David Powers, Texas to Louisiana
Looking for any information on a David Powers/David J. (Jefferson) Powers, from the general area of East Texas who disappeared about 1850 - 1852.He was born about 1826 and died about 1890 in St. Landry Parish (County), Louisiana.He married my gg grandmother in St. Landry Parish in 1852.David Powers is my gg grandfather and I was recently informed by a relative that David was originally from Texas, something which we previously didn't know.
According to this new information, David Powers may have left Texas and headed to Louisiana due to a serious brush with the law.It's also quite possible/probable he left behind a family in Texas when he left.We have no information on David prior to his marriage to my gg grandmother, so it's quite possible that the story of his flight from Texas to Louisiana may have some legs to it.We would love to find out about his background/origins.If anyone has any information, help, hints or suggestions regarding David Powers please contact me at [email protected] in advance!
