Hello List,
Several weeks ago I posted a query regarding
Who was "Mrs. J H P Thomas" now I know
Mrs. J. H. P. Thomas is the granddaughter of Thomas Jenkin Powell and Anne Moses. Her
name was Ann Phillips, the d/o John Phillips and Margaret Powell. Last evening on
GenealogyBank I found the obituary for Margaret Phillips (nee Powell). Margaret died in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on February 10, 1902 and is buried in the family plot in
Oaklawn Cemetery.
I never dreamed she came to the United States and was very lucky her obituary stated that
she died at the home of her daughter "Mrs. J. H. P. Thomas", it also said she
was survived by her sister "Mrs. Mary James" living in Plymouth.
The children of Thomas Jenkin Powell and Anne Moses were as follows:
Margaret Powell, b. February 16, 1832 Merthyr Tydfil, baptised February 19, 1832 Vaynor
Brecon-married John Phillips
Mary Powell, b. July 6, 1834 Merthyr Tydfil, baptised August 17, 1834 Vaynor
Brecon-married Unknown James
David Thomas Powell, b. April 29, 1838 Merthyr Tydfil-married Jane Williams
All three of the above came to the United States
David coming in 1869
Margaret in 1881/1882
Mary Unknown at this time
The children of Mrs. John H. P. Thomas (nee Phillips) are as follows:
