== Some Family Ancestry== Samuel Powel(III) was the grandson of Samuel Powell(I) and Abigail Wilcox [Samuel Powell's(I) father <b>May Have Been</b> <i>[The Pennsylvania magazine of history and biography, Volume 8, Issues 1-4, Beplies. Samuel Powell (I), (Vol. vii, p. 495). —A. S. M. states that he knows nothing of Samuel Powell's(I) parentage nor whence he came. From some investigations made by me 1 find that he came of a Somersetshire family, many of the name, and apparently his kinsmen, being resident in the parish of North Curry and its neighborhood. Samuel Powell's aunt. Ann Powell, of North Curry, married John Parsons, of Middlezoy, at Greinton, 6 mo. 23, 1685. The places named are in Somerset ( Vide Book A, p. 4, Records, Mo. Meeting of Friends, Arch Street, Philadelphia). Samuel's(I) father was William Powell (<b>died in 1735 (error:This was the date of his sons death)</b>, will recorded at Philadelphia). This William had gone up to London before the year 1681. and was then engaged in the cooperage businesss in the suburb of Southwark. He was evidently a man of means, and probably left England chiefly on account of the persecution which it appears befell his family (Vide Besse's Sufferings of Friends, "Powells of Somerset"). He was an original purchaser of land under Penn to the extent of twelve hundred acres and over (Vide Patents, 1081 et seq., Philadelphia)].</i> His son, Samuel(I), besides inheriting paternal estate, was one of the heirs of his aunt Ann Parsons (will recorded. Philadelphia, Book C, p. 331). He was a great builder—the well-known " rich carpenter" of his day. At his death, in 1756, he left a large landed estate, and the reputation of having been one of the greatest contributors to the growth of Philadelphia, and to its material and moral improvement (Pa. Gazette, July 1, 1756). His wife was Abigail, daughter of Barnabas Wilcox. By her he had a son, Samuel Powel (II) (.tic, one " 1," either for distinction from others of the name or a reversion to the spelling of former generations; vide Besse). This Samuel married Mary, daughter of Anthony Morris. 9 mo. 9, 1732. He was a merchant of Philadelphia, and the grantor of Friends' Meeting, Pine Street. His son was Samuel Powel(III). of Powelton, Speaker of the Assembly, and the patriot Mayor of Philadelphia during the Revolutionary times. Mr. Powel was a man of wealth, culture and influence. He abjured Quakerism, married, but died childless, the last male of his line. His death occurred in 1793.P. S. P. Conner. April 11, 1884. 126 S. Eighteenth St., Phila. More on William: <i>[Replies WILLIAM POWELL Vol VII p 495 Vol VIII p 120 In a very interesting account of Samuel Powell by Mr PSP Conner published in the March number of your Magazine I notice a slight error in the date of the death of his father William Powell The original purchase of land made by William Powell which Mr Conner names was principally located on the west bank of the Schuylkill River opposite what was afterwards known as the Spring Garden District of Philadelphia In the year 1692 he started a ferry from his house on the west bank of the Schuylkill for the accommodation of persons living in the country back of him The ferry however being deemed an infringement of the privileges of Philip England who had previously established one a short distance below a complaint was made during the following year and William Powell summoned to appear before the Governor and Council who restrained him from continuing his ferry In the year 1695 however the Assembly granted him permission to establish a ferry from his house on the west side of the Schuylkill which was afterwards known as the Upper Ferry William Powell had four children of whom we have note John who in 1706 is spoken of as keeping the Upper Ferry Elizabeth Samuel and William William Powell died 2d mo 30th 1721 His son William died in 1735 the date given by Mr Conner]</i></div>

[Let me stop here because P.H.P. Conner is changing his mind about the Ancestry of Samuel Powell. We cannot assume that he was right with his first findings because he was wrong about the death dates he published, all we can say is he uncovered evidence that William Powell was the Ancestor to Samuel, and that evidence was corroborated independently by W.H.J. that had corrected his errors, any other information from Conner is subject to those errors.

