Author: Dana's "The History of Woodstock" 1889, page 12

"William Powers, son of Andrew, was a large landholder in Woodstock, Vt.. His own
home farm, which he occupied for some ten years, embraced the meadow lands on the
farm now owned by Benjamin S. Dana, and the farm below that, together with the
northerly slope of Blake's Hill. His house, a log hut, stood on the hillock on the
east side of the road, fronting the old barns below Mr. Merill's new house. He came
to be regarded as something of a prosperous man in the town. Below him, about a
mile, his brother James* cultivated, and probably occupied, land in the vicinity of
the old Gallup farm."
