Powell Bible Story
Our information from the Powell Bible 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. 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. *****
We are searching for 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 Fleta Aday Mail Us

Sarah Vs. Charles Powell Sr.
Mercer County Kentucky Records
Judgment Box P #7 - S. Powell Vs. C. Powell
To the honorable the judge of the Mercer Circuit Court in
Chancery, the presentation? of your oratrix, Sarah Powell, humbly complaining
to your honor herewith that about forty years ago she unfortunately
intermarried with a certain Charles Powell in the Commonwealth of Virginia by a
marriage solemnized according to the then existing laws of that state. That she
was at that time possessed of and invested with in her own right, one hundred
acres of land in Spotsyvania County and afterwards received at the death of her
father a legacy of personal estate and a female slave. She further states that
at the time of the marriage ? the said Powell had no real estate and no
personal estate except a horse and wearing apparel nor has he ever received to
her knowledge and belief to the amount of 20 S. from any relation or by any
legacy in donation whatever. She further states land aforesaid? has been long
since sold and from the proceeds thereof and from the increase of the Negro
aforesaid? the estate of said Powell hath accrued and negroated?? Your oratrix
states that many years after the marriage aforesaid the said Deft. treated her
with customary tenderness and affection and she states that she has uniformity
treated him with that perfect? and affection which moral and social duty
enjoined in her as a wife. But about four years ago the affection of the said
Powell without any provocation on her part became alienated from your orartix
and he has since treated her with cruelty and indignity which no patience could
bear and which humanity? never ought to be subjected to. Your oratrix expressly
charges that he has given her every reason to believe and she does believe that
he has long lived in a state of fornication with negroess slaves, that he has
indulged himself in her presence with every dalliance short of fornication with
her female salves for more than eight months now. She expressly charges that he
has repeatedly beaten her with his fists and with sticks in a cruel and
unmerciful manner so as to endanger her life. That he has once attempted to
smother her to death. That he is in the practice of dispersing the estate to
which she has certainly in ? a claim equal to his and has lately bartered away
a very valuable negro man at a vast under value for the purpose of possessing a
negro girl as your oratrix readily believes for the use of prostitution. And in
the mean time has refused to your oratrix the necessities of life, has banished
her from his house and advertised her with a probation against any person
dealing? with her. She further states that the said Charles has at this time
the following property To Wit Track of land whereon he now resides in the
County of Mercer containing upwards of one hundred acres, one negro by the name
of Tom, one negro woman by the name of Liddy, one other by the name of Doray,
one negro boy by the name of Jeffery, one by the name of Jorden, one negro girl
by the name of Mirah, one negro boy by the name of Tony which is now in the
possession of Nimrod Greenwood and that a certain William Hall is indebted to
the said Charles in a large sum of money but the particular amount is not
ascertained by her, (and a bond for 400 acres on one owing). She further states
that the Deft. Charles is also in the possession and hath a right to valuable
stocks of every kind To Wit Horses, Cows, Hogs, Sheep, and household furniture.
She states that she and said Charles hath eight children all of whom are of
full age and married and left their parents. She states that the Deft. Charles
hath at different times and not long since beat and abused her with great
cruelty and inhumanity and without any reasonable or justifiable cause and that
he hath driven her from his bed and board and refuseth to make any kind of
provision for her or in any way to afford her any relief or protection altho
the Deft doth well knowest in equity he ought to furnish her with a reasonable
alimony or support but now so it is and may it please your honors that he Deft
Charles is almost constantly in a state of intoxication and making imprudent? and
losing bargains to the great injury of his estate and at other times he gives
it out in speeches that he will either sell his property and leave the state in
a short time taking the proceeds of the sale with him, or that he will leave
the state and take his negro with him and sale of the land to the end to
defraud your oratrix of her alimony or support. All which actings and doings of
the Deft. and his confederates are contrary to equity and justice and intended
to defraud and injure your oratrix in this behalf. In tender consideration in
hereof and for as much as your oratrix is remidless? in the premisses by the
strict rules of the common law and can only find relief in the honorable court
of Chancery where matters of this kind are properly heard and relief ? to the
end therefore that justice may be done in the behalf she prays that the Deft.
may be compelled to answer this bill and each allegation thereof on his
corporal oath, in as full and complete manner as if the same was here again ?
and interrogated. And she prays that by your decree to be pronounced herein,
that the said defendant may be decreed to allow your oratrix her alimony or
make such provision for her support on the equity of the case may require, and
she prays of your honors your Commonwealth writ of subpena to compel an answer
hereto and your commonwealths writ of injunction to restrain and enjoin the
said defendant from selling or in any disposing of the said tract of land
whereon he now resides and from selling or in any way dispossessing of the said
negro or any of them To Wit Negro Tom, Liddy, Jeffery, Jorden, Miriah, Dorah,
and Tony until the further order of the Deft. from leaving this state until the
further order of this court and taking with him the said negro case can be
heard by your honors, and she prays such other and further relief to the equity
of her case may entitle her to and she ? duty bound will pray. J. L. Bridges

mind and memory thanks be given to God calling into mind the mortality of my
body and knowing that it is appointed for men born to die, do make and ordain
this my last will and testament. That is to say principally and first of all, I
give and comment my soul into the hands of Almighty God that gave it, and my
body I recommend to the earth to be buried in a decent Christian burial at the
discretion of my executors, nothing doubting but at the gospel resurrection I
shall rise in the same again by the mighty power of God, and as to my just
worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me with in this life I
give, devise, and dispose in the following manner and form. First, I give and
bequeath to my dearly beloved sons, Henry Goldman and John Goldman, my
plantation to be divided between them equally, but with two conditions-Henry
Goldman is to enjoy the lower part and John Goldman the upper part thereof

virtue an entry adjoining the other lands of my plantation containing sixty

Rachel Goldman, Leah Goldman, and Martha Goldman are not taught or instructed
yet in the principles of Christian religion, I give and bequeath to them the
full sum of 15 pounds sterling or the value thereof to be employed by my
executors to thorough instruction of them in the articles of Christianity and I
do hereby charge my executors to take a particular care of them to cause them
to be sent to a Christian school to be taught as above said. Further, I give
and bequeath to my dearly beloved daughter, Catherine Goldman, my bed and
bedstead with it's furniture and a black silk handkerchief. I also give and
bequeath to my beloved daughter, Mary, a black hat, a mantle, a bed with
