My line comes down through Joel, via Sampson Smiley and then Levi, Alonzo, Charles Deighton, to my grandfather James.
I just remembered that I have pictures of some Powers headstones, taken in cemeteries in Highgate, Fairfield, and Franklin. I'll start a new thread once I get them uploaded.
Have fun at the Vital Records in Vermont! Take plenty of note paper, or plenty of $$. The cost for printing a copy is $3 or I think $10 for a certified. I was there this summer and found tons of useful and interesting info. I was tracing another line so wasn't concentrating on the powers line, but will be going back again for that. The staff are VERY helpful.
