DEATHS: I know that the above Joseph POWER born 1780, Thomas POWER born 1785 and James Power born 1790 were brothers. I want to know if the other names are their siblings with the two top names being maybe Grandfather William and then Father John. I have a book " Descendants of Alexander POWER of Laurens County, South Carolina" compiled and published by Lucien L. McNees in 1967.. The book is 195 pages including the index. In this book there are three people shown with names and dates of birth just like on this sheet of paper. They are William POWER born 1770; Elesabeth POWER born 1772 & Alexander POWER born 1774 and the names are one after the other at the top. Could the names from the sheet of paper out of the bible and the people in the Alexander POWER book be the same family? I do know that some of the people that are listed in this book still do live in S. C. I went to Columbia to do research and found some families and visited with them. Alexander POWER was married to Sallie MOORE and he bought land on Warrior Creek a few miles from Laurens and they are buried in the cemetery at Warrior Creek Baptist Church in the old part of the cemetery, only sandstone mark their graves The author of the above book, Lucien L. McNees, states that his ancestor Edwin POWER lived for awhile in S. C.; his daughter, Marget POWER was born in S. C. 1776, she married Lewis ELLISON in Tenn. abt 1796 and they moved to Winston Co., Miss. He says "My ancestor came from Ireland, no doubt he was related to Alexander POWER". He goes on to say "I am almost sure my POWER ancestor was related to Holloway POWER. Lewis ELLISON named one of his boys Holloway Power ELLISON" Another book I own is "The Power and Allied Families" by Paul Edwin Power written in 1979. This book also starts with POWER familes in Laurens Co, S. C. starting with Pennington POWER born 14 Dec 1793; John Wesley POWER & Holloway POWER just to name a few.. Unfortunately, in the POWER family, there are so many members with the same name generation and generation until it is almost impossible to trace without a DOB . I am in hopes that someone out there will see this post and help me identify these names. If anyone knows of any other books that have been done on the 'POWER" Family, please let me know. If you have done any genealogy, have any history whatsoever on the POWER family or know of any one who has, please notify me.