However this did not end the dispute, which came with the Mason-Dixon survey. The map is reproduced in Schwartz (2000) and Pritchard & Taliaferro #23 dated 1732 and is probably the map listed on page 671 of Phillips dated 1733. Mathews says there are several versions of this map, a plain wood cut, a colored wood cut, a copper plate print, and manuscript copies. The woodcut version was made in 1733 by Benjamin Franklin on a commission from the Penns; five hundred copies were printed and it is sometimes claimed this was the first map printed south of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state>.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">"English and Scotch-Irish Pioneers of Old Conestoga and Their Descend- ants." He spoke as follows: By scanning the historic pages of early <st1:city w:st="on">Lancaster</st1:city> county we find that among the pioneer settlers in this locality were numerous families which came here from the <st1:place w:st="on">British Isles</st1:place>. We also find, however, that for some reason they did not remain here long, most of them migrating from here to the neighborhood of the "Donegal Meeting-house," around which were grouped many of their old-time friends, most of whom were Presbyterians, and perhaps selected that locality eo as to be near their place of worship. From thence they scattered to points farther west, some going to Cumberland, Juniata and Allegheny counties, while others pushed still farther into the undeveloped country of the Middle Western States. History tells us that there were no white settlers in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Lancaster</st1:city></st1:place> county be- fore 1708 or 09. However, there were a few traders scattered along the Susquehanna as early as 1703, these being Peter Bazilion, Jos. Jessop,, James Letort and Martin Chartier, all French; one, Mitchell, a Swiss; Nicole Godin, an active young fellow, reputed to be a sneak, and one, Frauciscus. In 1705, Thos. Chalkley, an eminent Quaker preacher, of Nottingham, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Chester</st1:city></st1:place> county, made a visit ro Conestoga, preaching to the Indians (through an interpreter) of the crucifixion of Christ and the saving power of Jesus. In 1706, Governor John Evans, who had come to America with Penn, fearing that the Indians at Conestoga might be alienated (256) on account of the warfare between the French and English, visited" this place and was warmly received. In 1707 Governor Evans again visited Conestoga, but on this visit he was found to he a traitor, for he was permitting French Papists from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place> to trade with the Indians and seduce them from the English interests. In this, as well as other instances, it was shown that he was guilty of conduct far beneath the dignity of his position; so much so that the Legislature sent a petition to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region> asking for his removal, which request was granted, and Charles Gookin was named as his successor. In 1709 Governor Gookin made his first visit to Conestoga and was much impressed with the attachment the Indians showed toward the English. In 1711 he made a second visit to this place. In 1715 Rev. Chalkley again visited and preached to these Indians. In 1717, Sir William Kieth, who succeeded Governor Gookin, visited Conestoga, as he also did in 1722. Having told you about the various visits made by the early English pioneers to this vicinity, we are now about to take up the subject of Indian traders, and, if possible, trace the line of descent of the English and Scotch-Irish down to the present generation. It is always interesting to note the movement of population and to trace the records of early settlers and settlements in any locality, particularly when the period covered is several centuries as in the case in this in- stance. However, to forge a connecting link between the families of those early pioneers and those of the present generation is an undertaking of no diminutive degree. ( 257 ) The earliest Indian traders to locate here were Canadian Frenchmen, the first of whom was Martin Chartier, who married an Indian squaw, and in 1708 died and was buried in Washing- ton Borough, leaving all his property to his son, Peter, who likewise married an Indian squaw. Then followed Joseph Jessop, Peter Bazilion and James Letort. After the Frenchmen came the two Cartlidge brothers, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Edmond</st1:city></st1:place> and John, the only Quakers who were known to be traders. They resided in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Chester</st1:city></st1:place> county as early as 1698. We now reach that part in the historic annals