Hudson Powell was born in 1834 in Madison County, Kentucky to Lovely Abraham Powell and Sarah/Sally Allen Powell who originally were from South Carolina. Hudson was the Father of Abe and Nathan "Poppie" Powell who along with Hudson migrated to Henry County from Big Hill, Kentucky (about 4 miles east of Berea) in 1910 according to Alice Powell’s book "Aprons and Altars". I have also been told that "Curtis" Powell of Henry County is a brother to Abe and therefore must have moved with the family on this date. Curtis is not buried in the Port Royal Cemetery as are the others. | |
