      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.

      It is possible that this Jarrold Powell is the brother of the father of his wife, Elizabeth Powell. This has not been confirmed. See The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 139-140 (Article #100 "Family of Jefferson Davis Butler" by Louise Powell Butler). If so, Jarrold Powell would have married his niece. One source gives his death date as 28 June 1831. See: Ancestors and Allied Families of Daniel G. and Judith E. McCormick Bowling. This seems incorrect given that his will apparently was written in 1832 and not proved until 1838.

      Witness: Carter Powell, Edwin M. Powell
      Proved by the oath of Carter Powell and ordered recorded 20 March 1843 [Note: The only lot containing 26 acres in the division is lot #6 that went William Powell. The above deed adds the middle initial "J." to the name "William Powell" in the division of lands in the deed in FF 57-58. This allows us to tie the "Jackson Powell" in the will to the "William Powell" in the division in FF 57-58, and to the "William J. Powell" in this deed. This gives us a full name "William Jackson Powell" and by implication this is also the full name of the William J. Powell who is the son of Mastin Powell and who is refered to as "William J. Powell Sr." in Halifax VA deeds (such as Halifax County Virginia Deeds, Book 56, page 61) with "William J. Powell Jr." who is the William J. Powell in this deed.]
