ADDITIONS FOR THE APHS HISTORY

We have some additions to include in the history: a chapter by Fred Wiseman about Wabanaki first people on Appletree Point;a  chapter of farm stories from Tim and Rolfe; and now, a genealogical narrative about Pfelix Powell from Lou Schultze (see description from Lou below).

We want to print this copy of the history in a more substantial form, worthy of donations to Fletcher Free and all our North End schools. (That's what your dues are for.)

Question:  Who has a link to info about Felix Powell in Dorset?  (Marge, did you find that and send it to us? Could you refresh that trail?)

Lea & Abby


Lou Schultze:  I am working on a narrative about the information developed on Felix Powell and his family. Once it is done, I'll send it to you. Did I send you a copy of the Land Deed noting the sale of Appletree Point property by Felix Powell? I have found that Felix's Parents were Felix Powell and Abigail Button. I haven't come up with the name of his wife, but he had a son, Felix Jr. They both fought in the Revolutionary War. I'll try to attach a copy of the Abstract Marriage License for Felix and Abigail and also the power of attorney filed by Felix in favor of Felix Jr., granting Felix Jr. power over the property Felix was left by his mother, Abigail.
