My father Lewis, was the son of Cader Powell and my mother Helen was the daughter of Arthur Cotten. My grandmother Cotten was a Rutland; of my grandmother Powell, I have no knowledge as she died before my day. My father [Lewis] died in his 36th year, when I was almost six years of age. He left six sons and one daughter. . . My mother remained a widow a few years. She sent me to school and I worked on the farm. Then she married Moses Tyler, who was very strick; frequently at the dawn of day he would have me out on business.”
