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.

John T. Neal was born 20 Mar 1838 and died 25 Jun 1864. He
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
Cemetery. [The Beaver Pond Neals of Virginia by Carl B.
Neal, March 1965.] Source: Kathleen Dawson

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,
F. A. Gourley.
The flower bearers were John Travis, Gordon Powell, Will
Connor, Henry Wilson, W. N. Perkinson, P. L. Anderson,
Harry Nobley, J. E. Lawrence, Dorsey Fowlkes, J. H. Ellis,
Holland Fowkles, J. D. Pruitt, G. E. Bondurant, J. W.

L. Minter, J. W. Davis, C. E. Abbott, Charles Giles, Henry
Weedman, E. T. Ashworth and C. P. Scarce.
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,
Virginia. He married Mary Susan Neal 29 APR 1878 in Caswell

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.

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.
