About Robert Powell

Manager's note - This Robert Powell was born in Virginia and died and his will was probated in Chowan County, North Carolina. His wife was Mary Unknown Powell. Do not confuse him with a Robert Powell whose wife may have been named Esther who died in Chester, Pennsylvania. That seems to be a My Heritage matching glitch. SFG
