David,
My grandmother was Margaret Exedia Powers, born in Casey Co., KY in 1921. Her parents were Walter Lee (Sherman) POWERS (Sept 4, 1888 - May 10, 1975) and Ida Namomoe COFFMAN (b. Nov. 29, 1892 d. April 28, 1974).
Walter Lee POWERS' parents were Abner B. POWERS (b. May 31, 1854 d. July 24, 1924) and Amanda TAYLOR (b. Sept 29, 1855 d. Jan 19, 1921).And Abner B. POWERS' parents were Albert T. POWERS (b. may 20, 1820 in Virginia m. Sept 2, 1844) and Celvania HAFLEY (b. Feb 14, 1825 and d. March 16, 1895).
Ida Namomoe COFFMAN's parents were Benjamin Hardin COFFMAN (b. Jan 9, 1862 m. June 6, 1889, d. Dec 8, 1939) and Lillie ELLIS (B. jUNE 18, 1870 d. Aug 30, 1942)Benjamin Hardin COFFMAN's parents were Jacob COFFMAN (b. 1828 m. Feb 8, 1852 d. 1908) and Paulina Ann LYNN (b. 1833, d. Jan 10, 1891)Lillie ELLIS' parents were William J. ELLIS (b. 1836, m. April 22, 1858, d. May 26, 1902) and Pauline POWERS (B. 1842).I think Pauline POWERS' parents were Abner B. POWERS (b. in June 9, 1813 d. Jan 27, 1891) and Sarah SPRAGGINS (b. May 15, 1821 d. Dec 30, 1899) Supposedly Abner B. POWERS OF this line is son of William POWAR and wife Margaret and also brother to the aforementioned Albert T. POWERS.
Most of this research was done by my uncle before his death and unfortunately I don't know his sources.Mostly from talking to family and family records as he lived in Casey County.But he did do research at the family history centres.
Does this tie into your lines???
(Also, I have a newspaper clipping of the Spragens School 1930-1931 which shows a class picture of the children and there are some Russells shown (no first names) Could they be related to you??)
