    1. [S37] Death Certificate.
      Death Certificate for Mary Carter Powell gives her middle name as Williams. We believe Walker (her mother's maiden name) is correct, however we can find no document to prove this fact. Naming patterns for this family are consistent using the Mother's Maiden Name as a middle name, for 300 years.
