Hi, in my search of Powell families in Montgomery County,
TN, I came across guardianship papers for the children of William S. Powell.
He must have died before 1849. His children: Nicholas T? Powell, Fanny
Powell, Nancy Powell, Mary Powell, Sarah Jane Powell, apparently were left
in the care William Holloway. Mr. Holloway could have been in charge of
some ward? After his death the children were then placed in what looks like
a ward 1849 - 1853. Only speculation. See the following 3 documents. Hope
this helps you. Best regards, Cindy Powell
