NOTES ON RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

When this project was first proposed by Daryl Barksdale of Cobb Landmarks the intention was to determine the descendents of George Abner Power (1821-1914) and his wife Winifred (nee Copeland) Power (1821-1893) as they would have the closest connection to the Power Cabin site. As research progressed it was decided to broaden the scope to include all the descendents of George Abner Power’s father, Joseph Power (1780-1875), owing to the prominence of the family in Cobb County and their familial ties to the site. Joseph Power’s father, John Power, is included in this summary although his information is based entirely on information presented in other sources that was not corroborated by primary source documents for this project. The information therefore on John Power is based entirely on information presented in George and Winifred Power House Historic Structure Report1 and Burton Leroy Terrell’s unpublished genealogy of the Power Family2 both of which cite few sources for the information. Other than that one exception every effort has been made to corroborate information on all descendents with available primary source documents. Genealogical research on the Power family was pursued in the opposite manner in which genealogists’ typically work (starting with the most recent known generation and working backwards). This particular course of action was necessitated by the nature and scope of this project and the desire to locate the descendants of George Abner and Winifred (nee Copland) Power, the first owners of what is now known as the Power Cabin. Due to the limitations of time and available resources (Federal Census information is sealed for 74 years leaving the 1930 Federal Census as the most recent one available) the ability to identify and trace 20th Century descendents was profoundly limited. Complicating matters further was Georgia made no provisions for registering births or deaths until 1919 making it more difficult to obtain exact dates of birth for many of the early 20th Century descendants, which turn complicates tracking them and confirming potential dates of death via the Social Security Death Index. This paper is not intended to repeat information on the Powers and the Power Cabin that has been compiled elsewhere, specifically in George and Winifred Power House Historic

Structure Report3 or Burton Leroy Terrell’s unpublished genealogy of the Power Family4; this work is geared primarily to focus on George and Winifred Power and their descendents rather than to tell the history of the Power Cabin or to reiterate what has been expounded upon elsewhere. The layout of this paper follows established National Genealogical Society and Association of Professional Genealogists guidelines for charting descent. Each individual is assigned an Arabic numeral in order of precedence of birth (the oldest child is assigned the lowest number) which corresponds to each succeeding generation (eldest child of the previous generation’s children are numerated first). The children for a particular couple are assigned a lower case Roman numeral by order of birth (first child begins with Roman numeral i). Those children who in turn had progeny are prefaced by a + sign; the absence of a + sign indicates that child had no documented or known offspring. Each individual will have a listing in parenthesis indicating their descent. The first section covers John Power and his two sons, Joseph Power and James Power. The second section covers the children of Joseph and Isabella Power broken out individually including their descendents to more easily identify family groupings. The third

section covers the descendents of James and Samantha Power and the final section the known living descendents of Joseph and Isabella Power. Seven of Joseph and Isabella (Belue) Power’s children are grouped by individual sections with their descendents so it is easier to identify them. The seven children grouped within this section are as follows:

James Cooper Power William Hill Power George Abner Power Kiziah Power Bishop Mary Elizabeth Power Martin Martha Jane Power Jackson Pinckney Joseph Power

Research on the Power family is far from complete or exhaustive. A search of the Georgia Room at the Marietta Main Library, the Atlanta History Center, and the Georgia Archives failed to uncover genealogical data on the Power family or the Power Cabin that surpassed that compiled by Burt Terrell. There are a number of individuals researching the various Power lineages, foremost among them Burt Terrell. Copies of this report and all relevant support documentation have been provided to Burt Terrell, Morning Washburn, Kennesaw State University, and Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society.

