William Powe Birth: Oct. 22, 1766 South Carolina, USA Death: 1840, USA William Powe is buried in the family cemetery located behind the house he built in 1811. It is said that William Powe asked the family to bury him in a plot behind the house and he wanted no tombstone at his grave--just a lightwood knot be placed at his head. Until a few years ago one remained there. After the lightwood knot was gone descendants joined together to purchase a headstone for William Powe and to put a chainwire fence around the cemetery. In this year of 2003 the house is still standing but is in much need of repair. It is privately owned by persons unrelated to the Powe family.

S. Davis: Samuel Henry Powe was a member of the Legislature from 1854-1858. In May 1861 he went to the Civil War as a first lieutenant in the Wayne Rifles, which was afterwards known as Company B, Thirteenth Mississippi Regiment. He was promoted to captain in July, 1862 after Capt. W. J. Eckford was killed in the seven days of battles around Richmond. In 1863, being unable to perform the labors in the infantry service, he resigned and joined the cavalry and was elected first lieutenant, where he served in Adam's Brigade, Forest's command until the close of the war. He was kind to all his men and was always doing everything he could for their welfare, especially those that were sick and wounded. The title of "Colonel" was bestowed on him by one of the governors of this State. Colonel Powe was a man of great energy. At the close of the war he came home and found his property gone; but he was not the man to complain, and went to work and was soon in independent circumstances. He was a man of fine memory and splendid conversational power. He was personally acquainterd with many of the leading men both State and National. He remembered well the great Indian, Pushmataha, chief of the Choctaws, whom his father had entertained. He married Henrietta McWillie Stover on October 2, 1850. Together they had eight children. These children are listed under Henrietta McWillie Stover's biography.
