Mastin, son of David Powell (d.1801) was a respected member of the community. I don't know why he was executor of a Smith estate unless it was because of his status in the community. He married a Carter[ Polly,d/oRichard] and his brother (David, Jr.) married a Smith. Perhaps that is where the connection came form. David Jr married (I think) Sarah Wynne Smith but I don't know anything about her family.
That community was centered around the present town of Halifax, Virginia which is only a few miles from South Boston. Mastin later settled along the Dan River between Danville and South Boston where he ran a tavern, had a race track and lots of kids. A good portion of the Powells in north central NC descend from Mastin and his wife Elizabeth [his wife is Mary O. Carter, d/o Richard and Susannah Bigger]. I do know that David and Sarah moved to NC shortly after their marriage. Mastin's oldest son, Carter Powell, was a wealthy landowner in the vicinity of Milton, NC.

In Reply to: Mastin Powell, Halifax, VA d. 1846 by Steve Carson of 14673

Mastin was my 3rd G grandfather. Interesting family history ... his father was David Powell, hiw mother was Mary Epps Powell (2nd cousin to Thomas Jefferson). Mary died and David took in and maried a widow , Susannah Carter, with several young children. Mastin and Susannah's daughter Polly hit it right off and were married in 1796 when Polly was probably about 15. Mastin was 20. Never found a marriage record, suspect they were spirited away to NC (just across the river) for a shotgun marriage. David died in 1801, Susannah burned his will (we think) and claimed the widow's share of David's considerable estate. Mastin (probably born Martin but never used the right name) moved to another area of Halifax County and built a stagecoach inn with a bar and a racetrack. He raised a lot of tobacco and made a lot of money. He and Polly had lots of kids. Eventually Susannah died and Mastin was appointed executor of Davids's estate in 1815. I descend from mastin's youngest son, William Jefferson Powell. North central North Carolina is populated with descendants of mastin's other kids, particularly his first-born, Carter Glass Powell who was a prolific planter in Caswell county.
Would like to exchange information with other descendants of Mastin's grandfather, Edward Powell of halifax County VA.

Green's son Alfred m. Elizabeth Redden 1848 Marshall, KY.
Marshall, KY borders Calloway, KY, which borders Henry, TN.

Green's parents have not been established. His connection to Halifax is indirect--as far as I know, we have found no record that ties him to Halifax. However, there are strong indications that he was closely related to Martin, Julius and Johnson, all of whom are tied directly to Halifax.

Note that there was another female b. 1810/1815 in John W.'s household in 1830. I don't find a marriage record that would account for her.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MOREFIELDHOMEPLACE/message/1956

I had speculated earlier that the John W. & Sarah Moorfield in the 1850 Henry, TN census--with daughters Susan, Sarah, Mary, Elvira and R.F. (Rebecca) (all b. VA)-- matched the John W. & Sally (Powell) Morefield of Halifax. For some reason, I looked at the image of the census record again a few days ago and noticed that there was a Joshua Powell
age 59 in household 55/55, while John W. & Sarah were in household #60/60. I believe that Sally, Nancy (m. Henry Morefield) and Joshua were children of Joshua and Fanny (Willingham) Powell. At MRE2002 we looked at a lawsuit brought by Joshua & Fanny's children against Fanny after Joshua's death. At any rate, I think the fact that Joshua
Powell (Jr.) was living nearby is even more evidence supporting the speculation that the Henry Co. TN family was indeed John W. & Sarah (Powell) Morefield.

Another thing I noticed recently is that Henry County borders Calloway, KY to the south. Graves, KY borders Calloway, KY to the west. Calloway, KY is where Green MFLD settled and Graves, KY is where Robert S. & Prudence (Irby) MFLD settled. Hmmm...

In Reply to: William Thomas Moorefield/Elizabeth Powell by Pat Greggs of 257

John W. Mo(o)refield is *probably* the son of Wright & Nancy (Stevens) Morefield. Sally Powell is very likely the d/o Joshua Powell, Sr. & Fanny Willingham Powell.

Rationale for claiming Wright as the father of John W.: census data suggests that John W. was born @1786. On the Halifax, VA Personal Property Tax Lists 1782-1832, the only "available" fathers for John W. were John, Sr., John, Jr., Wright & Edward. John, Sr. and John, Jr. both had known sons named John. That leaves Wright & Edward. Wright married Nancy Stevens in 1785; no marriage record has been found for Edward, but he first appeared on the tax lists in 1789. I therefore *speculate* that John W. was born about 1786 and was the son of John W. & Sally.

