Carolyn,I believe your William H. Powell was the son of Monroe Powell and Margaret Dameville. If so he was born 10 Feb 1841. His siblings were Mary Jane b 3 Nov 1843 d 30 Dec 1829 m George Washington Bybee;
Christianna" Cuty" b 12 Feb 1846;
James Murphy b 13 May 1849;
Eberly Bascom b 24 Jan 1853.

I also believe William H. Powell was in Ca (at least part of the time) from 1866 til 1879 based on property records in Sutter & Colusa Counties. Eberly bought property in Butte Co, C in 1898 (these are three ajoining counties and also ajoin Yolo Co which is where Woodland is located).

Monroe and Margaret both died in 1853 leaving an estate to care for their children. Monroe's father Robert Powell was the primary guardian but it appears the children resided with various aunts and uncles at different times which is one of the reasons you may find it difficult to trace him via census records.

There were other Powell cousins, etc who came to this same area of California, some of whom also went back and forth between CA & MO.

Court records in Audrain Co document Robert Powell's guardianship of Monroe's children. I have a great deal of information on Robert Powell's family. He is my GGG grandfather. I visited Powell Cemetery where Monroe is buried (most likely Margaret too).

The cemetery belongs to the Powell family and is in great disrepair with most of the graves unmarked or tombstones moved so you can't be sure where the graves actually are. Let me know if you feel this is a match and want moreinformation. I would be interested in all you have on William H. & Tabitha Ann Turner and their family.I live in Nevada County, CA which is near Sutter, Colusa, Butte, Yolo counties.Sharon P. Williamson

Note by Carolyn Whitaker: In researching the family of Margaret Dameron, I discovered that her sister Ruhama Dameron who married Lawrence Franklin Canterbury (who was administrator of the estates of Monroe & Margaret), lived and died 1873 in Yolo Co. California. I would tend to lean towards the fact that William was probably raised by some of the aunts and uncles on his mother's side of the family after his parents deaths. The fact that his son William Turner Powell ended up in Woodland, Yolo Co. California indicates he had family living in that area and may have been the reason that he went to that location.

Ref: 1884 Andreas Atlas, when Sturgis was part of Lawrence County, SD.
STURGIS ÙX This growing town is situated on the Bear Butte Creek, in Section 9, of Town 5 north, Range 5 east, 11 miles east by north from Deadwood, and 2 miles west of Fort Meade, between the foothills and the higher portion of the Black Hills. The site is a fine one, being near the junction of three branches of the creek, on dry, level ground, with ample room for expansion on all sides. It is also at the point of convergence of several important wagon roads, and in the center of a good agricultural country.
Sturgis owes its location and subsequent prosperity to the establishment of Fort Meade by the United States military authorities, in 1876.
Sturgis has suffered considerably by fire at different periods, but the flood of 1883 did no material damage in the town. The Bear Butte Creek, which at times is a raging torrent, ordinarily has no water in its channel between Sturgis and the canyon above the town. The water sinks in the canyon, but rises again a little below Sturgis, where the bed rock comes near the surface, and from thence past Fort Meade is a fine large stream affording abundance of water.
Sturgis is an important station of the stage, express and transportation lines. It has daily mails in various directions, and telephone connections with all towns in the Hills.
The merchants and traders of Sturgis have most of the trade of the Fort Meade garrison, which of itself is quite important, and they also draw extensively from the rich country around. A considerable number of heavy stock men are residents of the city.
Within a radius of three miles are situated three sawmills, and good pine lumber is sold at very reasonable prices. Sturgis and Spearfish are the two heaviest lumber manufacturing centers in the Hills.
Sturgis, like other Hills towns, is noted for its healthfulness, there having been from the date of its settlement to October, 1883, but one or two deaths from natural caused in the place. The present population is about 600.

In 1895 the population of Sturgis was 668 people.
