Surnames: Powell, Bear, & Eby
Can anyone identify the A. Powell listed in the household of Henry & Betsy Powel? I am trying to identify where my GGGrandfather was born and his ancestry. His date of birth is Nov 18, 1840. He married Nancy Bear of Blenheim. Marriage took place in Lynn, St. Clair, Michigan on September 02, 1860. His mother is listed as Sarah Ann Eby. Any help is greatly appreciated.

In case you haven't found the info yet, the A probably is for their daughter Asenath who was born around 1851/2. She married William Carr in June, 1875. I am descended from Henry & Betsey's eldest daughter, Mary Jane.

Thank you for your reply! That will definitely rule out this as my GGG Fathers parents.

Are your Powell's from Ireland originally? Henry Powell was born in Macroom, Cork in 1808. I'm not sure when he came to Canada but he married Betsey in Burlington and then they settled in East Oxford.

Not that I know of, all I can document is that Absalom Powell was born in Ontario, Canada on 18 Nov 1840. On his death certificate his mother is listed as Sarah Ann Eby, just "Powell" listed as father. Absalom married Nancy Bear 2 Sept 1860 in Lynn, St. Clair County, Michigan.

I know I have run across the name Absalom Powell - he's a bit more visible in the records than my gr-gr-gr grandfather Henry. There are also Powells in Ontario who were Loyalists, especially around Norfolk County (among other locales).

I have not been able to find an Absalom at all in Canada! If run across him again please shoot me an email. cltaylor9127@yahoo.com

I have traced them in Michigan and have their info for there. I cannot find Absalom Powell in Canada prior to 1860. According to his birth certificate he was born in Ontario Canada. I would like to find out where and who was his father? Mother is listed as Sarah Ann Eby.
