The Powell family consists of the descendants of Joseph
and Mary Ann Summer Powell of the Pine Orchard Community, Morgan County,
Tennessee. Rhodes and Nancy Hodge Powell were the parents of Joseph
Powell. Joe's children were Charlie, Ernest, Frankie, John, Levi, Rube and
Vesta. We have also expanded to the descendants of the other children of
Rhodes Powell. All Powell's and friends of the Powell's are invited to
attend the reunion. There are only 6 in the oldest generation still living
and 3 of them are 90 or older. The oldest is Charles Vigle Johnson, age
100, and lives in Arizona. Leila Belle Powell Doerflein
is 93 and lives in Indiana. Mary Powell Cate is 91 and lives in
Ohio.
We also have descendants of "other Powell's" (11-12
sets) attend who are working on their genealogy and everyone is sharing
information. We welcome all "Powell's".
