POWERS, FORES
I am searching for connections with POWERS families in your area back to present day Marion and Darlington Counties in SC and Robeson County, NC.

Giles POWERS was granted land along Catfish Creek in Craven County (now Marion county),SC in the early 1700s. John POWERS in 1823 sold to Joel FORES land along Catfish Creek which was originally granted to Giles POWERS.

John POWERS (called Jacky) and Wife Darcus, with a family of 5 sons and 1 daughter, left Marion District in 1825 and settled in Henderson Co., TN. Five to six years later, his brother Bennett and family moved to Henderson Co. Jacky was born in 1782. Reference History Of Tennessee, by Goodspeed, and Henderson Co. Census records from 1830 through 1860.

The 1800 census for Marion District shows 2 John POWERS. The 1810 census lists John POWERS, Sr. and John POWERS, Jr. Also shown in the 1810 census for Marion Co. are James, Darby, and Archabald POWERS. There were also related families who had spread into Darlington Co., SC and Robeson Co., NC.

Some of the older people in Henderson Co. said that the POWERS families followed the course of the Tennessee River through Alabama, and up into West Tennessee. We expect other families of this POWERS line may have settled in other areas of West and Middle TN and are searching for connections.

Any helpful information will be appreciated, and I am willing to share information - Landal
