    Mastin, son of David Powell (d.1801) was a respected member of the community. I don't know why he was executor of a Smith estate unless it was because of his status in the community. He married a Carter[ Polly,d/oRichard] and his brother (David, Jr.) married a Smith. Perhaps that is where the connection came form. David Jr married (I think) Sarah Wynne Smith but I don't know anything about her family.
    That community was centered around the present town of Halifax, Virginia which is only a few miles from South Boston. Mastin later settled along the Dan River between Danville and South Boston where he ran a tavern, had a race track and lots of kids. A good portion of the Powells in north central NC descend from Mastin and his wife Elizabeth [his wife is Mary O. Carter, d/o Richard and Susannah Bigger]. I do know that David and Sarah moved to NC shortly after their marriage. Mastin's oldest son, Carter Powell, was a wealthy landowner in the vicinity of Milton, NC.

    In Reply to: Mastin Powell, Halifax, VA d. 1846 by Steve Carson of 14673

    Mastin was my 3rd G grandfather. Interesting family history ... his father was David Powell, hiw mother was Mary Epps Powell (2nd cousin to Thomas Jefferson). Mary died and David took in and maried a widow , Susannah Carter, with several young children. Mastin and Susannah's daughter Polly hit it right off and were married in 1796 when Polly was probably about 15. Mastin was 20. Never found a marriage record, suspect they were spirited away to NC (just across the river) for a shotgun marriage. David died in 1801, Susannah burned his will (we think) and claimed the widow's share of David's considerable estate. Mastin (probably born Martin but never used the right name) moved to another area of Halifax County and built a stagecoach inn with a bar and a racetrack. He raised a lot of tobacco and made a lot of money. He and Polly had lots of kids. Eventually Susannah died and Mastin was appointed executor of Davids's estate in 1815. I descend from mastin's youngest son, William Jefferson Powell. North central North Carolina is populated with descendants of mastin's other kids, particularly his first-born, Carter Glass Powell who was a prolific planter in Caswell county.
    Would like to exchange information with other descendants of Mastin's grandfather, Edward Powell of halifax County VA.

Susanna married second David Powell 17 November 1796, and Powell became guardian to her three younger children, Richard, Samuel, and Nancy, by September 1797. A chancery suit of November 1796 identified Richard?s heirs as John Carter, who was then of age, and minors, Thomas, Lemuel, William, Mary, Richard, Samuel, and Nancy

    Halifax Co., Virginia Deed Francis Brandon gives his daughter Catherine land to service his named grandchildren William T., Eliza H., Thomas O. and Mary Ann Catherine and
    any other of her children. Dated 1831; The marriage Record
    for Richard Carter and Catherine Brandon is 1822. If these
    children are listed as the grandchildren of Francis
    Brandon, f/o Catherine who married Richard Carter, then
    these are the children of Richard Carter.


    Notes: After Father Richard Carter died Halifax County Pleas Book 18 p 121 - Lemuel Carter being of full age to choose - chose John Carter as Guardian - David Powell and Thomas Carter were securities 1797

    Notes:

    Theodrick Carter, II and Anne Waddill were the parents of Nancy Waddill Carter. Anne Waddill was baptized January 24, 1713, according to the register of St. Peter's parish, which encompassed New Kent County. Her parents were William and Sarah Dennis Waddill. William was elected vestryman of St. Peter's, on June 1, 1704, and served in
    this capacity for at least thirty-five years. The author James Branch Cabell,a descendant of John Waddill, discussed the Waddills in his book "The Majors and Their Marriages." Theodrick Carter and Anne Waddill lived for a time in New Kent County. According to the register of St. Peter's parish, their first child John was baptized on October 30, 1737. Theodrick appeared in the Amelia County tithables list of June 10, 1747 in John Nash's district (this area became part of Prince Edward County in 1754); he is absent from the list Nash compiled for the same district on June 10, 1745. He must therefore have migrated from New
    Kent County to present-day Prince Edward County sometime between these two dates. Nancy was born June 15, 1749, probably at her father's estate "Hickory Hill" (also known as "Hickory Grove"). According to tradition, the house was built around 1750; however, it may have been built three years earlier, since we know that Theodrick was living in John Nash's tax district on June 10, 1747.
    John Wood's 1820 map of Prince Edward County shows the location of Hickory Hill. Two miles west of Hampden-Sydney College is the notation "Capt. Carter's." Captain Carter was Samuel Carter, Nancy's brother. Samuel inherited Hickory Hill from his father in 1777. Destroyed by fire in 1933, Hickory Hill was described four years later in the Works Projects Administration survey of Prince Edward County homes: [Hickory Hill] was not a show place except for its splendid boxwood and cedar hedge and lovely gardens. It was a plain frame house, or rather two houses connected by a little square room. The first of these traditions says it was built in 1750, a story and a half with small rooms except for one large reception room, which was beautifully paneled, and with one side of carved oak. The other part of the house was built by William H. Venable, when he bought the plantation in 1853 from Edward Carter [Samuel's son]. Mr. Venable built a large, square, two-story frame building, with large rooms and ample halls. The many outbuildings around the mansion house made the place quite a little settlement. The large grove of hickories flanking it on the south gave the place its name.
    Nancy's father was one of Prince Edward County's most prominent planters. He purchased 975 acres in old Amelia County on September 20, 1748, and bought and sold other parcels of land up to the time of his death. A member of the Anglican church, Theodrick offered 300 acres of land to St. Patrick's parish for its use as a glebe, or plot of land granted to the local clergyman as part of his benefice during his tenure of office.

    Thomas and Nancy Thompson probably named their fourth child in honor of her brother, Samuel Carter. Samuel distinguished himself in the military, in politics, and as a businessman. A member of the 1st Virginia Regiment during the Revolutionary War, he and seven other officers were granted the honor of personally welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette during the great soldier and statesman's visit to Richmond in October, 1824 (Richmond Enquirer, October 29, 1824, page 3). Samuel at various times held the county offices of sheriff, magistrate, and coroner; in 1805-1806 he represented Prince Edward County in the Virginia Assembly. In the late 1790s he was a trustee of a company which improved navigation on the Appomattox River. Later, he became a charter trustee of the Junction Canal Company. In 1825 the company constructed a canal which linked the Appomattox and Little Roanoke rivers. John Wood's map of Prince Edward County shows Samuel's mill at the mid-point of this canal.
