Deed, William J. Powell to Mastin Powell
North Carolina Division of Archives & History, Caswell County, NC Deeds,
Book FF Pages 681-682, 15 November 1842
Abstract:  "William J. Powell of the County of Caswell and State of North
Carolina of the one part and Mastin Powell of the County of Halifax and
State of Virginia ";  $50 for "a certain piece of parcel of land lying in
the county of Caswell State of North Carolina on the waters of little creek
adjoining the lands of him the said Mastin Powell, Elizabeth Powell and
others containing by survey twenty six acres "
William J. Powell <signed>
Witness: Carter Powell, Edwin M. Powell
Proved by the oath of Carter Powell and ordered recorded 20 March 1843
[Note: The only lot containing 26 acres in the division is lot #6 that went
William Powell.  The above deed adds the middle initial "J." to the name
"William Powell" in the division of lands in the deed in FF 57-58. This
allows us to tie the "Jackson Powell" in the will to the "William Powell"
in the division in FF 57-58, and to the "William J. Powell" in this deed.
This gives us a full name "William Jackson Powell" and by implication this
is also the full name of the William J. Powell who is the son of Mastin
Powell and who is refered to as "William J. Powell Sr." in Halifax VA deeds
(such as Halifax County Virginia Deeds, Book 56, page 61) with "William J.
Powell Jr." who is the William J. Powell in this deed.]
