Robert Potterton1
b. 10 July 1823, d. 13 March 1901
| Relationships | 4th great-grandson of John Hinds Grandnephew of Walter Hinds | |
| Charts | Descendants of Thomas Gerrard of Gibbstown, County Meath, Ireland and his Brothers Descendants of John Hinds, including our Walters and Ralphs |
| Father* | Thomas Potterton1 b. 1777, d. 8 Nov 1847 | |
| Mother* | Eleanora Anne Hinds1 b. 1788, d. 15 Aug 1874 |
| Birth* | 10 July 1823 | Robert Potterton was born on 10 July 1823 in County Meath, Ireland,2 |
| Baptism | and was baptized in Athboy, County Meath.2 | |
| Education* | Robert was educated at Bannow Grammar School in County Wexford. He matriculated to Trinity College in Dublin at the age of nineteen, in May of 1842, but did not graduate BA until Spring of 1853. Like his brother Frederic, he probably worked his way through Trinity by teaching at Bannow which, according to the Joyce source, would account for his long period as an undergraduate.2 | |
| Occupation* | 1854 | Immediately after his graduation, Robert became a school inspector and was in temporary charge at Trim, County Meath, in 1854. Later that same year, he was briefly appointed District Inspector in Dunmanway, County Cork.2 |
| Marriage* | 22 August 1855 | He married Mary Kelly Waldron, daughter of Hubert Kelly Waldron, on 22 August 1855 in St. Mary's Church, Jervis Street, Dublin.3,4,2 |
| Marriage Settlement* | Mary's dowry was a farm, two hundred and sixty eight English acres at Annaduff, County Leitrim.2 | |
| No Issue* | Robert and Mary (Waldron) Potterton had no children.3,2 | |
| Education | Robert was studious by nature and, after his marriage, with his brother Frederic, he studied law at Trinity and graduated with a doctorate in 1864. He was also of a literary bent and wrote rhymes and would boast that "given a dictionary and a grammar, he could write a letter in any language". His Inspector’s Reports were sometimes over-the-top elaborate, "I may just observe that in no instance did the intimation of official displeasure exceed a mere reprimand for the past and admonition for the future."2 | |
| Occupation | 1873 | He was District Inspector in Loughrea in County Galway, Sligo in County Sligo, Tipperary in County Tipperary, Ennis in County Clare, Limerick in County Limerick and finally, from 1873, in Armagh, County Armagh.2 |
| Illness* | 7 March 1880 | Robert's over-achieving brain became mentally ill over time. According to Joyce, Robert's mental decline began to show in 1871 when he was only forty-eight. That year, he was absent for illness for seven months from his post as District Inspector in Limerick. Then, from 1874 until 1876, when he became District Inspector in Armagh, he was absent altogether. Further evidence that he may have had problems was provided by a deed of 1877. It recorded that his brother, William, acting as a trustee of Robert and Mary’s marriage settlement, took over the lease of the farm at Annaduff. In April 1880, Robert was listed on a deed as "of Armagh", although by that time he was actually in a mental hospital in Dublin. His wife Mary, on 7 March 1880, had had him committed to Hampstead, Drumcondra, a private mental hospital in the Dublin suburb, while she took up residence nearby at Alpine Lodge, Glasnevin. Robert, aged fifty-seven at the time, remained at Hampstead until his death twenty-one years later.2 |
| Death* | 13 March 1901 | He died of acute bronchitis on 13 March 1901 at Hampstead, Drumcondra, at age 77.2,1,4 |

| Deed Memorial* | 29 April 1814 | On 29 April 1814, Thomas Potterton of Ballaghtalion, County Meath, Esq. and his wife Eleanora Anne Potterton, otherwise Hinds, of the first part, Sarah (Gerrard) Hinds of Trim, County Meath, widow and mother of Eleanora Anne, Martha Hinds of Trim, spinster, daughter of Sarah, and John Hinds of the City of Dublin, gentleman and only son of Sarah of Trim of the second part, Anne (Gerrard) Gibney of Eccles Street in the City of Dublin, widow, John Small of Rutland Square in the City of Dublin, Esq. and Catherine (Gerrard) Small, his wife, and Rebecca (Gerrard) Hinds, widow of the third part, the Reverend Mungo Henry Waller of Allenstown in the County of Meath, clerk of the fourth part, and Thomas Hinds of Newtown in County Kildare, Esq. of the fifth part, made a Memorial of an indentured deed agreement. The deed began with a review of four pertinent events: William Gerrard's 1788 will and subsequent 1790 probate, the death of Matthew Hinds, husband of William's daughter Sarah (Gerrard) Hinds, before or in 1809, and the 1813 marriage settlement agreement for Thomas