In History of Western Maryland, by J. Thomas Scharf ,(1882) on page 574

the fact that it is midway between Frederick and Boonsboro.It is situated
between the Catoctin and Blue Ridge Mountains, in the beautiful and fertile
Middletown Valley, and is on the old national pike, eight miles west of
Frederick City, and one mile from the Catoctin Creek. .....THOMAS POWELL was

Subject: [MDWashin] New to List _ Powell

I am looking for a Thomas Powell that has been identified on the 1850
Antrim, Franklin Co., PA census. He may have come from Md as it is listed
on later census' containing his children as fathers birthplace. I looked at
a map on the rootsweb site and there was a Powell Mountain, Could this be
the same family???? Thomas must have died before 1860 as he is not on the
census. I was able to track some of the family from this point forward, but
this is only my own. I dont know what happened to the rest of the Powell's
after 1860 or who they were before 1850. Any help is greatly appreciated.
