I'm a decendent of John Portman and Amanda Lyles Powell. My mother is Evelyn Cothran, her father was Duffie Lee Cothran and her mother was Alma Powell whose father was John Portman Powell. I would like to exchange what info I have on the Powells. I have some of the meeting notes from the Powell reunion that is held at Liberty Church for many years. Please contact me at rbrannon2960@charter.net.
