Biography

^[1]Mary Epps Powell (2nd cousin to Thomas Jefferson). Mary died and David took in and maried a widow , Susannah Carter, with several young children. Mastin and Susannah's daughter Polly hit it right off and were married in 1796 when Polly was probably about 15.

Mastin was 20. Never found a marriage record, suspect they were spirited away to NC (just across the river) for a shotgun marriage. David died in 1801, Susannah burned his will (we think) and claimed the widow's share of David's considerable estate.

Mastin (probably born Martin but never used the right name) moved to another area of Halifax County and built a stagecoach inn with a bar and a racetrack. He raised a lot of tobacco and made a lot of money. He and Polly had lots of kids.

Eventually Susannah died and Mastin was appointed executor of Davids's estate in 1815. I descend from mastin's youngest son, William Jefferson Powell. North central North Carolina is populated with descendants of mastin's other kids, particularly his first-born, Carter Glass Powell who was a prolific planter in Caswell county.

Second wife: Susannah Bigger married David Powell after Richard Carter's Death; after David Powell's Death, she married 3rd, Thomas Watkins.

These Carters and Powells have been aligned for more than 100 years. -Mary Frances Eggleston

This info says that Mary Carter, d/o Lemuel and Patsy Powell b 1805 is the Mary Carter who married Isaac Satterfield who was the Trustee of the estate of Mastin Powell. Mastin Powell and Patsy Powell who married Lemuel Carter are both the children of David Powell and Mary Eppes....Mary Carter-d/o-Lemuel Carter-father; ISAAC SATTERFIELD WAS THE SON OF THE FOLLOWING SAMUEL SATTERFIELD AND NANCY CARTER; MARY CARTER WAS THE DAUGHTER OF LEMUEL CARTER.

Lemuel Carter and Mary "Polly" Carter are both children of Susannah Bigger and Richard Carter. Undoubetly, Lemuel named his daughter Mary, for his sister who was Mastin Powell's wife. Also, Mary is also the name of Patsy Powell's mother, Mary Eppes who was David Powell's 1st wife. Remember, Susannah Bigger married David Powell after the death of Richard Carter.
