      Joshua & Fanny Willingham Powell were the parents of:

      Sally Powell, who married John W. Morefield 1810 Halifax, VA, s/o Wright & Nancy (Stevens) Morefield. Fanny Powell signed the consent for Sally to marry John. John & Sally fit an 1850 Henry Co, TN census record. A Joshua Powell, who lived close by, was likely Sally's brother, Joshua (Jr.). Henry Co. borders Stewart, TN and Calloway,
      KY, where Green Morefield lived.

      Nancy Powell, who married Henry Morefield 1814 Halifax, VA, s/o Wright & Nancy (Stevens) Morefield. Joshua Powell signed the consent for Nancy to marry Henry. Henry's family was in Stokes, NC in 1830 & 1840 and in Pulaski, KY in 1850. Nancy died before 1850, and Henry married an Elizabth, last name unknown (not the Elizabeth Powell who married William Morefield in Halifax, VA 1836, as some have claimed). tp://groups.yahoo.com/group/MOREFIELDHOMEPLACE/message/2074

      ....."After Joshua (Sr.) died (before 1810), Fanny's children sued her in order to force her to carry out the terms of Joshua's will--Halifax VA, Plea Book 29 p. 189, 315. Another daughter of Joshua & Fanny mentioned in that court case was Polly. The rest of you may have already figured this out, but it just occurred to me that the Polly mentioned in the law suit must have been the Mary "Polly" who married James Harding Morefield in 1816. James & Polly's oldest son was named Joshua. Well, duh... James & Polly were in Rowan, NC in 1830, in Clark, IN in 1840 and in St. Clair, IL in 1850. They also named a daughter Frances, so maybe there were no lasting bad feelings toward
      Polly's mother."
