Note the age gap between Sarah b. @1823 and Mary b. @1834, Elvira b.

Elizabeth Morefield m. Lewis Redden 1846 Henry, TN; the only MFLD in Henry, TN in 1850 was John W.'s.
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.

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.

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.
