I just found out that my great-grandmother's maiden name was Powers (I was previously given another name but found evidence to the contrary) The farthest back I can go is the 1870 Census for Copiah Co. Ms 1870 Census, Copiah Co. Mississippi name age born Powers, John 31 New York Mary A. 28 Mississippi James E. 9 " George Ann 6 " Also, for John Powers, the columns are marked saying both of his parents were foreign born, and he could not read or write. He was born <1839> in New York. This is where I'm at a dead end. I can't find any other instances of John Powers, or his son James E. Powers, and I don't know what Mary A. Powers' maiden name is. I do follow Mary Powers and her daughter Georgia in TN 1880 Perry Co., TN Powers, Mary A. age 36 born Mississippi Powers, Georgia A. (daughter) age 15 born Mississippi In the 1900 Census my G-Grandmother (Georgia) has already married my G-Grandfather (married 01-March-1893), and living with them are their 2 children and "Mother-In-Law" Mary Powers It shows: 1900 Gibson Co., TN Smith, H.M. (Head) Dec 1847 52 Georgia (Wife) Dec 1864 35 Eddie (Son) Dec 1893 6 Meary (daughter) Mar 1896 4 Powers, Mary (Moth-In-Law)Feb 1845 55 It says that Mary Powers had 3 children and 2 are still living. I've been told that Mary Powers was born 27-Feb-1842 MS died in Gibson Co., TN 31-May-1909 Does anyone have any information about this family? Notify Administrator about this message?
