Notes
1. Bolling and Powell connection: Moses Powell moved from Pennsylvania to North Carolina in 1766 around the area of Raleigh. His son Henry moved to Greenville, Butler County, Alabama in 1774 – he had 15 children. His 5th child, William married Mary Ann Yeldell in 1824. Their son Jonathan Lewis Powell born 1836 married Lucinda Elizabeth Bolling, daughter of Samuel Jackson Bolling in 1861. Their son (our grandfather) John Bolling Powell was born in 1862. He married Virginia Reid in 1881. John was the oldest child of Johnathan Powell whereas Virginia was the youngest child of Archibald Reid.
2. The Samuel Bolling family divided in the middle 1700’s with the line rejoining in 1881 through the marriage of John Bolling Powell and Virginia Reid.
3. A final note: In my research into this lineage I found a comment in some data on the Powells that is worth the effort to list. It is a connection to great grandfather Powell and his Civil War service. It stated that he was in the 17th Alabama Infantry Regiment in Captain Burnett’s Company, and later promoted to captain. In reviewing the records of the 17th Alabama I found him listed as John L. Powell rather than Jonathan L. Powell. I am sure this is the same person for the family history and the 17th Alabama records track.
He enlisted on April 1, 1862 and was assigned to Captain Burnett’s
Company B as a private. At this time he was 25 years old. However, on
July 25, 1862 he was elected to 1st Lieutenant, later promoted to captain
of Company C on April 10, 1865 during the reorganization of the
Regiment just prior to the end of the war. He was involved in the battles
at Pensacola and Shiloh, spent a lengthy assignment in Mobile, involved
in all the Atlanta Campaigns, and the battles of Franklin and Nashville,
and the final surrender on April 26, 1865 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
He was wounded in the left foot and had a toe amputated. This occurred
in the battle of Peachtree Creek near Atlanta. He was also listed as being
in the hospital with dibilitas, which is “a condition of the body in which
there is a weakening of the vital signs.” This sounds like exhaustion to
me. He was paroled May 1, 1865, and was present at the Confederate
Veterans Reunion in Greenville on August 21, 1897.
A side note in this regard: Hillary Herbert Reid (older brother to grandmother Powell) was also in the 17th Alabama, but in Company K. He enlisted some five months after great grandfather Powell. It is obvious they knew each other since they were 2nd cousins four years apart in age and from the same town.