Potterton and Eleanora Anne Potterton. Reciting that William Gerrard of Dormstown, County Meath, gentleman, deceased, made his will dated 24 December 1788 and thereby, amongst bequests to his other daughters, bequeathed unto the Reverend Singleton Harpur, Robert Waller and James Gibney, his trustees, an amount of £1200 in trust that they and his survivors and the executors and administrators of such survivors, should place out the same at interest and permit his daughter Sarah Hinds to receive the yearly interest for her separate use. And further, that after the death of his daughter Sarah, the trustees, their executors and administrators, should transfer the £1200 to such of Sarah's children as should be then living, and that by her will she should approve and appoint his daughters Rebecca Hinds, Elizabeth, Anne and Catherine Gerrard executors. Reciting further that William Gerrard died without altering his will and that it was proved in the Court of Prerogative Probate granted to Elizabeth Gerrard, Catherine Gerrard, since married to John Small, and Anne Gibney, three of the executors named and that the £1200 bequeathed by the will to Sarah was secured by the bond of Robert Waller, deceased, then of Ministown in the County of Meath, Esq. bearing date of 22 February 1790 with an attorney's warrant for confession of judgment in the final sum of £2400 conditioned for payment of the principal sum of £1200 under the will of William Gerrard upon which Anne Gibney, Rebecca Hinds, John Small and Catherine his wife did, around 1809, obtain a judgment in the Court of Common Pleas against Robert Waller stating that Matthew Hinds, husband of Sarah, was since dead leaving his widow Sarah and three children, namely Eleanora Anne, Martha and John Hinds, all of whom had attained their respective ages of 21 years. Next the deed explained that, by an indented deed of four parts dated 26 August 1813 and made between Thomas Potterton, Anna Maria Donnelly and Hester Rynd of the first part, Sarah Hinds of the second part, Eleanora Anne, then Hinds, of the third part, and Henry Potterton, gentleman, and Rebecca Hinds of the fourth part, the deed recited that a marriage was intended shortly to be had between Thomas Potterton and Eleanora Anne Hinds, and reciting that £1200 was held in trust for Sarah, mother of Eleanora Anne, and that on the result of the marriage being accomplished, Sarah had agreed that £600 of the £1200 should be payable to Thomas Potterton immediately after Sarah's death; then the agreement witnessed that in consideration of the intended marriage and the £600, Thomas made a provision for Eleanora in case she should outlive him and her issue. The indenture further witnessed a deed in which Sarah, in consideration of the intended marriage, had made provisions for Eleanora Anne and did give, grant and appoint the £600, being one-half of the £1200, to Eleanora Anne, her executors, administrators and assigns to be payable to Eleanora Anne, her executors, administrators or assigns immediately after the death her mother, Sarah. Then it was witnessed that the marriage had taken effect and that Thomas Potterton, by virtue of his marriage settlement deed, was entitled to the £600 upon Sarah's decease and that Thomas desired to sell the £600 and had applied to Reverend Mungo Henry Waller who had agreed to the purchase. Thomas had agreed to accept £400, which Mungo had agreed to pay to him. The other parties to the deed had agreed to ratify and confirm the purchase and to relinquish to Mungo all their right, title and claim in default of an appointment by Sarah, or in case of the decease of any or all of her children in her lifetime, or in case Sarah should execute her power of appointment so as to otherwise disappoint Thomas and Eleanora Anne or their issue of the £600 or of any part thereof. The indenture witnessed that, upon execution of the agreement and in consideration of the £400 paid by Mungo to Thomas Potterton, and of £1 apiece paid to Eleanora Anne Potterton, Sarah (Gerrard) Hinds, Martha Hinds, John Hinds, Rebecca (Gerrard) Hinds, John and Catherine (Gerrard) Small and Anne (Gerrard) Gibney, Thomas and Eleanora Potterton, Sarah, Martha and John Hinds, did grant, bargain and assign, and Rebecca Hinds, John and Catherine Small, and Anne Gibney confirmed unto Mungo H. Waller, his executors, administrators and assigns, the principal sum of £600, and reciting that by deed and Memorial, Rebecca Hinds, John and Catherine Small and Anne Gibney did assign to Thomas Hinds as trustee, his executors, administrators and assigns, a judgment. It was thereby declared that the £600 was invested with Thomas Hinds in trust as to £600 and the interest thereof from the death of Sarah Hinds for Mungo H. Waller and the interest due and to grow due on the fact of the judgment in trust for Sarah Hinds, her executors, administrators and assigns for life. And after her decease, as to the monies secured by the judgment above, £600 for the person or persons whom Sarah should appoint. The deed and Memorial was signed and witnessed by each of the parties involved on various dates, and was registered on 4 May 1814.5 |
