Hi Heather,
Thank you for your email and the Welsh Quaker information, and I tried to
click on to the link you sent me, but it would not load up. I do not have a
Ancestry.com Subscription. and that is probably what the link is wanting me
to probably do. Do you have any sites in Wales that might have something
about the Quakers???? It seemed like they came to America, through the
upper northern coast, because they wanted to not have to deal with the
restrictions that the Govenors were putting on them in Virginia. So these
Welsh Quakers settled in Pennsylvania mostly, and Ohio, and a lot of the
northern states in American first.
I have also wondered if they were into the Morovian religion, and sort of
knew that these people were in America very early.
Thank you so much for your ideas, and I will try and find a good amount of
Quaker Records here in the USA, and if you know of any Quaker Settlements in
Wales that moved to America, I would appreciate any and all sites that are
available. Thank you Heather, ever so much for all your help. If you would
like to contact me off list my email is:

Hi Pat
Have you considered your Powells may well have been descended from Welsh
Quakers who emigrated to US in the early 1700s? Try googling Welsh
emigration 1700s, or Quaker History. The Quakers kept meticulous records.
