Most of the 1890 record burned in 1921
The 1900 record lists age, month and year of birth. This info for James L Powell is blank. The 1880 record indicates he was born about 1848.
Wood county marriages for the timeframe of marriage between James L Powell and Mrs. Manerva Rouse are online, I did not find one for them. I have Franklin county marriages starting in 1895 through the 1930's except for the year 1910.
The Powell's may have lived close to Winnsboro area. I know that there is a Franklin County marker sign in the city of Winnsboro on the highway from Winnsboro and Mt. Vernon.

..same Fannie Phelps that married Lyman Powell. Since I did not find James L Powell in the 1930 record he could have had a son also named after him ? Fannie would have been about 14 when they married.