of our county when the Scotch-Irish and English appear on the frontier. In the list of taxables for 1718, we find that forty-one Englishmen had previously located here- abouts, including the single men, or freemen, as they are significantly called. Among these we find that James Patterson, a native of Salisbury, Eng- land, located in Conestoga-Manor, about one mile east of Washington Borough, where he had a trading post; also, large tracts of land on the east and west sides of the river. The western part of his land was cleared and fenced for grazing. It was here where he kept his pack horses with which he "brought his purchased pelts from along the <st1:place w:st="on">Potomac</st1:place>. The Governor of Maryland, claiming all the land west of the Susquehanna as part of their domain, sent Colonel Cresap, with his band of ruffians, to take possession of this western tract. Cresap began laying claim by killing Patterson's horses. Patterson made a vigorous defense, saying that he would wade in blood up to his knees before he would allow Cresap to drive him away from there. These troubles, however, broke (258) up the west side trading post, which was a great loss to Patterson. This was the beginning of the border troubles, which led to Cresaps' war.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Their village was called Pequea, a form of Piqua. The Assiwikales (Hathawekela) were a part. of the later migration. This, together with the absence of the Shawnee names Chillicothe and Mequachake east of the Alleghanies, would seem to show that the Carolina portion of the tribe belonged to the first named divisions. The chief of Pequea was Wapatha, or Opessah, who made a treaty with Penn at Philadelphia in 1701, and more than 50 years afterward the Shawnee, then in Ohio, still preserved a copy of this treaty. There is no proof that they had a part in Penn's first treaty in 1682."Kevin Lajinesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10901933706230342994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011079850521893581.post-69803319471958049782010-03-04T17:22:00.000-08:002010-03-04T17:22:05.250-08:00Full text of "Assessment lists and other manuscript documents of Lancaster County prior to 1729"<a href="http://www.archive.org/stream/assessmentlistso00eshlrich/assessmentlistso00eshlrich_djvu.txt">Full text of "Assessment lists and other manuscript documents of Lancaster County prior to 1729"</a>: "<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">PEQUEA </span>LIST <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1720-21</span>.

A John Powell was charged with inviting the Indians, and was 'to go to Shuano town on Potomack, commonly called Opessa’s Town”; he was provided calico shirts and scarlet worsted stockings to be used as gifts to help induce the Indians to attend. The purpose of the proposed council was to negotiate with the Shawnee over returning slaves they had been harboring - but the Shuano (Shawnee) Indians chose not to show up on the appointed date, and Anderson’s partner Israel Friend was sent back to invite them to visit Annapolis instead (Archives of Md, vol. 25 p 443, 451). Opessa’s Town is now called Oldtown, located on the Potomac River between Hancock and Cumberland, Maryland, about 50 miles west of Shepherdstown. Charles Anderson had been in the Indian trading business since at least 1712, when he was recorded as entering into a lawsuit in Cecil Co, Maryland, with the widow of Indian trader Jacque LeTort, who lived at the Indian town at Conestoga, Pennsylvania (see Diller, n.d). Charles Anderson had been involved with negotiations over these same slaves since at least 1722 when the Maryland Council, hearing he was in Annapolis, had asked him to go to the Shuano town (Oldtown) with gifts of coats and socks, and a promise of a 'chain of friendship' for 'so long as the sun and moon shall endure,' especially if they would give the slaves back (Md Archives, vol 25, p. 395)."Kevin Lajinesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10901933706230342994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011079850521893581.post-88775536811749642512010-03-01T17:01:00.000-08:002010-03-06T05:31:53.782-08:00Minutes of the Board of property and other references to lands in Pennsylvania By William Henry Egle<a href="http://books.google.com/books?ei=xFGSS4vSBYvKzgTK3pSIAw&cd=8&dq=%22Margaret%22%20%22John%20Powell%22%201736&q=Monday%20the%2031st%20of%20August%201767&id=sB0UAAAAYAAJ&output=text&pg=PA189">Pennsylvania archives - Google Books</a>: "At a Meeting of the Board at the Land Office on Monday the 31st of August 1767.<br />