| (Brother-in-Law) Marriage Settlement | 12 January 1820 | A memorial of an indented deed of appointment dated 12 January 1820 was made between Sarah (Gerrard) Hinds of Ballaghtalion in the county of Meath, widow of the late Matthew Hinds of Trim in the said county, Esq., deceased, of the first part, Thomas Potterton of Ballaghtalion in said county of Meath, Esq. and Eleanora Anne Hinds, otherwise Potterton, and John Hinds of Jervis Street in the city of Dublin, attorney at law, of the second part, Matilda Hinds, daughter of the said Sarah Hinds, of the third part, and the Reverend James Matthews of Rathbeggan in the said county of Meath, of the fourth part.

| Father* | John Potterton1 d. 25 Mar 1738 |
| Name-Descriptive | The descriptive name used by the author of Potterton People and Places to clarify the identification of this Thomas Potterton, and to place him correctly within the Potterton family, was Thomas Potterton II.1 | |
| Birth* | 1701 | According to Potterton family tradition, Thomas was believed to have been born about 1701 in County Meath, Ireland. Questions arose, though, when a deed dated 1731 described Thomas as the only son of John, "then aged about 19." If Thomas was only 19 in 1731, he would have been born about 1712. The Potterton People author believed the 1712 date was incorrect as it did not align well with other known dates.1 |
| Marriage* | He married first ______ Wilson of Crookstown, County Kildare.1 | |
| Marriage* | 1735 | He married second Sarah Lamb in 1735 in St. Werburgh's, Dublin.1 |
| (Son) Probate | 5 April 1738 | His father's will, naming his wife Ellinor, son Thomas, and daughters Elizabeth and Abigail, was proved on 5 April 1738.1 |
| Inheritance* | Upon his father's death, Thomas inherited the leased properties of Rathcormick, County Meath.1 | |
| Will* | 22 September 1756 | Thomas Potterton II wrote his will dated 22 September 1756. It recorded his sons as Henry I, to whom he bequeathed Moyrath, John II, to whom he bequeathed Rathcormick, Thomas III, to whom he bequeathed Ballaghtalion, and Mark, to whom he bequeathed Pagetstown and Hardrestown. His will also identified his daughter Sarah, and his sisters Abigail Wilson and Elizabeth Walker.1 |

| Birth* | 1837 | Huldah A. Powell was born about 1837 in Kentucky.1 |
| (Heir at Law) Land Records | 3 August 1850 | A deed was prepared on 3 August 1850 in Barren County, Kentucky, which corrected and completed an earlier deed dated 21 June 1845. The earlier deed was made to carry out the Barren County Circuit Court's directive in a suit brought by Complainants Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell against Defendants Louisa Carver, the widow of Elisha Carver, and his infant children. Ruling for the Complainants, the court had directed that a certain tract of land which had been owned by Elisha Carver, deceased, and was in the possession of the Defendants, be conveyed to the Complainants, Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell. The names of two of Elisha's children, James L. Carver and Sarah F. Carver, were missing, we believe in error, from the original deed of conveyance and this second deed, which conveyed the same land, was prepared and filed as a correction of the omissions in the first. We note that Thomas G. Powell, one of the original Complainants, had died in 1846 and his children, James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell, replaced their father as Complainants with their uncle, Isaac D. Powell, in the 1850 deed, and that Sarah F. Carver, who had also died, was replaced as a Defendant by her stepmother, Louisa Carver. We also note that the line in brackets, [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory], which appeared in the original deed, was omitted in the second when the copy was made. Our transcription of the second deed follows: In a suit of Isaac D. Powell, Complainant, and Louisa Carver and others, Defendants, the Barren Circuit Court at the June Term 1850 made an order appointing