ORIGINS OF THE POWER FAMILY IN GEORGIA

The story of the Power family is similar to those of countless other Georgian families of the antebellum era as families began a westward migration from more densely populated coastal regions. The presumptive forebear of the Power Family, John Cowan, resided in South Carolina where most of his children were born. Family lore holds that the Power family resided in Laruens County, South Carolina5 and three of John Power’s children, Joseph Power (1780-1875), Thomas Power (1785-1852), and James Power (1790-1870), would move westward into Georgia as the frontier did, with all eventually settling in Cobb County. Joseph Power appears in DeKalb County, Georgia as early as the 1830 Federal Census and other siblings may have moved to the area as well. While both Thomas and James Power had descendents they were few in number, especially when compared to those of Joseph Power, and the overwhelming number of Power descendents included in this genealogy are those descendents of Joseph Power. Part of the difficulty of tracking these early Powers is the potential confusion with first names and ensuring proper and certain identification. All three of the Power brothers likely became “fortunate drawers” in the Cherokee Land Lottery of 1832, but it remains uncertain owing to the number of Powers with common first names. The land the Power Cabin was built on was not land received by any of the Power brothers as that plot was awarded to a James Lee of Meriweather County. The loss of land records in both DeKalb County in 1843 and Cobb County in 1864 make it impossible to reconstruct the land transactions for this particular property, but it is likely that either Joseph Power or his son George Abner Power came in to possession of it in either the late 1830s or early 1840s. The children of Joseph Power and his wife Isabella (nee Belue) Power primarily settled in the East Cobb area with some gradual dispersment to surrounding areas in the succeeding decades of the 19th Century. Most of their descendents were engaged in farming but some would become notable in a variety of occupations as society changed towards the later part of the 19th and early 20th Century. By the time of the First World War the Power descendents had begun to spread out further throughout the region with some also moving west out of Georgia. At that same time the Power Cabin ceased to be occupied and farmed by a Power descendent although it remained in the family’s possession. Today the descendents of Joseph and Isabella Power are scattered throughout the United States although many remain in the area.

GENERATION ONE AND TWO

Generation One

1. John Power 1740 - b: Abt. 1740 in Donegal, Ireland; m. Rachel Duvall b: Abt. 1745; children as follows:

2 i. William Power, b: March 20, 1770 in Maryland; d: March 23, 1848 in Laurens Co SC; m. Judith Belue (1772 – 1853) b: December 29, 1772 in Union Co SC d: February 12, 1853 in Laurens Co SC.

3 ii. Elizabeth Power. b: February 14, 1772; d: 1857 in Jackson County, Georgia; m. Jacob Nabors b: 1774, d: September 29, 1825, Burial: Nabors Graveyard, Ora, SC. 4 iii. Alexander Power, b: March 1774 in Maryland, d: Aft. 1850 in Laurens Co., SC Burial: Probably Warrior Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Laurens County, SC; m. Martha Mills, d: Bef. 1850.

The most likely candidate for John Power was residing in Laurens County, South Carolina for the 1790 Federal Census.6 This particular family group consisted of three white males aged 16 and up, five white males under the age of 16, and five white females and no other persons or slaves. This would be consistent with the family as shown in Table One:

TABLE ONE – 1790 FEDERAL CENSUS

CATEGORY NAMES

White Males aged 16 and Up John Power (aged about 50) William Power (aged about 20) Alexander Power (aged about 16)

White Males Under Age 16 John Power (aged about 12) Joseph Power (aged about 10) Samuel Power (aged about 8) Thomas Power (aged about 5) Unknown child

White Females Sarah (nee Woodall) Power Elizabeth Power (aged about 18) Nancy Power (aged about 13) Two unknown children

Two potential John Powers appear in Laurens County, South Carolina for the 1800 Federal Census and the headcount for both are so close to the breakout for our probable Power family there is no way to determine which is which. The 1810 Federal Census for Laurens County, South Carolina turned up two Power families; one headed by a Holley Power and the other by William Power. It is unclear if either subject is definitely related to this Power family. John Power married a second time to Sarah Woodall (d: May 04, 1832); the couple’s children were as follows:

It is unclear if William Power married or not. His obituary from the Atlanta Constitution mentions only that he was survived by eight of his sisters. He was a veteran of World War I and was a member of the American Legion and had been living in Philadelphia for a while.559 William Power enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on 3 March 1915 and that same month sent to the Recruit Depot, Marine Barracks, Navy Yard, at Norfolk, Virginia, where he was assigned to Company E and he appears on the muster rolls there for March, April and May. By June 1915 William Power had completed his training and was reassigned to Company I at the Marine Barracks at Norfolk. In August 1915 he was transferred to the 1st Brigade in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once in Philadelphia he was assigned to the Fourth Company (Commanded by Captain Walter N. Hill), First Regiment, First Brigade and appears on muster roles for September, October, November, and December 1915 as well as January, February, March, April and May 1916 during which time his unit was stationed in Haiti, and was detached Aquin, Haiti from December 6th to January 19th. In May 1916 the Fourth Company was part of the Marine force sent to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on the USS Culgoa, leaving Port-au-Prince, Haiti on May 8th and arriving off the coast of Santo Domingo on May 10th. On May 12th the Marines were sent ashore at Fort Geronimo and on the 15th they entered Santo Domingo. Following that action his unit was at Puerto Plata for June and July. In August his unit was posted at various cities in the Dominican Republic including Santa Domingo, Moca, La Vega, and San Francisco de Macoris. In September his unit was at San Francisco de Macoris as well as Sanchez and Samana. For October through December 1916 the unit was in Santo Domingo. In January 1917 Power and most of his unit were furloughed. Following his furlough Power next reappears on a muster roll for March 1917 when the Fourth Company, First Regiment became part of the Fixed Defense Force and Power was detached to serve as a guard over interned Germans at Fort Oglethorpe. In May Power was part of a detachment sent to the Marine Corps Rifle Range at Winthrop, Maryland and the following month was promoted to Corporal. In September 1917 Captain Franklin T. Steele replaced Captain Hill as the Company Commander. By the November 1917 muster roll Captain Steele was replaced by Captain Willett Elmore and in turn by Captain Jesse L. Perkins and they were now part of the Heavy Artillery Force training at Quantico, Virginia where they appear for the December 1917 muster roll. In January 1918 William Power was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. From the March 1918 muster rolls it appears that William’s

