Carter Glass Powell (1800-1857)

His birth date also is seen as 16 May 1800. Source: The
Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine
D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 438-439 (Article #573 "The
Carter Powell Family" by Mrs Helen Powell Neal).

The owners of the homes in which Thomas Day's architectural
woodwork is found constituted some of the wealthiest and
most powerful individuals in the Dan River region:
physician John Tab Garland, M.D., at one time the richest
man in Caswell County (1850s and 1860s); banker and civic
leader Thomas Donoho Johnston; machine shop, foundry, and
sawmill owner Caleb Richmond; state senator James Kerr;
merchant and tobacco factory owner John Wilson; planters
William Long (also the owner of a sawmill and gristmill),
Sidney Lea, George Williamson, Haywood Williams, Thomas
Mumford McGehee, and William H. Holderness.

Family relationships among the planters enhanced the demand
for Thomas-Day-made architectural trimwork. Thomas Donoho
Johnston built Clarendon Hall in 1842 and tapped Day to
embellish the interior; when his sister and brother-in-law,
Sarah and William Long, built the Long House in 1856, they,
too, turned to Day. Day provided the architectural woodwork
for the house of Captain Carter Powell around 1848 and that
of his son Henry Alexander Powell less than a decade later.
Thomas L. Lea and his siblings Sidney S. Lea and Rebecca
Lea (Mrs. George Williamson), his niece Elizabeth Lea (Mrs.
Calvin Graves), and his daughter Ann Lea (Mrs. William
Griffin Graves) provided Day the opportunity to do the
woodwork on a law office and four of their five houses
between 1840 and 1850.

The woodwork suggests the Carter Powell house was built
around 1848 rather than the more often cited 1850. Day's
machine-cut newels with tendrils date Henry Powell's house
to 1853-1855. Day's work for Elizabeth Lea and Calvin
Graves was not on their house, as it was built several
years earlier, but on Calvin's law office, for which Day
supplied the mantel. For a discussion of this family, see
Whitlow, "Thomas L. Lea," in Heritage of Caswell County,
354.