William Garnett a Commissioner and directing him to convey on behalf of defendants James and Sarah F. Carver to the Complainant Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell, deceased, the land in the suit and 1 shilling mentioned. Said land contains 43 acres and lies in Barren County and is bounded as follows: Beginning at a sycamore and beech on Peters and Snells Creek, thence S 31 W 110 poles to a white oak and hickory [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory] on Graham’s Original line, thence with the same N 23 W 66 poles to a sugar tree and beech, thence N 60 E 27 poles to two beeches on the ridge, thence N 20 E 57 poles to a gum on Clark’s line, thence with the same S 82 E 76 poles to the beginning. Now, in consideration of the premises, I William Garnett as Commissioner do hereby convey to Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell deceased, to wit: James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell on behalf of James and Lousia Carver the land aforesaid to the said Isaac D. Powell and others, their heirs and assigns forever. To have and to hold free from the claim of said James and Louisa Caver, and all persons claiming under them, and agree on the part of the said James and Louisa Carver to warrant and defend the title to said land to said Isaac D. Powell, Defendant, from the claim of all persons to the extent of assets descended to said James and Louisa Carver from their father Elisha, deceased. Given under my hand and seal this 3rd day of August 1850. The signature of William Garnett, Commissioner, was sealed, and the deed was recorded in Barren County, Kentucky on 2 October 1851.2 |
| (Granddaughter) Census US 1850 | 28 August 1850 | Huldah A. was enumerated with her widowed mother and siblings on the 1850 census taken on 28 August 1850 in the household of her maternal grandparents, Sarah and Obadiah Britt, in Division 1, Barren County, Kentucky. Huldah was 13 years old.1 |

| Land Records | 3 August 1850 | A deed was prepared on 3 August 1850 in Barren County, Kentucky, which corrected and completed an earlier deed dated 21 June 1845. The earlier deed was made to carry out the Barren County Circuit Court's directive in a suit brought by Complainants Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell against Defendants Louisa Carver, the widow of Elisha Carver, and his infant children. Ruling for the Complainants, the court had directed that a certain tract of land which had been owned by Elisha Carver, deceased, and was in the possession of the Defendants, be conveyed to the Complainants, Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell. The names of two of Elisha's children, James L. Carver and Sarah F. Carver, were missing, we believe in error, from the original deed of conveyance and this second deed, which conveyed the same land, was prepared and filed as a correction of the omissions in the first. We note that Thomas G. Powell, one of the original Complainants, had died in 1846 and his children, James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell, replaced their father as Complainants with their uncle, Isaac D. Powell, in the 1850 deed, and that Sarah F. Carver, who had also died, was replaced as a Defendant by her stepmother, Louisa Carver. We also note that the line in brackets, [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory], which appeared in the original deed, was omitted in the second when the copy was made. Our transcription of the second deed follows: In a suit of Isaac D. Powell, Complainant, and Louisa Carver and others, Defendants, the Barren Circuit Court at the June Term 1850 made an order appointing William Garnett a Commissioner and directing him to convey on behalf of defendants James and Sarah F. Carver to the Complainant Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell, deceased, the land in the suit and 1 shilling mentioned. Said land contains 43 acres and lies in Barren County and is bounded as follows: Beginning at a sycamore and beech on Peters and Snells Creek, thence S 31 W 110 poles to a white oak and hickory [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory] on Graham’s Original line, thence with the same N 23 W 66 poles to a sugar tree and beech, thence N 60 E 27 poles to two beeches on the ridge, thence N 20 E 57 poles to a gum on Clark’s line, thence with the same S 82 E 76 poles to the beginning. Now, in consideration of the premises, I William Garnett as Commissioner do hereby convey to Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell deceased, to wit: James A.

