of Levi and Nancy (Brewer) Powell. The father was born in North Carolina;

Precinct, where the parents died. Charles M. then bought out the heirs

and carried on this farm till [sic] January, 1872, when he came to his

perseverance, industry, and strict attention to business, he has acquired

a competency. He has owned over a 1,000 acres of land, a portion of

which he has given to his children; he now ownes [sic] where he resides

200 acres of land, also a grist and saw-mill, also 187 acres elsewhere in