There were no muster rolls for May or June 1918, but the following July 1918 muster roll indicates that most of William’s unit was still at the Marine Corps Rifle Range at Quantico. There were no muster rolls for August through November and the December 1918 muster rolls is unclear as to whether they were still stationed stateside or in Europe although the January 1919 muster roll clearly indicates they were still at Quantico. The March 1918 muster roll was the final one for William as he was discharged for expiration of enlistment with the annotation “excellent”.

Also enumerated with the couple was a Victoria Dalrymple, a mother-in-law, aged 69 and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia, who was 17 at the time of her first marriage. It would appear that Mrs. Dalrymple was the mother-in-law from an earlier marriage by Frank Morgan, and likely all of the children with the exception of Annie Morgan were likely from that marriage. Frank Morgan would die of pneumonia at the age of 37 after an illness of several weeks. At the time of his death he was a line foreman for the Georgia Power Company, having worked for them for 20 years. Frank Morgan was buried in the Power Family Cemetery in Sandy Springs.

County620 The Criders appear in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia for the 1930 Federal Census.621 Clifford Crider was age 33, age 19 at the time of his first marriage, and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia, and working as a laborer with a construction company. Esther Crider was age 38, age 24 at the time of her first marriage, and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia. Enumerated with the couple were the children, both born in Georgia as follows: Jewel B. Crider age 8 and Leonard Crider, age 2. Also with the couple was Clifford’s widowed mother Lola Belle Crider age 53.\ and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia. The ages for both Clifford and Esther were corrected, which tends to make them suspect. The funeral notice for Esther Spruill Crider indicated she would be interred at the New Smyrna Cemetery and listed survivors, but not their relationship to her. Among them was son Leonard E. Crider of Marietta.622 It appears her husband Clifford predeceased her, although he could not be located on Georgia Deaths 1919-1998. The estate of Leonard Elbert Crider was filed in Cobb County Probate Court, file #84-P-0941-01.

The Wilkinsons were living with Harry’s parents in Atlanta’s Ward 9, Fulton County, Georgia.633 Harry E. Wilkinson was age 29, born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia and working as a storage manager for a battery company. Wife Ethel C. Wilkinson was age 23 and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia. The couple’s children were both born in Georgia and enumerated as follows: Annie W. Wilkinson age 2 years 11 months and Harry E. Wilkinson age 1 year and 9 months. The Wilkinsons were living in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina for the 1930 Federal Census, but the census taker was apparently unable to interview them personally for detailed information, thus they wrote ‘unattainable’ across most of the sections.634 The family was enumerated as H. E. Wilkinson, Ethel Wilkinson, daughter Wade Wilkinson, and son Harry E. Wilkinson, Jr. Harry E. Wilkinson died on 24 December 1938 at Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.635 Ethel Catherine Wilkinson died on 18 February 1988 at Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

i. Jack Albert Power, b. 1923 Forest Power worked as a fireman for the Southern Railway and died as a result of injuries from a train wreck after “he was badly scalded about the head and body.”642 The funeral notice for Forest Power indicates he was survived by one son, Jack Power, of Marietta, his parents Mr. and Mrs. Albert Power, and sister, Mrs. Ralph Ireland. The indication was that Forest Power had died at a local sanitarium and incorrectly suggests that his wife predeceased him.643 Forest Power was interred in the Sandy Springs church cemetery.644 The estate for Forest E. Power was filed in Cobb County Probate Court, file #00-P-2778-01, with Estelle A. Power and H. C. Lassiter named as executors. Estelle Power received a settlement from the Southern Railway for the death of her husband and a guardianship was set up for their son Jack, which was administered through the Cobb County Probate Court, file #00-P-5037-01. From the file we learn that Estelle Power married Frank C. Vickers and moved to Sebastian, Indian River County, Florida. The file also provides the full name for Jack Power and the information needed to locate them on the 1930 Federal Census.645 Frank C. Vickers was age 52, age 50 at the time of his first marriage, born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia and working as a citrus farmer. Estelle A. Vickers was age 34, age 25 at the time of her first marriage and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia. Jack A. Power was age 7 and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia.

