1999 Powell Reunion


		The 1999 Powell Family Reunion for all descendants of Lovely Abraham Powell b.1791 and settled in Big Hill, Kentucky was held at Indian Fort Theater on September 11, 1999. Over 100 people from 10 states and representing 60 families attended. Stories told, information traded and potluck lunch was enjoyed by all.

		Maudean Neill, a professional genealogist and Powell descendant, presented an in-depth report on her research into the Powell Family history. She also was the planner of the event and is planning the 2000 Powell Family Reunion for September 23, 2000 at Indian Fort Theater just East of Berea, Kentucky. Her letter to all relatives follows.
Another reunion participant, Nini Scotti, of Troy, Missouri brought a compilation several hundred pages long of the Powell History. Her work confirmed our lineage to William Thomas Powell born in England sometime prior to 1600.

	"It was good to spend some time with a lot of you last summer at the Powell Reunion. I was very pleased that we had 117 in attendance. I was too busy to spend as much time as I would have liked getting to know each person that was there. Hope many more of you will be able to attend this year. We have arranged for more chairs and tables this year. We can get them from Berea College. They don't charge for the use of the chairs and tables if we transport them ourselves. If there is someone in the area that will donate a pick-up or truck on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 22 and 23 we can take care of this job without too much trouble. There is plenty of room at the Indian Fort Theater for dining tables. There is also a room where pictures can be put on display for others to see. We can put posters on the walls of the pavilion. Of course there is plenty of room for parking and room for where pictures can be put on display for others to see. We can put posters on the walls of the pavilion.
