Notes:

In the obituary of John Bibb Powell reference is made to a
half-sister, Mrs. J. H. Slade, Purley, N.C. Thus it is
possible that Lula Virginia Powell and John Bibb Powell
shared only one parent, probably a father, Mastin James
Powell.

Powell1) was born 04 OCT 1870 in North Carolina, and died
03 MAR 1940. She was buried in Purley United Methodist

Mastin Jefferson Powell apparently was married twice. Note that the obituary of his son William Brooks Powell refers to a half-brother named John B. Powell. And, the obituary of John Bibb Powell refers to three half-sisters. It appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.
The 1850 US Federal Census (Caswell County, North Carolina) also lists a Mastin Powell (25, born in Caswell County, farmer), apparently with daughter Mary I. (3, born in Caswell County), and son John (1, born in Caswell County). These are children of the Mastin Jefferson Powell of this entry their mother would be Susan Hubbard.