The obituary for Ralph A. Ireland, Sr. indicated he was a transportation agent during World War II at an air base in Mississippi before being transferred to Galveston, Texas. He retired in 1950 due to poor health and returned to Atlanta at that time. Both Ralph and Myrtice Ireland are interred at the Sandy Springs Cemetery. In her later years Myrtice Ireland moved to be with her son Ralph Ireland, Jr. in Augusta and died there on 30 May 1979 at the age of 74. Raymond Ireland’s obituary referenced two daughters and two sons, but the surnames for the sons were different from his own, suggesting they may have been from a possible prior marriage of his wife. More information would be needed to clarify. Raymond Ireland was interred at the Broadlawn Memorial Gardens. 313.

Power, Jr. It is unknown why he was listed as such and perhaps Royce Power could be located using that variant of his name. The news report of Dr. Power’s passing provided a wealth of information on him. At the time of his passing he was the superintendent of the Roswell Public Schools and was described as “a well-known local educator.”773 Dr. Power was buried in the Roswell Methodist Cemetery.

The Bishop family appears in the 5th Ward of Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia for the 1900 Federal Census Fulton County, Georgia.918 This particular enumerator is unique in that he provides not only the month each person was born but the day they were born! Edward Bishop was enumerated as age 33 and born on 15 March 1867 in Georgia to parents born in Georgia, was married 11 years, and working as a farmer. Wife Maggie Bishop was age 28 and born on 26 December 1871 in South Carolina to parents born in South Carolina, and was the mother of four children all still living. The couple’s children were all born in Georgia enumerated as follows: Annie Bishop, age 10 and born on 8 February 1890; Barney Bishop age 8 and born on 11 March 1892; Glenn Bishop age 3 and born on 28 June 1896; and Cooper Bishop age 2 born on 9 May 1898.

The couple’s children were all born in Georgia enumerated as follows: Annie Power age 20; Barney Bishop age 17 and working as an apprentice paper hanger; Glenn Bishop age 14; and Clarence Bishop age 11. It appears that Clarence Bishop was born after the time of the 1900 Federal Census and Cooper Bishop likely was the child that had died in the interim. Edward Glenn Bishop would register for the World War I Draft on 2 June 1917 in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. From the card we learn Edward’s middle name and exact date of birth and that he worked as a crane-man at Atlantic Steel in Atlanta. Edward Bishop was still single and his physical description was as being medium height, medium build, brown eyes, black hair, not bald and no physical limitations.

Bishop was enumerated as age 53, born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia, and working as a street car conductor. Maggie B. Bishop was age 50 and born in North Carolina to parents born in North Carolina. Enumerated with the couple were their children and grandchildren all born in Georgia as follows: Barney F. Bishop age 27 and a decorator with a wall paper company; Edward G. Bishop age 24 and a machinist in a steel plant; Clarence C. Bishop age 21 and a machinist in a steel plant; and granddaughter Toddie B. Perdue age 4 years and eight months, likely the daughter of Annie Bishop. The obituary of Callie Tritt in October 1928 mentions only a Mr. E. D. Bishop, so clearly Maggie Bishop had died prior to that time in 1928. 921A possible Maggie Bishop died in DeKalb County, Georgia on 1 October 1926. By the time of the 1930 Federal Census a great deal had changed for the family. Maggie Bishop had died between the 1920 and 1930 Federal Censuses and Ed Bishop had returned back to Merritts, Cobb County, Georgia where he and son C. C. Bishop were found.922 Ed Bishop is enumerated as age 63, born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia, a widower, and working as a general farmer. C. C.

Enumerated with them was a Margaret Bishop, Ed Bishop’s granddaughter, age 14 and born in Georgia to parents born in Georgia. A possible Barney T. Bishop died on 12 October 1936 in Fulton County, Georgia. There is also a Barney F. Bishop born on 25 May 1892 who died on 10 October 1936 who is buried at the Mt. Zion Cemetery near the corner of Post Oak Tritt and Johnson Ferry. A possible Edward L. Bishop died on 24 November 1941 in Fulton County, Georgia aged 76 years. This should be checked out to see if it is indeed our Edward Bishop. The estate of Clarence C. Bishop was filed in Cobb County Probate Court, file #71-P-0096-01.
