GEDCOM from Sue Hodnett, Caldwell, ID in Aug1998 to T. Mason; NOTES: Located him and family on several censuses--1850 Davies County, Mo, also 1870 same county, and 1900 same county. They lived in Monroe Township. His son, Powhatan III, was located on a 1900 census of Tulare County, CA.
I don't know what coincidence led him to marry a woman with the same name as his mother, but it happened, and is listed "Hannah" on censuses.CONFLICT-ERROR: The LDS IIGI Batch: M514861 1838-1881 Source: 0955649 V. A, C-D film indicates his wife was Hannah B. Gilbert. Obviously someone did NOT check the data before incorrectly assuming that his wife's last name was his mothers'.
GEDCOM from Sue Hodnett, Caldwell, ID in Aug1998 to T. Mason; NOTES: He apparently married, though I do not have wife's name. However, in the 1900 census for Powhatan's household, there is Powhatan,77, Hannah,74, Cravens, 38, and two new names, Virgie, 16, and Mary, 11, both born in Missouri. I might be wrong in assuming they are Cravens, but this is the way it looks.

RESEARCHER-DEATH: Information sent to T.Mason on 3 Oct 2003 by Bradley Canon [poll40@uky.edu]. "He was an innkeeper, operating "Traveler's Hall" on Main between Upper and Mulberry between 1796 and 1808. He also owned a tavern called "The Sign of the Buffalo" with John McNair in "commodious frame house" near Upper and Main (probably next to the inn) and bought it in its entirety when McNair died in 1802. He later ran an inn in Nicholasville. He lived to an advanced age and resided on his nephew Joseph Lee Downing's farm after he retired."
GEDCOM from Sue Hodnett, Caldwell, ID in Aug1998 to T. Mason; NOTES: I am not sure that his wife is Elizabeth Roberts; there is some question here, as there are two Johns in this family. I could have the wives in the wrong order. Will have to do more checking. This John owned an inn in the early days of Lexington and later at Nicholasville. He did marry, and have a family. Do not know who the children are. He was listed as a single man in Broad Crek Hundred in 1783, so he married after that date.
A Lexington merchant in early nineteenth century.
GEDCOM from Sue Hodnett, Caldwell, ID in Aug1998 to T. Mason; NOTES: This whole family appears to have died young.
He died in the cholera epidemic.
GEDCOM from Sue Hodnett, Caldwell, ID in Aug1998 to T. Mason; NOTES: This Francis was known as a good and an amiable man. He came from Maryland to Kentucky as a lad, and in 1786 and had a few adventures with the Indians while he lived at a fort in Bath county, KY, owned by a relative (we think Colonel Thomas Dye Owings; he is a Downing with a different spelling of the name.) Francis settled in the suburbs of Lexington and became a businessman. He died there about 1832. The man who owned the fort was a Thomas Dye Owings.
He appears to have married Rebecca Dunlap in 1814 in Fayette County.
There are writeups about some of his experiences with the Indians in the publication, the" History of Kentucky", by Richard Collins. It gives historical sketches of Kentucky.
