Looking for parents of George Washington Powers (b ~1836 in GA, died 1863 in AL) Powers who was married to Sarah Street.

Question

Cannot find any verifiable data on the Powers family before G.W. Powers who was born supposedly in GA in 1836, and definitely died in Tallapoosa, AL in 1863.  Any information would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Hi Robert, do you have a profile for either of them? Also as this is a worldwide site it is better to not abbreviate states.

Familysearch is a free site and has a number of records related to George, here is one

"United States, GenealogyBank Historical Newspaper Obituaries, 1815-2011", database, FamilySearch(https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q5Q5-Z92T : 26 June 2020), George M Powers, 1863.

Thank you Marion, this is the correct person.  I am pretty active on Familysearch, so I added this source to his profile.  Unfortunately, I can't see the article so I don't know if it mentions his parents.  Thank you again for the information.

Robert

Answer 2

Georgia did not supply BMD records till after 1900.

Sometimes death records give parents names,
