Hardy Powell, murdered 1782 in Dobbs Co., NC
I am researching the Bruton family in Dobbs (now Lenoir) County, NC.In March 1782 Joseph Bruton gave a deposition that he heard a gun shot and went to Hardy Powell's to investigate, finding Powell dead on his bed from a shot.Bruton indicated that he did not see anyone.The Brutons - John, Benjamin, George, Mary - lived in proximity to John Powell for several decades.Does anyone know of this Hardy and any further details of his murder?I'm hopeful to find more details on my Brutons.Thanks!
