Ledford, Francis Bird.
DB G, p. 73: WILLIAM POWELL to Benjamin Allison, both of Habersham, Lot 67, 3rd District, $125. "Joins line of Benjamin Allison." /s/ 14 Oct 1827. Wit: John Fisher, John Butt, Sr.
Curtis Ledford married Cassandra Allison and lived directly next door to JAMES POWELL in 1830 Habersham. He is buried in Dukes Creek Baptist Church near Helen, Georgia, along with WILLIAM POWELL. Her brother Bird Allison died Jackson County, Alabama. A Methodist Church was built on a small portion of Lot 67, 3rd District and Rev. Francis Bird, named above, was it's first pastor. Rev.d Bird was also related to the Allison family.
"Joins line of Benjamin Allison": Benjamin Allison owned Lot # 66, purchased 11 Mar 1824 from Rev.d Francis Bird, wit: Ebenezer Fain, J.P.
DB G, p. 17: John Morgan to WILLIAM POWELL, both of Habersham, part of Lot 85, 2nd District, 100 acres. /s/ 4 Jan 1830. Wit: John T. Carter, Jeremiah Taylor, J.P.
William Bird Cannon married John Morgan's daughter.
DB G, p. 72: Wm Davice (Davis) of Clark County, Alabama to Allen Lawhorn of Troup County, Georgia, Lot 98, 3rd District, Habersham County, Georgia. /s/ 18 May 1830. Wit: WILLIAM POWELL, Lewis Wynn.
DB L, p. 107: John Thomas to John D. Fields, Jr and JAMES POWELL, all of Habersham, 1/2 of Lot # 3, 4th District, $300. /s/ John Thomas, 27 Jul 1830. Wit: Edward T. Kinsey, Thomas Payne.
Elizabeth Thomas was possibly the first wife of JAMES POWELL. John Thomas, in this deed, was JAMES POWELL's brother in law. John Thomas served in Colonel Austin's Regiment in the South Carolina Militia, War of 1812, with JOSIAH POWELL. John Thomas married Martha Fain 1817 in Buncombe County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of Ebenezer Fain, Revolutionary Soldier, who lived directly next to JAMES POWELL in the 1830 Habersham County, Georgia census.
John Thomas and Thomas Payne were next door neighbors in the 1830 census of Habersham County.
DB M, p. 107: JAMES POWELL to John G.B. Adams, part of Lot # 3, 4th District, $300. /s/ 11 Mar 1830. Wit: James J. Field, Thomas Payne.
Thomas Payne was son of John Carroll Payne and grandson of John "Red Bank" Payne. Thomas Payne had recently relocated from Habersham to Franklin Co., Georgia where other family lived as this deed indicates, Thomas Payne to Robert Walters, 19 January 1828, Franklin County, Georgia, Deed Book BB, "Thomas Payne of Franklin County, late of Habersham County and state aforesaid ..."
DB M, p. 108: JAMES POWELL to John D. Field, Jr., part of Lot # 3, 4th District. "Grant, bargain and convey 1/2 of all the interest of the mines, minerals and valuable ores together with the privilege of wood and water in fee simple and five acres of land around the store house of the said Field and Co., including the Spring." /s/ 5 March 1831. Wit: James W. Adams, Charles Horton.
Charles Horton mar. Elizabeth Adams. James W. Adams and his brother, Rev. Nathaniel Adams, were progenitors of several Adams families in Gordon County, Georgia. Rev. Adams' son, Rev. James A. Adams born 1806 Pendleton District, So. Car. married Melinda Cannon and they lived in Gordon County, Georgia. James W. Adams' son, Clayton Adams, lived next to JAMES POWELL in 1850 Gordon County, Georgia.
Phillip McIntyre, son of John McIntyre who lived next door to WM POWELL, in 1810 Pendleton District, South Carolina. Phillip M. McIntyre married REBECCA POWELL born 1801, daughter of WILLIAM POWELL, the subject of this narrative.
The reader should take note that the movement of this WILLIAM POWELL from Chatham Co., NC, to Pendleton Dist., SC and to Habersham Co., GA, while it follows a predictable migration path for many families of this era, has been largely undocumented by other researchers, thus far. "Gone To Georgia" indicates that the WILLIAM POWELL of 1820 Habersham came to that place from Wilkes Co., GA. This is incorrect. That WILLIAM POWELL is likely the same one who died 1808 Jasper Co., GA. The deeds of Habersham Co., GA involving WILLIAM POWELL, and his sons, JOSIAH POWELL and JAMES POWELL, provides unequivocal identification and proof of the family connections to Pendleton District, SC (Pickens Co., SC) and to Gordon Co., GA to which sons JOSIAH POWELL, ALLEN POWELL and JAMES POWELL later removed, along with numerous other descendants, relatives and friends.

The chain of title was given for Lot 67, above, once owned by William Powell, in a 1950 court case in Georgia case law (stare decisis):
WHITE et al. v. SPAHR.
17087.
(207 Ga. 10)
(59 SE2d 916)
(1950)
Petition for injunction. Before Judge Edmondson. White Superior Court. January 28, 1950.
HAWKINS, Justice.
Extract:
It is alleged that the defendant holds no deed or title to lot 67 or any part thereof, and that the defendant has no right, title, or interest in or to land lot No. 67, but that he has gone on lot 67, across the original east and west line between said lot and lot No. 62, and cut and felled growing timber thereon to the injury and damage of the plaintiffs, and is threatening to continue to cut and appropriate to his own use the growing timber on lot 67; and the plaintiffs pray for process; for the recovery of damages for the timber alleged to have been cut and removed, for exemplary damages, that the defendant be restrained and enjoined from going upon or trespassing upon lot 67, and for general relief.
To this petition the defendant filed his answer, in which he denied that the plaintiffs held title to and were in possession of all of lot 67 save the excepted portions thereof described in the petition; and alleged that he held a warranty deed from Mrs. C. W. Hunter to the land in dispute, and that he, together with his predecessors in title, had been in peaceable, exclusive, uninterrupted, and actual possession of said land for a period of 89 years. He denied that he had gone upon and cut and removed any timber from lands belonging to the plaintiffs, and alleged: that he had cut some growing timber near the old Bart Allison home place, but alleged that said timber and the land upon which it grew had been in the possession of the defendant and his predecessors in title for 89 years; and alleged that the plaintiffs had no right, title, or interest therein, and were not entitled to possession thereof; that the plaintiffs well knew that the disputed area has been in the actual, peaceable, exclusive, and uninterrupted possession of the defendant and his predecessors in title since William Allison resided thereon in the year of 1857, and that a line from what is known as the Meade corner has been since that date recognized as the line by all adjoining land owners except the plaintiffs, and that until 1942, they had so recognized the line.
