1857 - 1926  (69 years)

• Name	John Walter Powell  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
  Born	8 Jul 1857	Jasper County, Texas   [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8]
  Gender	Male
  Died	31 Dec 1926	Voth, Jefferson County, Texas   [4]

  Notes	In a Morgan Descendancy chart posted on the internet, the nickname "Jefferson" was shown for John Walter Powell. Carolyn Powell Lockhart indicates that her great grandfather was John Walter Powell, and that to her knowledge he was never called by that nickname. Carolyn indicated that he remarried after his wife's death and he and his second wife moved to Merryville. Ruby Burkett notes that If Martha Ann died on March 23, 1913, there is some confusing information here. Her family story was that when "Aunt Minnie Maysel Boyett was married to Andy Arrington Fuller on May 13, 1913, they moved into a two room apartment in the home of her Aunt and uncle Martha Ann and Walter Powell in Merryville. Martha Ann was known as Aunt Babe. Their home was just behind, what I supose, is the present City Hall in Merryville. Of course much has changed in Merryville. I can assume that Martha Ann was dear to my grand-mother, Henrietta Jones Boyett, because she named one of her daughters Martha Ann and she was also called Babe" His Texas Death Certificate shows that although he was a resident of Merryville, LA at the time of his death, he died in Voth, Texas. His father was shown as John Powell, born in Arkansas, and his mother, Lucy Thomas, born in Texas.
