This is a "two-fer" for me; researching both the Richmond and Powers surnames (Rev. Isaac Perry Richmond & Adelaide V. Powers - see excerpt from J.B. Richmond book below). My Richmond line branches off from Rev. Isaac Perry Richmond's line after John(1) the original immigrant. My ancestor is Edward, son of John(1); Isaac's ancestor is John(2) son of John(1).
There is no discernible relationship between Adelaide V. (Powers) Richmond and my Powers family. However, Adelaide was a descendant of Walter & Trial (Shepherd) Powers, the same couple who were
ancestors of my "double" cousin, the late Connie (Brinley) Butterfield.
Adelaide Powers' father was
Philander Powers; her grandfather was
Walter Powers.

From the J. B. Richmond book:
Isaac Richmond's father was also named Isaac; a brief biography of Seth Richmond verified that information via this link:
The ancestors of Seth M. Richmond came from England and settled in Massachusetts, his father Isaac Richmond, having been born near Boston. His mother was Salona Perry, of Norton, Mass. They had eight children, six of whom were sons, as follows: Isaac, now living at Fulton, Oswego County, N.Y., at the age of ninety years; he was born at Augusta, Oneida county, N.Y., where all of the children were born, and where Isaac Richmond passed most of his life. Gardner, the next son, is deceased; Alvin, living in Little Falls at the age of eighty-six years, and a partner many years with his brother, Seth M., as described below; Nathan P., deceased; Parley, deceased; Phoebe married N. B. Cook, of Augusta, and living; Anna M., married W. E. Walton, of Munnsville, N.Y., and living; and Seth M., the subject of this sketch and a portrait, who was born at Augusta, on the 17th of May, 1818, between the birth of the two sisters mentioned.