Ibberson Conservation Area"History The land of the conservation area has been inhabited for over 11,000 years. The nearby Shoop Site is one of the largest and oldest Paleo-Indian sites in eastern North America. The Shoop Site is unusual in that it is near a hilltop and not in the floodplain, like most Paleo-Indian sites. Archaeologists theorize that the Paleo-Indians were hunting migrating caribou. It is interesting that most of the stone tools found at the site were made from stone found 250 miles north in New York. Subsequent inhabitants used the Shoop Site as a temporary shelter or hunting camp. Other Indians occupying or passing through the area were the Shawnee, Nanticoke, Lenni Lenape and Iroquois League of Six Nations. The Susquehannock Indians claimed the land at the time European settlers arrived at Peters Mountain and Powell's Valley. Thousands of artifacts from the Shoop Site are exhibited in the Smithsonian Institution and the Pennsylvania State Museum. The Shoop Site is on private land and is not open to the collecting of artifacts. In 1726, Peter Allen built a stone home on the south side of the mountain, which has since been called Peters Mountain. North of the conservation area is <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Powell's Creek and Powell's Valley, named for Margaret Powell who owned the land at the creek mouth in the 1760s</span>. South of the conservation area is Clark's Valley, named for early landowner William Clark. Clark owned 585 acres that later became the Stackpole Farms at the intersection of PA 225 and PA 325. The Augusta Road, now PA 225, was an alternate route north to avoid passing too close to the Susquehanna River. The river route was a travel route often used by American Indians and could be dangerous when there were strained relations with the American Indians. The Peter Allen House, the stone house at the intersection of PA 225 and PA 325, was built in 1726 by Peter Allen. It is the oldest house in Dauphin County. It was a tollhouse, hotel and stagecoach stop. The house is currently privately owned. A second very old house is along the Augusta Road, north of Peters Mountain by Powell's Creek, at the intersection of PA 225 and Back Road. This tollhouse and stagecoach stop was a safe place to stop before or after crossing Peters Mountain. William and Alice Zeider now own and occupy the house. A portion of the Victoria Trail passes through the southeastern corner of the conservation area and intersects the Appalachian Trail. The Victoria Trail connected the nearby Victoria Iron Furnace to some of its timber supply. The furnace was on the south side of Peters Mountain in Clark's Valley and was in operation from 1830 to 1857. The land was repeatedly logged to supply wood for charcoal for the furnace.

Lancaster Town Laid Out<br />
<br />
In an article signed 'Investigator'' the origin and the laying out of Lancaster Town is detailed. V. 8 p. 60. The writer states, 'Governor Hamilton<br />
<br />
made an offer of two places one known as the 'high plain' also by<br />
<br />
the name of Gibson's Pasture and afterwards 'Sanderson's Pasture' at present (1831) the property of John Montgomery, Esq. The other situation was the Hill side extending from its summit on the east to Roaring Brook on the west covered with woods. The public road ran through it, and Gibson's house of entertainment would be included, which stood nearly opposite a fine spring communicating with the dark swamp and with the <span style="color: #ff6666;">widow Buchanan's</span> cake and beer house situate near where the road crossed the brook. There were several springs and the brook was thought favorable for the erection of water machinery. The spot was fixed upon and the plot of Lancaster made in 1730 in regular squares, open lots were reserved, in the center and adjoining the public square, for the court house, public offices, market, etc. The long swamp (which ran in the rear of Dr. DuFresne) was drained by a ditch cut into roaring brook The springs no longer run but a pump was in Mr. Rathfon's placed in one spring, at a short depth and which yields water of an excellent quality. It is thought that with little expense water could be obtained from four or five such sources and would supply our whole city for every purpose that might possibly be required.'<br />
<br />
On page 101 of the same Volume, a reprint from the Lancaster Miscellany, gives us additional facts on the origin_ot' our town. The writer says that from examining documents, etc., that, 'The' first deed for lots in the town of Lancaster, bear date 1735. We remark the names of Tacob Funk and Frederick Stroble and John Powell. The date of their <span style="color: red;">deeds is May 20th, 1735. John Powell's lot </span>was situated at the corner of Orange and Duke Streets. Dr. DuFresne resides on and owns the lot of Fred Stroble. George Gibson's date of deed is 14th Jan., 1740, for lot No. 221.<br />
<br />
