| 404 | From History of Ludlow, Vermont, Appendix, page 235: "The first annual Town Meeting was held in Ludlow on the 31st day of March, A. D. 1792. In accordance with the Charter, Capt. Elakim Hall being Moderator. The following officers were elected. Jesse Fletcher, Town Clerk. Three selectmen, 1st Jesse Fletcher, 2nd Jonas Hadley, 3d Elihue Ives. Town Treasurer, Josiah Fletcher. Constable Simeon Reed. Issac Powers, David Lewis, Jonas Holden Listers. Joseph Greene, Leather Sealer. Thomas Bixby, Pound Keeper. John Hadley, Grand Jurerman. William Caldwell, Tithingman. David Bixby, Fence viewer. Wiliam Caldwell, Silas Proctor, Levi Bixby, Nathanel Pingrey, Simeon Reed, Surveyors of Highways. John Hadley, Sealer of Weights and Measures." Question to be answered: Is this the same Isaac Powers? If so, then he and David Lewis, a paternal ancestor, were together for the first meeting of the town of Ludlow.

| 405 | From History of Lynn, Essex County, MA, by Alonzo Lewis, page 181. https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/moa/AJA2122.0001.001?rgn=main;view=fulltext "EDMUND LEWIS - was one of the early proprietors of Watertown, and was admitted a freeman, 25 May, 1636. On the 14th of October, 1638, he was one of-the committee appointed to lay out the lands in that town. He came to Lynn in 1639, and was the first settler in Lewis street. He died in January, 1651. The name of his wife was Mary, and his children were John, Thomas, James and Nathaniel. His descendants remain. George Lewis came from East Greenwich, in the county of Kent, England. He was at Plymouth, in 1633. He removed to Scituate, and afterward to Barnstable. He married Sarah Jenkins, in England, and had nine children, of whom Joseph and John were killed by the Indians, in the war of 1675. Dr. Winslow Lewis, of Boston, descended from this family." | Lewis, Edmund (I81)
|
| 406 | From Searching for Edmond Lewis of Lynn 2007: "There is no evidence that Edmond Lewes of Lynn, Massachusetts was the son of George Lewis and Catherine Matthew of Llystalybont, Glamorgan, Wales. This claim was made in the book Lewis Families of Wales and America by Edward Simmons Lewis in 1928. The author did not present any evidence to document that the Edmund Lewis of Wales was the same as the Edmond Lewes who boarded the ship Elizabeth in Ipswich, Suffolk, England and sailed to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634." "There are many Lewes and Lewis families in and around Ipswich, Suffolk, England in the early 17th Century, so there is no reason to look to Wales for Edmond Lewes' origin." "There is no evidence that Edmond Lewes married Mary Carew. This is an undocumented entry in FamilySearch.org. In fact, we do not know the surname of Edmond Lewes's wife." "Edmond and Mary's oldest son John did not marry Mary Button. That was John Lewis of Westerly, Rhode Island. Edmond's son John married Hannah Marshall, Elizabeth Walker and Sarah Merriam and lived in Lynn, Massachusetts until his death in 1710." | Lewis, Edmund (I81)
|
| 407 | From The Powers Family, 1883: "He is located, on the plat of the town kindly furnished by Mr. smoth, on the westerly side of the town." | Powers, William (I3026)
|
| 408 | At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. | Powers, John (I2997)
|
| 409 | From The Powers Family, 1883: "He is referred to as captain. He removed to Brandon, Vt., where he was one of the original proprietors of the town; was a member of the convention to form a State government, and a member of the Legislature of that State." | Powers, Captain Josiah (I5689)
|
| 410 | From The Powers Family, 1883: "He is referred to by Walter as his oldest son, and inherited the homestead place, with saw-mill, and was doubtless buried in the 'usual place of burial.'" | Powers, William (I1786)
|
| 411 | From The Powers Family, 1883: "Mary Power and Lieut. Joseph Wheeler, who was probably a son of Lieut. Joseph Wheeler, later, Capt. Wheeler, were the grandparents of Capt. Glazier Wheeler, noted in the history of New Hampshire. May she not be the “little girl” referred to by S. G. Drake, and copied by the writer in 1853 from his manuscript account ? 'February 12, 1676, Jacob and Isaac Sheppard were killed near Nashobe, in Concord Village, as they were threshing in their barn. Being afraid of a surprise, they had set a little girl, their sister Mary, about 15 years old, on an eminence to look out; but the Indians stole upon and took her captive, and then proceeded to the barn, and killed her brothers. She was carried away to their town or encampment, and not long after made her heroic escape. As her captors were asleep in the night, she took one of the horses then had stolen not long before from Lancaster, and mounting upon it, with a saddle which she got from under the head of one of the sleeping Indians, rode off; coming to the Nashua River, she dashed through it and thence through the woods to her own home.'" | Powers, Mary (I1783)
|
| 412 | From The Powers Family, published 1882: "Isaac seems to have been prominent among the sons of Walter, and to have taken the lead in affairs. He was captain of the military; a petitioner for town incorporation; was moderator of the first town meeting that was called; and continued to hold various town offices for many years; twice elected to the great and general court; and was colonial agent for conveying lands. In 1732, he, with his brother Walter, were upon the committee for conveying pew rights in the meeting-house. His wife was a relative of the wife of Rev. Benj. Shattuck, the first settled minister of the town." | Powers, Captain Isaac (I2406)
|