Rationale for claiming Joshua & Fanny Willingham Powell as the parents of Sally: John & Sally Morefield sued the Joshua Powell estate in 1813, Plea Book 30, p. 222.

In 1850 John W. & Sally were living in Henry Co, TN with their daughters. Living a few households away was Johusa Powell (Jr.), Sally's brother.

Mastin Jefferson Powell apparently was married twice. Note that the obituary of his son William Brooks Powell refers to a half-brother named John B. Powell. And, the obituary of John Bibb Powell refers to three half-sisters. It appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.
The 1850 US Federal Census (Caswell County, North Carolina) also lists a Mastin Powell (25, born in Caswell County, farmer), apparently with daughter Mary I. (3, born in Caswell County), and son John (1, born in Caswell County). These are children of the Mastin Jefferson Powell of this entry their mother would be Susan Hubbard.

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.

married Lucy A. Howard on 11 Dec 1859 in Caswell Co., NC.
Lucy was born in 1835 and died 25 Aug 1862 when her 2nd
child was born. The children of John and Lucy are Mary
Susan Neal (17 Nov 1861 - 05 Jul 1935) and William Howard
Neal (21 Aug 1862 - 28 Sep 1923). Mary Susan Neal married
John B. Powell in Caswell Co. on 29 Apr 1878. He was the
son of M. J. Powell and Susan. Susan Neal Powell is buried
in Shady Grove Methodist Church Cemetery. William Howard
Neal married Alma W. Hodges in Caswell Co. on 23 Feb 1898.
She was the daughter of J. T Hodges and Mattie. Wm. H.
Neal is buried in Moon Creek Primitive Baptist Church

Note the existence in this database of several entries that
would have the initials M. J. Powell, purportedly the
father of John B. Powell. Moreover, one of these entries,
Mastin James Powell married Susan Gillespie. See the Susan
referenced in the notes above. Accordingly, John Bibb
Powell (c.1850 - 1924) had been included as a son of Mastin
James Powell and Susan H. Gillespie. However, it appears
that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard,
and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both
wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.

J. B. Powell Dies After Long Illness

The death occurred this afternoon at 1:20 o'clock of John
Bibb Powell, at his home on East Paxton street, following a
lingering illness, being bedridden for about a year.
Deceased who was 74 years of age, had been a resident of
this city for the past six years, having removed here from
Caswell county where he was born. His death was due to a
complication of diseases and infirmities of age.

Besides his wife, who was formerly Miss Susie Neal, he is
survived by the following children: Mrs. L. T. Oakley,
Richmond; Mrs. Hunter Wults, Mrs. B. O. Lee, Mrs. Gene
Scearce, John Powell and Charles Powell, all of Danville;
also three half sisters: Mrs.
R. M. Hubbard, South Hill, S. C., Mrs. J. H. Slade, Purley,
N. C., and Mrs. John G. Lea of this city.

Announcement of the funeral will be made later, as
arrangements had not been made this afternoon.

Funeral of Mr. Powell

The funeral of J. Bibb Powell, who died on Thursday
afternoon at his home, 1012 West Paxton street, was
conducted yesterday afternoon at three o'clock from the
home, the remains being taken to the Shady church and
interred in the church cemetery. Rev. J. M. Shelburne
conducted the funeral.

The pall bearers were W. H. Wilson, J. L. Abbott, J. W.
Bray, Haskins McFall, Dr. Raymond Scruggs, J. R. Stevens,

Note the reference in the above obituary to half sisters,
which indicates that at least one of his parents was
married more than once. Also, the obituary of William
Brooks Powell (1853-1923) refers to a half-brother, John B.
Powell. As all the other siblings were younger than William
Brooks Powell, the also would have been half-siblings of
John Bibb Powell. Thus it appears that Susan H. Gillespie
is not the mother of John Bibb Powell, and that Susan
Hubbard was his mother. She apparently was the first wife
of Mastin James Powell.

John Bibb Powell (Mastin James Powell2, Jarrold Powell1)
was born ABT 1850, and died 30 JAN 1924 in Danville,

W. Brooks Powell Dies Unexpectedly

William Brooks Powell, for thirty-four years, a well-known
citizen of Danville, died unexpectedly at his home, 775
Main street, shortly before seven o'clock, Sunday night.
Mr. Powell, who was 70 years of age, had been in declining
health for five years, but his death was quite
unanticipated. He had been able to go out recently, and had
been engaged on tobacco market during the heavy period of
the past week. On Sunday morning he was taken ill and he
gradually grew worse during the day, his condition becoming
critical during the evening when life left him peacefully.

