I am doing research on an ancestor Lydia Powers, tenth and youngest child of Jonas and Jerusha (Harmon) Powers. She married James Allen Newberry (1780-1841) in Wythe County, Va. in 1805. In my research I have come across information on others in the line from Walter to her. Interestingly, WT profiles are under various PM's. Has there been any attempt to coordinate data. I don't want to start messin' with others' work. For instance, would you mind, a couple of tidbits I found on this Wm. ? E.g.: "As eldest son, he inherited the home place with saw mill and undoubtedly found burial in the family plot, the stones marking the graves having been destroyed." (Information you referenced in your excellent bio/history of his father.) From An American Family History, the Powers' family web: anamericanfamilyhistory.com Donna
