    Notes:

    She was the second wife of John Green Lea.

    In the obituary of John Bibb Powell reference is made to a
    half-sister, Mrs. John G. Lea of Danville, Virginia. Thus
    it is possible that Mildred Helen Powell and John Bibb
    Powell shared only one parent, probably a father, Mastin
    James Powell.

    Mastin Jefferson Powell apparently was married twice. Note that the obituary of his son William Brooks Powell refers to a half-brother named John B. Powell. And, the obituary of John Bibb Powell refers to three half-sisters. It appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.
    The 1850 US Federal Census (Caswell County, North Carolina) also lists a Mastin Powell (25, born in Caswell County, farmer), apparently with daughter Mary I. (3, born in Caswell County), and son John (1, born in Caswell County). These are children of the Mastin Jefferson Powell of this entry their mother would be Susan Hubbard.
