I am seeking to contact descendants of Dr. William Claiborne Powell, b: 23 Aug 1870 in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. Dr. Powell married Sarah Breckenridge Early on 5 Oct 1909 in Lynchburg, Virginia. He practiced medicine in Petersburg, Virginia. In 1937, Dr. Powell's widow had posssession of portraits of Harriet A. E. Claiborne and Mary Clayton Claiborne ( his grandmother and grand-aunt). I am interested in locating the names and addresses of unknown "cousins" and also in determining if these portraits are still in the possesssion of Dr. Powell's descendants with a hope of obtaining photographs of the portraits. Harriet A. E. Claiborne is my great-great-grandmother.

Thanks for the info. Sorry to be so late in replying but have been traveling for the past month. I have some info regarding Harriet Edmunds and the Powell line of William Cole Powell if you are interested. The Powell line info stops at Dr Thomas Powell, of Spotsylvania County, VA, a Revolutionary War Surgeon. I am trying to determine who his parents were. Would you have any info that might help?
