Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in 1900 Census as May 1845, but obituary and death record state Dec 29 1845. But age 11 in the 1860 Census puts his birth in about 1849. Although his obituary and death record give his birthplace as Virginia, his marriage record states Greene County, Pennsylvania. At the time of his birth, the border separating Greene Co, Pa, and Monongalia Co, (W)Va, was not well-defined. Note (2) Although his obituary and death record state that he was buried at the Victory (Baptist) Cemetery, his marker is actually found at a nearby cemetery, the Wolverton Cemetery. According to "Doddridge County Cemeteries," Vol I, p. 123, the Wolverton Cemetery "was started after the small cemetery beside the Victory Baptist Church was filled. Sometimes referred to as the new Victory Baptist Church Cemetery in the West Union Record. Also referred to as the Powell or Victory Cemetery in the WPA 1933 reading." Note (3) The state-issued Civil War medal intended for Thomas S. Powell was never claimed and remains in storage at the West Virginia State Archives in Charleston. Note (4) In household of son Charles and his family. Note (5) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Feb 1882, but date on headstone is 1881. Note (6) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Sep 1882. But age in other censuses and in marriage record put it in about 1884 or 1885, while date on headstone is 1883. Note (7) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Nov 1886.