Mr. Powell was born in Caswell county March 4, 1853, being
a son of the late Mastin Jefferson Powell and Mrs. Susan
Gillespie Powell. He came to Danville thirty-four years
since, and engaged into the tobacco business, being a
re-handler and one of the veteran buyers of the market. He
was the oldest member of the Danville Tobacco Association,
and three years ago he was elected an honorary life member
of the organization. Mr. Powell was widely known, not only
among the tobacco fraternity of this city, but among the
farmers patronizing the Danville market for many miles
around. Mr. Powell was married about forty years ago to
Miss Florence Allen at Milton, who survives with three
children, Gordon B. Powell Danville, Mrs. Dan E. Hooker,
Greensboro, Mrs. Evelyn P. Skinner and Miss Colleen Powell.
Three sisters survive Mrs. John G. Lea, Danville, Mrs. J.
H. Slade, of Blanch, N. C., and Mrs. R. M. Hubbard, of
South Hill. He also leaves a half-brother John B. Powell.

The funeral will be held from the home at ten o'clock
Tuesday morning and will be conducted by the Rev. James M.
Shelburne. Interment will be in Green Hill cemetery.

William married Florence Fay Allen Abt 1883, Caswell County, North Carolina. Florence (daughter of Charles Jasper Allen and Sarah 'Sally' Powers) was born 16 Jul 1859, Milton, Caswell, North Carolina; died 7 Dec 1941, Danville Virginia; was buried , Green Hill Cemetery, Danville, Virginia.

She was the second wife of John Green Lea.

it is possible that Mildred Helen Powell and John Bibb

Mastin Jefferson Powell apparently was married twice. Note that the obituary of his son William Brooks Powell refers to a half-brother named John B. Powell. And, the obituary of John Bibb Powell refers to three half-sisters. It appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.
The 1850 US Federal Census (Caswell County, North Carolina) also lists a Mastin Powell (25, born in Caswell County, farmer), apparently with daughter Mary I. (3, born in Caswell County), and son John (1, born in Caswell County). These are children of the Mastin Jefferson Powell of this entry their mother would be Susan Hubbard.

Notes:

Source: The Bee newspaper, 21 November 1922 (Danville,
Virginia), from which the following is quoted:

Mrs. Annie Fuller Passes Away

Death unexpectedly yesterday afternoon [20 November 1922]
removed one of Danville's oldest residents, Mrs. Annie
Catherine Fuller who passed away quietly at 140 Main Street
at about half past two o'clock. She was 95 years of age.

Mrs Fuller last week had an attack of pneumonia but had
apparently overcome it. All day yesterday she was in bright
spirits and, as ever, keenly appreciative of everything
that was being done for her. She had just been talking to
her trained nurse when she lapsed into unconsciousness and
was dead within two or three minutes.

Mrs. Fuller had been an invalid for the past five years or
from the day she fell and broke her hip. Notwithstanding
this confinement she had remarkably well preserved
faculties and she remained fully conversant with world
affairs almost until her death. One of the most enjoyed
events of the day for her was perusal of the daily paper
which she read unaided maintaining interest in national and
world affairs and discussing them with discrimination.

Mrs. Fuller was a daughter of the late Carter Powell and
Sallie A. Moore, being born in Caswell County in the
distant year of 1827. she lived for some time at Blanche,
N.C., and then she moved to Bachelor's Hall. She was
married to A. G. Fuller in 1847 and moved to Danville in
1865 making her home here ever since. Her husband who died
about twelve years ago was prominently identified with
Danville's tobacco industry. They had seven children but
Mrs. Fuller outlived all but two, James E. Fuller and John
E. Fuller both of this city. She also leaves five grand
children, Albert Patton, W. F. Patton, Winston Edwards,
Miss Janie Edwards, and W. A. Fuller, and a great
grandchild.

Mrs. Fuller was for many years a member of Mount Vernon
Methodist Church being probably one of the oldest members.
During her early life here she was active in affairs and
was well known and widely esteemed. She was endowed with
many fine traits of character and through her lond period
of confinement had shown exemplary Christian fortitude.

The funeral will be held Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock
from the home on South Main Street.
