  • Notes 
    • Here is the obituary of Elanor Powell John transcribed by my Gr. Aunt Grace in her handwriting. Items in Parenthesis were added from a similar obituary transcribed in Beers "History of Darke Co., OH". "Died June 22, 1848 at the age of 81 (4 months, and 12 days), (2nd child of 8) of Rev. David Powell (Baptist) of Bedford Co., PA. Jan 25, 17(8)5. She married David John of Little Cove, Franklin Co., PA and became the mother of 13 children. On the spring of 1810, the whole family emigrated to Madison Twp., Montgomery Co., OH. On Nov 12 (10th), 1812 David John died leaving Eleanor in charge of a large family in a new country to encounter all the privations of such a situation as best she could. (but being a woman hale and industrious and with a confiding trust in God, she was enabled to bring up her family respectably and to see them settled in life. At the time of her death her children numbered thirteen, her grandchildren seventy-one, her great grandchildren thirty-seven, making her descendants 121.)
      She was a consistent member of the Wolf Creek Baptists Church where she maintained a very credible standing all through the years.
      She was as well and extensively known, loved and respected by both the rich and the poor as any other womean of her day and time. "
      Elanor is in the 1820 census for Madison Twp., Montgomery Co., OH. She purchased Troy lots 102, 110-111 in 1832 in Miami Co., OH that had been purchased by many of her children in 1830. In 1835, son Joseph R. John purchased Troy lot 111, probably from her. (C-2316)