| 413 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "Daniel Powers seems to have possessed himself of a piece of land on the westerly side of Littleton, about one mile in width, extending the whole length of the west line of the town. His children were probably all born in Nashobe or Littleton, although some of them are found recorded in Groton." | Powers, Daniel (I2397)
|
| 414 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "He probably lived in Lexington, as his name appears on the rolls of that town as a soldier in the old French War. Lydia, his wife, was a sister of Nathaniel Russell, Esq., and probably daughter of Deacon David Russell of 'Nashoba Farms'. Gideon Powers is the first name on the first church records, without date, the previous records supposed to be lost; it is followed among others by the name of Elizabeth Powers, wife of Jonathan; Josiah Powers and his wife; Lydia Powers; Elizabeth Powers; Mary Powers; Joanna Powers; Robert Powers and his wife; and Rachel Powers; all of the above without date, but probably previous to 1746. Sept. 30, 1752, Ephraim and his wife owned the covenant; May 1753, Abijah Powers and his wife Mary owned the covenant; June, 1767, Robert Powers and his wife owned the covenant." | Powers, Gideon (I3144)
|
| 415 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "Jacob Power located his farm in Littleton, on the south side of the Harvard Road, near to the town line, and adjoining that of Jonathon Adams, whose daughter he married for his second wife. He held some of the minor town offices, and although we see no mention of his 'pew place', we will presume that from the time Rev. Benjamin Shattuck was settled, April, 1717, at '50 [Pound], to be advanced 20 [Pound] pr. year until it reach 70 [Pound],' like a good citizen, he had his 'pew place' in the meeting-house in Littleton. Edith was a descendant of Henry Adams of Braintree." | Powers, Jacob (I2402)
|
| 416 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "Ruth Wheeler of Plainfield, Conn., supposed to be the daughter of Lieut. Joseph and Mary (Power) Wheeler, administered on the estate of 'Joseph Wheeler, her father,' about 1705." | Wheeler, Ruth (I3125)
|
| 417 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "Stephen, the oldest son of Dr. Stephen of Woodstock, settled on a farm one or two miles south of 'Woodstock Green', a well-to-do Vermont farmer, where all of his children were born. But at some time previous to 1817 he had become embarrassed, in consequence of becoming security for a friend, and that year sold out and left Woodstock for the West with his family, intending to settle in or near Cincinnati, Ohio; but stopped and spent the following winter with his son Jason who had previously bought and settled on a farm on what was known as 'The Holland Purchase', in western New York, arriving in Cincinnati, May 5, 1818, where he died August 29 following, aged 55 years. His wife had been left behind with the family of Jason on account of an accident that had happened to their son Stephen just as they were about to leave there, and did not reach Cincinnati until some weeks later. The shock of her husband's death and the hardships incident to the situation were too great a burden for her, and she survived her husband but six years. She died near Cincinnati, March 17, 1824." | Powers, Stephen Jr (I3591)
|
| 418 | From the Powers Family, published 1883: "The following was copied from his grave-stone in the public cemetery, by the common, in 1853. The literary critics of the present day might not approve of the phraseology, but we do not insert it for them: 'Here lyeth the body of Isaac Powers, One of the sweet and pleasant flowers; Let this be a lesson unto the rest, When God doth take from us the best, Who was a pattern to us all, But God can give a louder call, And earthly parents now behold, The price of grace is more than gold; Prepare to meet your children first, At the resurrection of the just.' | Powers, Isaac Jr. (I3132)
|
| 419 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "Thomas Power seems to have located on the north and westerly border of the town adjoining Harvard. He was the ancestor of the large family of the name in Greenwich, Enfield, Pittsford, Vt., and of perhaps the most noted of the descendants of Walter, viz.: Hiram Powers, the sculptor. He removed from Littleton, first to Wellington, from there Hardwick, to Quobbin, to Greenwich, in all of which places he seems to have owned land and to have been a man of note." | Powers, Thomas (I1396)
|
| 420 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "Walter Power, Jr., seems to have located in the northerly part of town, west of Spectacle Pond and adjoining Groton, near 'Brown Hill'. It would also seem that after the death of his brother William he became the owner of the old place at Concord Village. In 1723, in awarding the pews, the second 'pew place' was awarded to him, as paying the 'next to the largest tax.' Isaac Power's pew place was by the 'right-hand side of the south door,' while the 'pew place' of Thomas Power was on the right-hand side of Isaac Power. He also was probably buried in the 'usual place of burial,' but of that we have no record; but in May, 1853, the old gravestone of 'Rebekah, in ye 80th yr of her age,' was found freshly turned over by the plow of Mr. Reed." | Family: Walter Powers, Jr. / Rebecca Barrett (F1459)
|
| 421 | From The Powers Family, published 1883: "We have little record of Sarah, who married Moses Barron." | Family: Moses Barron / Sarah Powers (F1462)
|
| 422 | Genealogical and Family History of New Hampshire confirms that he died 1710, and lists the date as March 16, which was also his birthday, so the date might be wrong, but the year seems confirmed. | Powers, William (I1786)