| (Wife) Will | 15 October 1872 | Identifying himself as Obadiah Britt Sr., probably because his nephew, Obadiah S.

He named his only surviving son, Nelson Britt, his three surviving daughters, Sally Britt, Elizabeth (Britt) Houchens and Jane (Britt) Bewley, a grandson, John W. Woodcock, who was the son of his deceased daughter Ann Eliza (Britt) Woodcock, and a granddaughter, Artelia Britt, a daughter of his deceased son John Britt. Obadiah also mentioned his wife, Jane L. (Powell) Britt, although he did not name her, and mentioned Louisa (Harrison) Carver, the widowed mother of his daughter-in-law, Mary T. (Carver) Britt, wife of his son Nelson. He also named two neighbors with land adjacent to his, James H. Houchens, who was his grandnephew, and John Devasher. Signing as witnesses were John T. Rogers and Obadiah's brother, John W. Britt. Regarding his land, Obadiah made several mentions of a "creek", and we note that he was referring to Peter's Creek in Barren County, Kentucky. To his son Nelson Britt, he gave all of his tract of land "on this side of the creek" including his residence, and the bottom field on the other side of the creek next to John Devasher, to have the land on the top of the bluff. He also gave his son Nelson the interest he owned in the dower land of Mrs. Carver, reserving to his wife her dower in the same. To his daughter Sally he gave the room in his house that he then occupied, and directed that his son Nelson pay for her support out of the land during her life, and at her death to go to Nelson. To his grandson, John W. Woodcock, he gave 60 acres of the tract over the creek to be laid off next to James Houchens. To his daughters, Elizabeth Houchens and Jane Bewley, he gave them each $400 in the land over the creek, and directed that if the land should be purchased by his son, he was to have his own time in paying for it and was not to be harassed by law. To his granddaughter, Artelia Britt, he gave a cow, a bed and bed clothing. He also gave to his wife during her life, his household and kitchen furniture and, if there was a surplus of his personal property after paying his debts, and also a surplus arising from the sale of the land over the creek, said surplus was to be divided between Nelson Britt, Elizabeth Houchens, Jane Bewley and his daughter, Sally Britt. He appointed his daughter, Jane Bewley, executrix of his last will and testament, further directing that he wanted no appraisement of his property. Obadiah Britt signed and dated his will on 15 October 1872, with his brother, John W. Britt, and John T. Rogers signing as witnesses. Jane Bewley was interviewed before signing, and made her X mark.7,8,9,10 |

| Father* | Thomas G. Powell1 b. 1805, d. 31 Mar 1846 | |
| Mother* | Elizabeth Britt1 b. 29 Apr 1813 |
| Birth* | 1845 | John V. Powell was born about 1845 in Kentucky.1 |
| (Heir at Law) Land Records | 3 August 1850 | A deed was prepared on 3 August 1850 in Barren County, Kentucky, which corrected and completed an earlier deed dated 21 June 1845. The earlier deed was made to carry out the Barren County Circuit Court's directive in a suit brought by Complainants Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell against Defendants Louisa Carver, the widow of Elisha Carver, and his infant children. Ruling for the Complainants, the court had directed that a certain tract of land which had been owned by Elisha Carver, deceased, and was in the possession of the Defendants, be conveyed to the Complainants, Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell. The names of two of Elisha's children, James L. Carver and Sarah F. Carver, were missing, we believe in error, from the original deed of conveyance and this second deed, which conveyed the same land, was prepared and filed as a correction of the omissions in the first. We note that Thomas G. Powell, one of the original Complainants, had died in 1846 and his children, James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell, replaced their father as Complainants with their uncle, Isaac D. Powell, in the 1850 deed, and that Sarah F. Carver, who had also died, was replaced as a Defendant by her stepmother, Louisa Carver. We also note that the line in brackets, [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory], which appeared in the original deed, was omitted in the second when the copy was made. Our transcription of the second deed follows: In a suit of Isaac D. Powell, Complainant, and Louisa Carver