Our information from the Powell Bible published in Powell Times & Lines, Spring 1994, was copied from the Bible in the possession of David Jackson McWilliams, 2508 Rio Grande, Austin, Texas in 1938. David McWilliams was a grandson of Sarah Catherine Powell and Rev. Henry T. Hart, and a great-grandson of Dr. David Powell. The information was given to Searcy Ballard Powell and his wife, Tinnie Byrd Powell, who resided in Wilson, Oklahoma, where he was president of the bank at that time, 1938. Searcy Powell was a son of Thomas Jefferson Powell (1847-1904) and his wife, Alice Miller Powell. Thomas Powell and Sarah Catherine Hart were brother and sister.
At the time of Lucinda Shoemaker Powell's death in 1895 six of her children survived: Polly Mallone, Sarah Catherine Hart, Palina Ann Dyer, Thursa Frances Dyer, Thomas Jefferson Powell, and George Washington Powell.
In 1958 William Garland Button, great- grandson of Polly Powell Mallone, received the Powell Bible information from Tinnie Byrd Powell. At that time David McWilliams no longer lived at the Austin address.
James Thurman Furry has been diligently searching for clues to the present location of the Powell Bible. If anyone can help with any clues as the whereabouts of any descendants of Sarah Catherine Powell Hart, her daughter who married the mysterious Mr. McWilliams, or David Jackson McWilliams of Austin, Texas, please contact Thurman Furry at P. O Box 1322, Brownwood, TX, 76804. Thurman would appreciate any help with locating people who might have information about our Powell Bible. Wouldn't it be great to see this Bible belonging to Charles Powell and actually touched by so many of the hands of our Powell ancestors
