Did you ever run across the Pownall name with your Ely family in Hampshire Co? I descend from an Isaac Pownall who died in 1813 in Hampshire Co, VA (WV) and the family lines came from Bucks Co, PA. Isaac's wife in Hampshire Co. was said to be Martha Ely but I don't have confirmation yet. In the Northern Neck Land Grants, there is a grant in the 1780's for land in Hampshire Co. for "Isaac Pownall, assignee of Benjamin Ely" so I know there are ties between the two families. Any help on this? Thanks.