and others, Defendants, the Barren Circuit Court at the June Term 1850 made an order appointing William Garnett a Commissioner and directing him to convey on behalf of defendants James and Sarah F. Carver to the Complainant Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell, deceased, the land in the suit and 1 shilling mentioned. Said land contains 43 acres and lies in Barren County and is bounded as follows: Beginning at a sycamore and beech on Peters and Snells Creek, thence S 31 W 110 poles to a white oak and hickory [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory] on Graham’s Original line, thence with the same N 23 W 66 poles to a sugar tree and beech, thence N 60 E 27 poles to two beeches on the ridge, thence N 20 E 57 poles to a gum on Clark’s line, thence with the same S 82 E 76 poles to the beginning. Now, in consideration of the premises, I William Garnett as Commissioner do hereby convey to Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell deceased, to wit: James A.

| Name Variation | His full legal name may have been Lorraine Larkin Powell.5,4 | |
| (Son) Census US 1920 | 2 January 1920 | L. L. was enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 2 January 1920 in the household of his parents in Police Jury Ward 1, Bossier Parish, Louisiana. He was 6 years old and attending school.5 |
| (Son) Census US 1930 | 4 April 1930 | L. was enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 4 April 1930 in the household of his parents at 3004 Avenue B, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. He was 16 years old and a student at a public school.6 |
| Marriage* | He married first, as her first husband, Evelyn Miller, daughter of Leonard W. Miller and Mattie Victoria Webb, probably in Texas.7,8 | |
| Arrested and Charged* | 13 November 1938 | Two young men, L. L. Powell, 25, and Rex Holt, 24, both residents of Cisco, were arrested on 13 November 1938 in Fort Worth, Texas, and charged with automobile theft and armed robbery of a service station. A third man, Pete Eudy, who had left the car a few minutes before Powell and Holt were arrested, later surrendered to police. The two men initially in custody readily admitted their part in the robbery, blaming whisky for their complicity. The men had stolen the car in Cisco, Eastland County, Texas and driven it to Stamford, in Jones County, Texas where they committed the robbery, then were apprehended with the car in Fort Worth.9,10,11,12,13 |
| (Accomplice) Criminal Conviction | 30 January 1939 | J. M. Eudy was the first of the three men to go on trial. He pleaded guilty to the 13 November armed robbery of a filling station in west Stamford and blamed his entanglement with the law on his two companions. Eudy told the court he had a wife and seven children and had understood he was accepting a ride to Fort Worth when he left his home with Rexford Holt and L. L. Powell. Those two men, the newspaper wrote, were currently in jail in default of bond, pending trial in connection with the same robbery. Subsequently, Eudy testified, he was informed the automobile in which he rode was stolen. He said his companions told him they were bound not for Fort Worth but El Paso, where a market assertedly awaited the car. Eudy said they drove a circuitous route to Stamford where a filing station was robbed, and then fled, but not to El Paso. The trio drove to Oklahoma City, failed to sell the automobile because they were without proper papers, then finally went to Fort Worth. He said he left his companions only 15 minutes before their arrest and later surrendered "to face the music." The jury, which was required in a trial on a capital offense even when the plea was guilty, sentenced Eudy to five years in state prison.9,10,11,12,13 |
| (Accomplice) Criminal Conviction | 2 May 1939 | The second man to go on trial in connection with the Stamford service station holdup on 13 November 1938 was Rexford Holt of Cisco, Texas. His trial began on Tuesday morning, 2 May 1939 in District Court, Anson, Jones County, Texas, with jury selection completed at noon. Testimony was presented during the afternoon, and attorneys' arguments were heard the following morning. Unfortunately, we did not find information in the newspapers about what the jury heard at his trial. We did learn, however, that they returned with their verdict after 30 minutes, found Holt guilty in connection with the holdup, and sentenced him to five years in state prison for armed robbery. At the time of Holt's conviction, the first of his accomplices to go on trial, J. M. Eudy, had already been convicted of the same crime. Eudy had also been sentenced to five years in state prison and had begun serving his sentence in April. The trial of the third man, L. L. Powell, was scheduled to begin the following day.9,10,11,12,13 |
