    Notes:

    She was the second wife of John Green Lea.

    In the obituary of John Bibb Powell reference is made to a
    half-sister, Mrs. John G. Lea of Danville, Virginia. Thus
    it is possible that Mildred Helen Powell and John Bibb
    Powell shared only one parent, probably a father, Mastin
    James Powell.
