Extensive Geneological Information on the Powell Family

I have been corresponding with folks on Ancestry.com who are putting together family trees in hopes I could find some orginal correspondence from Thompsons, Hulls, etc. One wonderful lady, named Sharon Knapp, a descendant William Powell, Judge Thompson's uncle on his mother's side, has given me all the Powell information. It is much more extensive than I need, but I thought would be of some interest to the family. The most interesting part to me is the information about Judge Thompson's third wife, Catherine Carrington, and the Revolutionary War experience of William Powell, Judge Thompson's great-grandfather. The line of descent is as follows (using Biblical terms)

William Powell and Jane Lucas begat Lucas Powell (1722-1811) who with his wife Elizabeth Edwards (1734-1774) begat Rebecca Edwards Powell (born 1769) who with her husband John Thompson (1755-1828) begat Lucas Powell Thompson (1797-1866) who with his wife Susanna Caroline Tapscott (around 1802-1853) begat Caroline, Eleanor, and Mary Carter, the three Thompson girls who married the three Carroll boys.

Here are Ms. Knapp's genealogical notes:

From: Kinpatch by Melva Ruth Thomas Campbell, 1980, page 285: (DAR is SKAK's note)
I sent for Nathaniel's will to prove Charlotte T. Powell was not his daughter as was stated in her obituary in Pettis Co., Mo. She was not listed in his will or in the above list. (DAR) Nathaniel's will was probated during the March 1835 Term in Wilson Co., Tenn., under the name of Nathan Powell. He was a rich man and left many slaves and land. His son, Seymour, was administering. Two of the children listed above (DAR) were not in his will, but he may have settled their share when they married, or the DAR applicant might have made a mistake. The seven children and heirs who drew lots for the slaves and property were: 1) Seymour Powell, 2) L. Williamson for his wife, 3) John Brock's heirs (this prob. meant his wife, Mildred was deceased.), 40 Harriet Powell, 5) Nancy Powell, 6) Norborne B. Powell, 7) Lucas Powell.

Notes on SEYMOUR POWELL
**Seymour was to have married a cousin to his stepsisters, a Miss Sallie Cowper in 1795. Sallie died in 1798 leaving two children: Goode & Roe (PER FAMILY TALES)

**Some say Seymour marred a second time to a Mary G. Burch in SC....I found a marriage (ancestry.com) 14 April 1819, Nelson Co., Va..Seymour Powell married to N. G. Burch. Another source states Seymour's brother Nathaniel's son Seymour married Ann Birch...this will take more investigation.

**A letter written to an Anna (a Powell cousin) from Nat. Powell of Lovington VA, don't know who has this letter now:
Feb. 11th, 1940
Lovington, Va.
Dear Anna,
Your Letter received a few days ago, was indeed glad to hear from you. And to Know you are all well.
We are all very well and have been well most of the winter.
We have had lots of snow here this winter, and colder weather than usual.
When I got your card I was sick and laid it down some place and lost your address, was the reason I haven't written.
In regards to the Powell family. My Grandfather's name was Benjamin. He and Dr. Nat (aniel Roe) Powell's father were brothers, and their mothers were sisters. They were Cowpers before they married Powell’s. Dr. Nt. Powell was twelve years older than my father. I never saw a single one of my uncles or aunts, as my father was the youngest child of 18 children and was 40 years old when he married the first time, had three children by first marriage. He was 60 years old when he married my mother, and there were five of us.
I have heard my father say that he had a brother named Benjamin, a sister Betsy, and Charlotte, that's all that I can remember at this time if you would like to know more about the Powell family, just let me know and I will be glad to give you the history as far back as Jamestown Massacre.
I was very sorry to hear of Kate’s death. When you return to Virginia you must be sure to come and see us. We will be glad to have you any time.
As ever Sincerely
Your cousin Nat.
P.S. Fred said to tell you to write him. He wanted to write to you, send him your address, His address, Fred. G. Powell, shipman, Virginia.

Chapter XXV:
In February, 1856, Judge Lucas P. Thompson, of the Augusta Circuit Court, was nominated by the governor and confirmed by the legislature as one of the Judges of the Court of Appeals.

........At the age of eighteen, after walking tour through Spain, he returned to Virginia, where he studied and graduated in law, his license bearing names of the most eminent of the State, Archibald Stuart, Hugh Holmes and Briscoe Baldwin, Judges of the Supreme Court of Virginia, and by a coincidence all cousins of his wife. In a few years he was elected Judge of the Circuit Court of Augusta, Albemarle, Nelson, Amherst and Rockbridge counties, succeeding Chief Justice Marshall, admitted to be the most learned jurist in Virginia. He held his position during the Civil War, and was still kept in it by the Federal government during the stormy reconstruction days. By the advice of General Robert E. Lee, he took the oath of allegiance, and after the war, though refusing to "soil the ermine of the office" by running for the position he had held before, was elected to it again, one vote only being cast against him. Judge Thompson was the originator of the idea of sending a commission, during the Civil War, to meet Mr. Mr. Lincoln in the interests of peace, a suggestion which was accepted, Hon. Alexander H. H. Stuart, of Staunton, one of President Fillmore's cabinet, being chosen to represent Virginia. Judge Thompson married Caroline, the daughter of James and Susanna Howard (Baker) Tapscott..........

Jones Carrington. He was born at Long Branch, Halifax County, March
21, 1825, son of Walter Coles Carrington and Alice Cabell. Dr.
Carrington's first wife was Margaret Augusta Thompson, daughter of
Catherine's first husband, Judge Thompson, and his first wife, Susan
