• Name	Reuben POWELL
  Born	1790	Loudoun Co, VA   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Census	1810	Bath Co, VA
  Census	1820	Harrison Co, (W)VA
  Died	1827	Harrison Co, (W)VA
  	Reuben Powell's will was probated in October 1832, leading some researchers to erroneously conclude that he had died earlier that year. But the 1827 Harrison County Minute Book entry pertaining to guardianship of his children shows that he had died prior to Nov 19 1827. The Harrison County Minute Book contains the following entry for Nov 19 1827: "The Court doth assign Eleanor Powell guardian to Benjamin, Ralph, Joseph, Nancy, William & Reuben, children of Reuben Powell, deceased, and thereupon the said Eleanor with Joseph Bailey gave bond in the penalty of $100 conditioned according to law."
