Biography
Robert Powell was a Virginia colonist.
This profile is part of the Powell Name Study.
Pending further research, removed Margaret Coghill as the mother of this Robert Powell, since she was only about 3-5 years of age at Robert's birth. Prisley-1 13:53, 12 May 2019 (UTC) [No, her profile lists that she was born BEFORE 1665 not IN 1665]
Robert Powell was the husband of Sarah Taylor (daughter of James Taylor, the Elder). They married probably around 1690. At the time of her father's death in 1698, Sarah had born four children, three of whom had died: John, Robert, and an unnamed child. Their surviving son and children born after 1698 are believed to have been:
- James
- Benjamin
- Ambrose, b 1714
- Charles (who was named in Robert's will)
- John O. (who was named in Robert's will)

Powell-6473 and Powell-116 appear to represent the same person because: same wife, similar death, needs primary sources for dates once merge is completed.
