Very little of the early history of Philip Powell is upon record; and the memories of the few persons still living who have any knowledge of him are so imperfect that but little can be ascertained. I could find no record to show positively where or when he was born, or who his ancestors were. But the circumstantial and incidental testimony in my possession goes to show that his grandfather was William Powell, one of the five brothers who came from South Wales to Camden County, New Jersey, about 1685. William afterward moved to Pennsylvania, near the City of Philadelphia, and was the father ot John Powell, who moved to Lancaster County, Pa., in 1736, where he owned land. John Powell was the father of Philip Powell; and that Philip Powell was born in Lancaster County, Pa., about the year A. D. 1743. Nothing more is definitely known of him until he was married, probably in 1769, to a German lady by the name of Julia Ann Miller, who had lately come from Germany.
