Ralph Newman Powers

My grandfather, Ralph Newman Powers, was the son of Richmond descendant, Addie (More) Powers.   I knew my grandfather very well, but what could actually be proven about who he was?  A lineage society, for example, would want to know.

In addition to my own personal knowledge that Ralph Newman Powers was my grandfather, Ralph was head of the household in 1930 and 1940 that included my father, Richard Newman Powers (check for other corroborating evidence, i.e., obituary, death record, marriage record).

Proof that Ralph N. Powers is the son of William S. and Addie (More) Powers is found on Ralph's birth record, his death record, as well as the naturalization records of both William and Addie.  In 1920, Ralph Powers was living in Genesee County, Michigan, with his parents.

In 1910 Ralph was living with his parents in Lapeer County, Michigan.  Ralph N. Powers's WWI Draft registration card his more information.  Ralph married (Jessie) Beatrice Cameron on March 29, 1924; his parents were listed as Wm. S. Powers and Addie Moore.


The 1900 census would be the first for Ralph N. Powers, and included his grandmother More:

Nancy Pitt, Daughter of Abigail (Richmond) Pitt

After stumbling across Nancy (Pitt) Benton Barnard in a deed in Livingston County, New York, at FamilySearch, I pursued my hunch that there was a possible Richmond family connection.  My clue Samuel Pitt who was mentioned in the deed.  The name of Pitt stuck with me because Helen Pitt (Nancy's niece) married the famous Frederick Douglass.

#1089* Nancy Pitt (6) was born 18 September 1774.

Nancy's RICHMOND lineage from the J.B. Richmond book:

Nancy (6) (Abigail Richmond 5, William 4, Silvester 3, Edward 2, John 1), was the daughter of Captain Peter Pitt, Jr., and Abigail Richmond.  Nancy Pitt and her siblings were born in Dighton, Massachusetts.  *J.B. Richmond book designated number

The Pitt family went to Genesee County, New York, and were the first white family in Ontario County.  They removed, about 1790, to what the Indians called Honega Flats, now the town of Richmond.

Nancy Pitt married (1st) David Benton:

Children of David and Nancy (Pitt) Benton:

Phoebe W. Benton m. Aldolphus Watkins of Lima, NY

Gideon Pitts Benton

Mary Benton m. John Gould

Ebenezer Benton m. Lavinia Freeman

Ebenezer Benton's will designated "heirs of David Benton" on 28 May 1812.  David's date of death was listed as 30 September 1803.

Nancy (Pitt) Benton married (2nd) Chauncey Barnard, David Benton's nephew.  Nancy Barnard died 22 February 1847.