| Criminal Conviction* | 4 May 1939 | His trial in connection with the Stamford service station holdup on 13 November 1938 began on Thursday, morning, 4 May 1939 in District Court, Anson, Texas. Powell was the last of the three men to appear in court. Both J. M. Eudy and Rexford Holt had been found guilty of armed robbery and had been sentenced to five years in state prison. Powell pleaded not guilty and jury selection was completed at 11 o'clock. The State called only two witnesses, the owner of the station that was robbed, and a customer who was inside the station at the time. The owner was the first witness examined, and testified that three men entered his station the night of the holdup but was unable to positively identify Powell. The customer, who was inside the station talking to Pete Eudy, who had previously been convicted in connected with the holdup, definitely identified Powell as the third man. It was established that J. M. Eudy was also called "Pete" Eudy. He said that Powell and Rexford Holt, who had been convicted the previous day, followed the owner into the station after their car had been serviced, and the holdup followed immediately. The customer testified that Powell was the one who locked him and the owner in the men's washroom while Eudy kept them covered at pistol point and Holt looted the cash register. The jury deliberated only 30 minutes, and returned a verdict of guilty, making Powell the third and last man convicted in the holdup. He was sentenced, as were his two accomplices, to five years in state prison.9,10,11,12,13 |
| Prison Records* | 25 May 1939 | His official sentencing date was 4 May 1939, the date of his conviction, and he was transferred from the jail to the Texas State Penitentiary, Huntsville, Walker County, Texas, on 25 May 1939 where he was processed into the prison system as L. L. Powell, with the notation that he was also known as Larry Lorraine Powell. His processing information included that he was 28 years of age, although he was actually only 25, that he had been born about 1911 in Texas and that both of his parents had been born in Texas. He was 5' 7¼" tall, weighed 137 lbs., had a ruddy complexion, blue eyes, brown hair and cut scars on his forearm, hand and upper lip. His religion was Catholic and he wore a size 6 shoe. He had temperate habits, was married, permitted marital relations, and used tobacco. He could read and write, had been schooled for 9 years, and had worked as a typist, bookkeeper and accountant. His residence was recorded as Cisco, Jones County, Texas, and he had pleaded not guilty to burglary and robbery with firearms and been sentenced to five years. His scheduled release date was 4 May 1944.14 |
| Census US 1940* | 16 April 1940 | L. Lorraine Powell was enumerated on the 1940 census taken about 16 April 1940 in the Penitentiary Block of Walls Texas Prison, Huntsville, Walker County, Texas. He was a prisoner, 28 years of age and married. He had completed his education through the 1st year of high school and had lived in Eastland, Eastland County, Texas in 1935.15 |
| Divorce* | Larry Lorraine Powell and Evelyn (Miller) Powell were divorced, possibly as early as 1940, and certainly before Evelyn married her second husband about 1943. Larry remarried in 1948.1,16,17,18,19 | |
| Conduct Records* | 26 November 1940 | The Prison Conduct Register for Larry Lorraine Powell, Convict# 91658 at the Huntsville, Walker County, Texas, included the following events: 18 October 1939 Ranked (punished) and lost all overtime and commutation time for threating an official by saying, "If anyone causes me to be ranked, my family will attend to them" 21 October 1939 Moved to the Harlem Prison Farm in Fort Bend County 3 March 1940 Returned from Harlem Prison Farm to Huntsville 18 October 1940 General Manager ordered his record cleared without restoring any lost time 26 November 1940 Governor granted six (6) month reprieve with orders to report to McLennan County Parole Board 25 May 1941 Governor granted one (1) year extension to reprieve with order to report to Tarrant County Parole Board 4 June 1942 Governor granted Conditional Pardon.20,21 |