Governor Powell writes (apparently in 1754), 'The house in which Gibson resides, is opposite a spring, and was included in the original town-plot—a swamp lay in front, another of some extent lay to the north.'<br />
<br />
'The question arises where lay the swamp north of Gibson's. We are informed that it was situate back of Dr. DuFresne's but upon further inquiry we learn that it was back of the yellow frame house in which the Doctor formerly resided situate on Duke Street between Orange and Chestnut, the remains of which were filled up by direction of Dr. DuFrcsne. Several fine springs are still in existence in the vicinity of the swamp, one on the lot occupied by Judge Hays, and three others. The passage that was cut to Roaring P.rook appears to have been from the Spring at Judge Hays'. The run was called by the Germans Noisy Water. Gibson's pasture was leased by Hamilton to Adam Reigart, An old letter mentions the 'log cabin of widow Buchanan.' Her name is not among the purchasers. The swamp must have been in the square bounded by Duke, Queen, Chestnut and Orange Streets.' V. 8 p. 101. Another article on Lancaster Town (V. 6 p. 265) states that a hickory tree stood in the center of the town under which the Indian Councils met and it was from one of these councils that a deputation was sent to confer with Wm. Penn at Shackamaxon. <span style="color: red;">The Indian nation was called 'Hickory' and the town was called Hickory Town before Lancaster was laid out. Gibson had a hickory tree painted upon his sign about 1722 and his tavern was situated near where the Slaymaker's Hotel now stands and the spring was nearly opposite</span>. Another Indian town was located on a flat of land northeast of Hardwicke, the seat of William Colcman. A poplar tree was the emblem of the tribe. The wigwam was situated upon the Cpnestoga."Kevin Lajinesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10901933706230342994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011079850521893581.post-76274175760644013072010-02-21T19:39:00.000-08:002010-02-22T20:33:38.432-08:00Papers read before the Lancaster ... - Google Books<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=rhcVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA277&lpg=PA277&ots=dBUHfbvCa5&output=text#c_top">Papers read before the Lancaster ... - Google Books</a>: "This settlement differed from the Pequea settlement to the east. While the Pequea colony, at Willow Street, were all Swiss Mennonites, the settlement on Conestoga consisted of a Scotch-Irish and English core, bordering on both sides of that river, surrounded by scores of German-Swiss on all sides.<br />
<br />
Now who were these old Conestoga neighbors of Postlethwaite's time? Who lived within a radius of five or six miles from this place in the days when our first Courts were held here and before?<br />
<br />
Of English and Scotch-Irish realdents, starting with John Postlethwaite and his grown up son/William, and passing up the Conestoga river on the eastern side, dwelling in consecutive order on or near the 'Great Road,' there were: James Hendricks,' John Hendricks, Tobias Hendricks, Thomas Baldwin,' Thomas Gale,' George Gray,28 John LinvilP (all owners of parts of the James Hendricks tract), John Farrer,30 Richard Grist,' John Grist,11 Wm. Hughes,' Edmund Cartlidge,' <span style="color: red;">John Powell</span>,' Thomas Doyle,' Stephen Atchlson' and James Lewis.**<br />
<br />
The Scotch-Irish and English people across from the above Postlethwaite's, on the Manor side, were Thomas and Reese Price, Alexander and Samuel Ritchey,' Joshua Low,' Daniel McConnell' and Alexander Beuse,' practically all of whose lands adjoined the stream.<br />
<br />
On the Conestoga side, going down the stream from Postlethwalte's, there were Robert <span style="color: red;">Wiltons</span>,' Thomas <span style="color: red;">Wiltons</span>,' David Priest,' James Dawson,' Richard Carter' Patrick Keregan.' And some what separated from the others and over toward Pequea creek, near Susquehanna, were Peter Kline,' Peter Creamer,' Francis Worley,' Joseph Rebman' and Robert Baker.'"Kevin Lajinesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10901933706230342994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011079850521893581.post-80477776510614623422010-02-21T19:06:00.000-08:002010-02-21T19:08:19.575-08:00John Powell Follows Trade Routes and Waterways<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BpUUSTzNJZ8/S4H01pDfidI/AAAAAAAAkiM/CDqhf6MTKFc/s1600-h/Pequea,+PA+to+Spring+Garden...jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="505" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BpUUSTzNJZ8/S4H01pDfidI/AAAAAAAAkiM/CDqhf6MTKFc/s400/Pequea,+PA+to+Spring+Garden...jpg" style="height: 571px; width: 507px;" width="424" /></a><br />
