Hi All!
I was looking through the Pickens scgenealogy website hosted by Traci
Parsons-Holder yesterday (she is updating!!!!) and came across the Death
Index record for Mary Angeline Powell Alexander. It says her father is
Jeremie Powell and mother is Katie Boren. Are there any Alexander's or
Powell's out there can find out any information on Katie Boren Powell? She
was born about 1825 in SC. I find them in Macon Co, NC in 1850. But, I am
assuming that they were born in the Pickens portion of the OPD. I have not
checked 1860 Jackson or Henderson Co, NC census for this family.
There seems to be several families of Boren's in SC/NC during this time
period, although, attempts to connect them have failed. They appear to be
related as they intermarried into the same families of Patterson, Powell,
Chappell, Holcombe, etc. Some of the females are married, some not. ANY info
appreciated. I have some information on another of Jeremiah and Katie
Powell's sons, William Anderson Powell who married my gg-aunt, Eleanor
Patterson (dau of Asa Patterson, SR and Ellenor Nix.)

this sadness, this echo of pain;
A curious legend still haunts me,
still haunts and obsesses my brain."
