Notes for Samuel Hoshour POWELL

Samuel was named for Prof Samuel K Hoshour, family friend and
preacher, who organized the Christian Church of Cambridge City, IN, in
1839 which included many of the Powell family.

He was only two years old when his mother died and was apparently left
behind in IL with an older sibling when his father moved to MO. In
August, 1863, brother, Joseph took him to MO for a visit and he stayed
for awhile.

3/1866 He was mentioned in the Moultrie Co, IL, treasurer's report,
specifics not given, but was apparently old business as he had died a
few months prior.
Some family members believe he was killed in action during the Civil
War and perhaps he was. However, the dates of service given, from
1861-1865, do not coincide with his age and other events of his life.
He may have joined up after returning from the trip to Missouri in
1863 to visit his father.
