Jonathan Powell (1798-1867) born in Trallwyn, Breconshire. Jonathan died in Dowlais, he was a haulier/labourer for most of his life probably involved with the quarries in Vaynor at one time. Hi wife Rachel Griffiths (1804-1885) came from Llanon, Carmarthenshire and died in Dowlais. They came off the land and had an infinately better existance than if they had stayed working for farmers. One genealogist has suggested that Jonathan was from a line of gentry famers, there is no direct evidence for that other than unsubstantiated scraps of information that may match but probably do not.
He raised 6 children as posted above.
His first child, William Powell (1827-1881) worked as a cow keeper at one time and then married Martha Thomas and raised 2 children:
Jonathan (1857- )
Elizabeth (1859- )
They both married, Jonathan in Sep 1901 to Rachel Thomas, the 1911 census tells that they had 4 children but all 4 died, no names.
Elizabeth to Rees Jones on the 3 Oct 1882 at M.T> Reg Office. they had no children and both died relatively young.
So the first family from Jonathan failed to endure and that is the end of their line ...unless anyone out there knows different.
All these families started in Pengranddu and eventually moved down to Dowlais.

Thomas Powell was witness on our ancestors marriage record 9 Mar 1867 in Dowlais.
Our ancestor Michael Cantwell and Mary Hurley left that same year for Pennsylvania USA.
