Malcolm Osmer and I are trying to resolve a potential merge between a couple of Ruth Powers.  His profile has mom,dad,siblings and mine has husband and kids.  The only common links are her name, where she's from (Acton, Massachusetts) and a similar birth date.  Note: the Acton reference in my profile is just in the source.  The merge is proposed so you can follow the Powers' link here and do a compare if you like.

So, we're looking for a couple more tidbits so we can either okay this or reject it.  Would be nice to find a source that has mom, dad and spouse.  Thanks for any help.

I don't know if any of this will actually confirm the two women, it just seems to possibly connect some dots.

Records of Littleton, MA   Gideon Powers b. July 28, 1731/-2; m. 1759 Ruth Hosmer, Acton. (p. 418)

Acton Marriages:  POWARS, Gidion and Ruth Hosmer, int. Sept. 3, 1757. (p. 210)

Acton Births: POWARS, Ruth, d. Gideon and Ruth, May 1, 1767. (p. 90)

Nathaniel Powers, son of Ezekiel and Lucy Townsend Powers, b. April 27, 1760 married  1784 Ruth Powers of Acton.   (p. 113) (p. 208) Neither page lists her parents.   Mentions Blood’s History stating hse had 10 children – record lost, but it lists three Nathaniel, Ruth and Samuel.  From: History and genealogy of the Jewetts of America

DAR.org lists Nathaniels wife as Ruth Powers b. 1767 died 1843>
