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?
