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.

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.

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.

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
(batsbelfry1@comcast.net).

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

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.

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.

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.

"I was about to give the same guess [as to the person for
whom Blanch, North Carolina was named], although I didn't
know that Blanche Moore's father had run the post office.
Blanche Moore was a cousin of my grandmother's, Lydia Anne
Watkins, and they were very close. I remember visiting
"Cousin Blanche" as a child when she lived in the house the
Moorefields own now. She was quite a lady, and Blanch can
be proud to be named for her! My grandparents built the
house in Blanch that Wayne and Linda Bray now own, and they
raised a family of 11 children. After he turned his dairy
farm over to a son, my grandfather also ran the post office
and train station there. It was before my day, but have
heard many stories of the "hobos" who road the trains
during and after the depression and stopped in the area. My
grandfather bought some beautiful pieces from peddlers who
rode through (former shop owners who had lost all but their
merchandise). Some of those things have been handed down
through the family."

She was not the first wife of Lea Holt. Obviously, not all
the children of Lea Holt listed in the various census
records were by Martha; however, several of the younger
ones could have been. Also note that the mother of Calvin
Lee Holt is believed to be Sarah Barksdale Powell. For him
to have married a person named Martha Barksdale Powell
raises the possibility of errors being made in ascribing
names to his mother and wife. Caution is advised.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF BEVERLEY HENRY HOLT

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS that I, BEVERLEY HENRY HOLT,
of the City of Norfolk, Virginia, being of sound and
disposing mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and
declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby
revoking any and all former Wills and Codicils heretofore
by me at any time made.

FIRST: I direct that all of my just debts, funeral
expenses, charges of administration and all taxes, both
Federal and State, be paid out of my residuary estate.
SECOND: All of the rest, residue and remainder of my
property and estate, real, personal, mixed, tangible and
intangible, and wheresoever situated, I give, devise and
bequeath unto my hereinafter named Executor as Trustee,
upon the following trust:
My said Executor and Trustee shall sell and dispose of all
of the said assets of my estate and convert the same into
cash and shall pay and distribute the net proceeds thereof,
after payment of all estate debts and expenses of
administration, unto the following named beneficiaries in
equal shares:
A one-fourth share unto my son, FRED E. HOLT, subject to
his being located, or his descendants being located as
hereinafter provided;
A one-fourth share unto my son, LESLIE E. HOLT, of Norfolk,
Virginia;
A one-fourth share unto my daughter, EDNA HOLT BEALE, of

A one-fourth share unto my son, ALVIN H. HOLT, of Norfolk,
Virginia.
Should any of my said children predecease me leaving issue
surviving, such issue shall take the parent's share, per
stirpes.
At the present time the whereabouts of my son, FRED E.
HOLT, is not known. I direct my said Executor and Trustee
to make a reasonable effort to locate my son, FRED E. HOLT,
after my decease, or to locate his then living descendants
should he have predeceased me, or have died prior to his
being located; should my Executor and Trustee be unable to
locate him within a period of five yars following my death,
or be unable to locate his descendants if he be dead, then
I give, devise and bequeath the one-fourth share provided
for him unto my other children then living and to the then
living descendants of any that may then be deceased, per
stirpes.
THIRD: The Executor and Trustee is hereby granted the usual
flexible powers granted to testamentary trustees, and is
hereby expressly granted the power to sell and dispose of

investment of the share of FRED E. HOLT during the period
of time allotted for his location, and the Trustee is not
confined to any particular list of securities but the

including common stocks, which, in the judgement of the
Trustee, is a good and proper investment, not requiring any
particular percentage of income.
FOURTH: I hereby nominate and appoint J. RANDOLPH DAVIS, of
Norfolk, Virginia, the Executor of this my Last Will and
Testament, and the Trustee of the above mentioned trust
provisions as to the share of FRED E. HOLT. Should he
predecease me, resign or otherwise fail to qualify, then in

upon any terms as to cash or credit, as he, in his
discretion, shall deem proper, and I hereby authorize him
to make all conveyances and to execute any legal documents
that may be necessary for the execution of this power as
fully as I myself could do were I alive.
