Descendant List - William C POWELL - 9 Mar 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Note:  None of this family structure is proven!  The children attributed 
to him and the ones listed on censuses were born from 1820 - 1862.  If they are 
all his (and some are questionable!), there must have been several wives.
