Son of Joseph Powell & Susan Lawson.
In his death record, he is identified as Thos. Powell, age (obscured, second digit 2), married, farmer; died Jan 28 1906, cause of death consumption. But the headstone of H. T. Powell at Keys Cemetery has dates Apr 2 1840 - Feb 10 1906, age 65. The reverse side of the headstone indicates the burial of Martha Powell, May 11 1845 - Feb 15 1924, "Wife of H.T." "Doddridge County Cemeteries," Vol I, p. 70, correctly reports this headstone information, noting also that H. T. Powell's obituary appeared in the West Union Record of Feb 23 1906. Based on the obituary date, the correct death date is probably the Feb 10 shown on his headstone, with the Jan 28 entry in the handwritten ledger-style death record a likely clerical error.)
Henry Thomas Powell was a veteran of the Civil War, serving from Sep 24 1861 to Dec 1864. He was a Corporal with Co M, 6th W.Va. Infantry.
NOTE: Henry Thomas Powell occasionally went by his middle name, resulting in his military record sometimes being confused with that of Thomas S. Powell (1845-1923), who was a Private with Co L, 1st W.Va. Cavalry.