A third man, Pete Eudy, who had left the car a few minutes before Powell and Holt were arrested, later surrendered to police. The two men initially in custody readily admitted their part in the robbery, blaming whisky for their complicity. The men had stolen the car in Cisco, Eastland County, Texas and driven it to Stamford, in Jones County, Texas where they committed the robbery, then were apprehended with the car in Fort Worth.2,3,4,5,6 |

Powell was the last of the three men to appear in court. Both J. M. Eudy and Rexford Holt had been found guilty of armed robbery and had been sentenced to five years in state prison. Powell pleaded not guilty and jury selection was completed at 11 o'clock. The State called only two witnesses, the owner of the station that was robbed, and a customer who was inside the station at the time. The owner was the first witness examined, and testified that three men entered his station the night of the holdup but was unable to positively identify Powell.

| Birth* | 1840 | Nelson T. Powell was born about 1840 in Kentucky.1 |
| (Heir at Law) Land Records | 3 August 1850 | A deed was prepared on 3 August 1850 in Barren County, Kentucky, which corrected and completed an earlier deed dated 21 June 1845. The earlier deed was made to carry out the Barren County Circuit Court's directive in a suit brought by Complainants Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell against Defendants Louisa Carver, the widow of Elisha Carver, and his infant children. Ruling for the Complainants, the court had directed that a certain tract of land which had been owned by Elisha Carver, deceased, and was in the possession of the Defendants, be conveyed to the Complainants, Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell. The names of two of Elisha's children, James L. Carver and Sarah F. Carver, were missing, we believe in error, from the original deed of conveyance and this second deed, which conveyed the same land, was prepared and filed as a correction of the omissions in the first. We note that Thomas G. Powell, one of the original Complainants, had died in 1846 and his children, James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell, replaced their father as Complainants with their uncle, Isaac D. Powell, in the 1850 deed, and that Sarah F. Carver, who had also died, was replaced as a Defendant by her stepmother, Louisa Carver. We also note that the line in brackets, [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory], which appeared in the original deed, was omitted in the second when the copy was made. Our transcription of the second deed follows: In a suit of Isaac D. Powell, Complainant, and Louisa Carver and others, Defendants, the Barren Circuit Court at the June Term 1850 made an order appointing William Garnett a Commissioner and directing him to convey on behalf of defendants James and Sarah F. Carver to the Complainant Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell, deceased, the land in the suit and 1 shilling mentioned. Said land contains 43 acres and lies in Barren County and is bounded as follows: Beginning at a sycamore and beech on Peters and Snells Creek, thence S 31 W 110 poles to a white oak and hickory [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory] on Graham’s Original line, thence with the same N 23 W 66 poles to a sugar tree and beech, thence N 60 E 27 poles to two beeches on the ridge, thence N 20 E 57 poles to a gum on Clark’s line, thence with the same S 82 E 76 poles to the beginning. Now, in consideration of the premises, I William Garnett as Commissioner do hereby convey to Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell deceased, to wit: James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell on behalf of James and Lousia Carver the land aforesaid to the said Isaac D. Powell and others, their heirs and assigns forever. To have and to hold free from the claim of said James and Louisa Caver, and all persons claiming under them, and agree on the part of the said James and Louisa Carver to warrant and defend the title to said land to said Isaac D. Powell, Defendant, from the claim of all persons to the extent of assets descended to said James and Louisa Carver from their father Elisha, deceased. Given under my hand and seal this 3rd day of August 1850. The signature of William Garnett, Commissioner, was sealed, and the deed was recorded in Barren County, Kentucky on 2 October 1851.2 |
