MY 9TH GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS ANN POWELL ~~~My Brother Pete or Greg shared this on Facebook

 

For this July 24th celebration, I looked up on Family Search, to find my first Grandparents to live on American soil. This is what I found.

Ann Powell, burn in Jamestown, Virginia, British Colonial American.

In 1611.

Parents:

Captain William Powell

Elizabeth Wyllis

Captain Powell arrived in Jamestown with the Third Supply mission in 1609.

Ann Powell is my 9th grandmother, on my grandmother Sarah side.

I believe Ann is my first relative to be born on American soil.

Oh, and this is my birthday! Thanks Pete!!
