Subject: [SCOCONEE] Old Homestead on the Tugaloo River
Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2003 20:16:30 -0600

In 1822 Almon Powell purchased 300 acres from Richard Holden on Tugaloo
River in Pendleton District. This area became Pickens County. Then in
1835 he purchased additional land along Brasstown Road in two different
places along the above mentioned 300 acres. There is record of their
homestead being on this property.

I have never been able to find the burial place of Almon and his wife
Elizabeth Powell. My question is, are there any old homesteads along
the Tugaloo River which could be this old? I am wondering if there are
family grave yards that have not been surveyed..

Almon Powell died in Horse Shoe, Pickens Co., SC 1857 and Elizabeth died
between 1860 and 1970.
