Honorias Powell (son of Thomas Powell and Mary Place) was born 1669, and died 1763.He married Joyce Lamberth on 1694. Notes for Honorias Powell: Source: Sue Lloyd, Coursey & McFarland GenForum In 1728 when Caroline County, VA, was created, the location of Honorias' land made him a resident of the new county. Caroline County records include: 1732-34 Registered two young slaves in court when French and Indian war broke out 1732-45 Served four times on jury 6/13/1734 Has Negro boy Dover, adjudged to be 12 years old ********************************************************************* http://www.vangundy.net/familytree/paf/pafg63.htm#1227 Residences & events in Honorias' life: 1695 He made certain gifts to his step-daughter, Sarah Lamberth. 1701 He was co-executor of his father's estate. 1704 Essex Co, VA. He was listed on the Quit Rent Rolls with 72 acres along with brothers, Place and Thomas, also having 72 acres. 2/1705-6 St Anne's Parish, Essex Co, VA. He bought 2 tracts of land totaling 570 acres from Daniel & Mary Magirt. The first of 300 acres was in exchange for 6000 lb tobo (tobacco) and was described: "adj Occupation Swamp, Wm Goulding land, Francis Shackleford's corner, Beverley's line 'by a small branch side of Matopony River thence along the said Beverley's line North East by East 244 poles to a corner white oak of Beverleys and a Corner red oak being a Corner of Andrew Barrons Land made by Capt Charles Smith,' along Barrons line" etc. For the second plot of 270 acres, he paid 5400 lb tobo. This acreage was described: "betw a tract belonging to Mr Beverley and an Indian path. Adjs Chicahomony path, across the path, runs 426 poles along line of Beverly Park, along Andrew Barrons line" etc." 3/1712-13 Essex Co. Honorias, resident of St Annes Parish and a planter, bought 296 more acres from William & Margret Berry. This land was "part of a patent of 4763 acres granted to Enock Dou'ty on 15 June 1675." 5/14/1720 Honor Powell of St Ann's Parish had land in King and Queen County adjoining Joseph Berry and William Daniel. In 1728 when Caroline Co, Va, was created the location of Honorias' land made him a resident of the new county in St Mary's Parish. 6/17/1729 Essex Co, VA. It seems some family members tried to cheat Honorias out of the 100 acres of land he received from his father by including it in the 427 1/2 acres they repatented in its entirety. The scheme apparently worked for awhile until this suit: "Action for trespass by Honorius Powell against Elizabeth Harrell. One hundred acres of land formerly granted to William Mosely April 8, 1670 and sold by said Mosely to Richard Pool by deed August 16, 1673 who by power of attorney to George Jones on September 24, 1678 deeds said tract to Thomas Powell on July 22, 1679; the defendant produced a patent formerly granted to John Salmon, Place Powell, William Powell bearing date May 2, 1705 and we find John Salmon, son and heir of aforesaid John Salmon did sell the said land, formerly granted to one Charles Harrell January 8, 1716 under whom the defendant claims; if the law with jury trial October 8, 1728 said adjoining Col. John Camels forrest land proved by oath of Martin Willard, Catletts line, Widow Harrells house in the land surveyed at 120 acres. The patent to John Salmon, Place Powell, William Powell May 2, 1705 was for 427 1/2 acres in county of Essex which is the land in dispute. We find that William Powell and Place Powell died, the said land being undivided and that they never made any disposal of same. That John Salmon survived the said Place and sold said land to Charles Harrell. We find that Honorius Powell was in possession of the land above 30 years ago and paid the quit rents for 1712, 1724, and 1728 but never claimed any possission of the land." 1732-34 Caroline Co, VA There were several entries recorded at the county courthouse: Honorius registered 2 young slaves in court (when the French and Indian War broke out).

Mary Powell, daughter to Francis Place, doth appoint her loving friend, Mr. Daniel Gaines her true and lawful attorney to acknowledge sd deed." William Wilton witnessed this power of attorney and a few days later bought the land from Coghill. This deed establishes the maiden name and father of Thomas Powell's wife Mary. 1694 Essex Co, VA "Thomas and Mary Powell convey to their son, Honorias Powell, 100 acres of land beginning at an ash standing 'in the line of Colonel Catlett (forest land)' on a branch adjoining Abraham Stepp." 1704 Isle of Wight Co, VA. Thomas supposedly still owned 100 acres according to "English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records," even though he had been dead the past 3 years. A Seymon Powell owned the same amount of land. Thomas' will, dated 3/10/1700, proved 4/10/1701 in Essex Co, VA, says he is "of Sittenburn Parish and very sick and weak." He leaves land to be divided equally between his sons, Place and Thomas and his wife, her part at her death to go to son William, cattle to son, William and "these persons that hath the education of my son William till he shall come ot the age of 21 years." He also left bequests to daughters Frances Powell, Elizabeth Salmon, Anne Coffee, and sons, Honours (Honorias) and Place and son-in-law-John Salmon, to be Executors.
