The following information is from my grandmother (Mary Magdeline POWERS) who is getting on in years, so the information might not be accurate, but it's all I have so far. *William Russel POWERS, born July 16, 1890 married: Mary Jane Beulah MATTHEWS, born Sept. 29, 1889 Both William and Mary are buried at Popular Hill (Freewill?) Baptist Church, Hemingway, SC. Also Mary had two middle names, Jane and Beulah and was known as Beulah POWERS. *William Russel POWERS father: Evan POWERS mother: Margret CRIBB (Margret CRIBB's mother was ? OWEN) *Mary Jane Beulah MATTHEWS father: John (C.?) GRAHAM (Lake City, SC area) Lt. in the Confederate Army buried ? Hemingway, SC mother: Melissa GASKINS (Lake City, SC area) (note: John GRAHAM was Melissa GASKINS 2nd Husband. Her 1st. husband's last name was MCDONALD.
