Shirle y Stewart, Living in Fremont, CA Roxie Grant, Living in Baltimore, MD ----------A Church in the Hills Excerpts from the book ROXIE A Man After My Own Heart The story of the life of Rev. Roxie Pow ell and his wife Minya in the Methodist Ministry -----------By Minya Kerr Powell It was the custom in the hills of Kentucky at this time (1911) for the women and childre n to go inside for the meeting. Most of the men stayed outside where they talked of crops, h orse trading, and politics which along with their Kentucky bourbon often led to fights. It w as manly to be noisy but not enough to break up the meeting. Gunfire however, was not uncommo n and a knife was as essential as a man's breeches. These men were family men and it was al l in good humor. Even the young-bloods who dashed away on their horses firing an occasiona l blast when the meeting ended did so in good spirit. Roxie was often among the crowd outside the church. It was the place to visit and get th e news. When the revival season came, some of the men went inside to listen and get religion . But not Roxie. Eventually he found himself standing alone outside the little Methodist Chu rch called Antioch, where his mother had attended church. He listened to hymns being sung . He realized that at the age of nineteen he had never "looked between the lids of a Bible. " He thought of his mother in heaven with a longing for her that urged him to go inside. Th at night at the altar he found Christ. From that moment his life and his interests changed. That summer he worked all day in the fields plowing corn. On Wednesday night he rode hi s horse nine miles to a prayer-meeting at his grandmother's Baptist Church near Rosehill. O n Thrusday night he rode his horse seven miles to the Methodist Church where he had been conv erted. After preaching the sermon, Brother Sawyer of this church would say, "I'm turning the me eting over to Brother Roxie," and he sat down. One night Brother Sawyer made the announcemen t, "Tomorrow night, Brother Roxie will preach the sermon." This all began on Arpil 3, 1911 . By the time August arrived he knew what he wanted to do with his life. Instinctively Roxie knew his education was not adequate. He had managed to finish the e ighth grade in a country school called Follis Run, where he had shared an old-fashioned doubl e seat with his cousin Earl Lester. The year following his conversion he was able to go to s chool in Enterprise Flordia, where he earned his expenses working in the school dining room. The next year he enrolled in the academy at Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky. Sinc e he was licensed to preach he was given a small charge of three churches at places called Ba rren Creek, Pittsburg, and Broadhead. These were mining communities "up in the hills of Kentu cky" where he gathered many of the stories that he so loved to tell. The pay was small and irregular, but it helped to provide the bare necessities if not mu ch else. Often there was the problem of the train fare to his appointment on Sunday morning , yet somethow, it always appeared before the train pulled out. These mountain men were capable of providing a rugged enough experience for any young pr eacher. There was always the possibility of a fist fight or a stray shot might break up th e meeting. Most new preachers refused to come back the second time. The miners hated weaklings. They considered preachers in that class, but if they coul d respect a man he had no futher trouble. Roxie understood these men who stood outside the c hruch, for he had been one of them. When they saw he was not afraid of their guns nor thei r muscles he had their respect. Editors Note: This was the start of Roxie Powell's 45 years in the ministry. In 1916 h e left Kentucky for Kansas, first to continue his education and then to Pastor churches in ma ny places across Kansas. On his retirement on September 22, 1967 he wrote in his date book , "45 years in the ministry. I would do it again."

Mary Ann "Polly" POWELLBorn Jul 30, 1779 at <, Virginia> [316552.ftw] The Three Sisters would like to contact descendants of Fields and Polly Powell Pruitt. Conta ct powell@cswnet.com if you are researching this line. Pruitt Missing pieces from the family history puzzle can make family research frustrating. Thr ough Ardis Phillips Rasperger we have recently filled in two missing pieces in our family puz zle. Two daughters of Charles and Sarah Powell, Rhoda and Mary Ann (Polly), married in Merce r County and shortly thereafter disappeared from all Kentucky records. Rhoda married Georg e Cole March 11, 1790 and Mary Ann married Fields Prewitt November 13, 1797. Since we foun d no George Cole nor Fields Prewitt on the 1810 census for Mercer County we have always assum ed the sisters and their families probably left Kentucky together. When Ardis told us Field s and Mary Ann Prewitt settled in Illinois we decided to look for George Cole there also an d found the sisters together as we expected. Land records in Bond County, Illinois indicate Fields Prewitt, Jr. and his father Field s Prewitt, Sr. moved to Illinois about 1807. This was the same time Charles Powell, Sr. an d Sarah Powell separated. When Sarah accused Charles of threatening to sell his land and lea ve the state with his slaves, maybe he was thinking of going to Illinois with his daughters. Fields Prewitt, Jr. (the name is now spelled Pruitt) was a son of Fields Prewtt, Sr. an d Mary Burke. They settled first in Bond County, Illinois and later Morgan County, Illinois . The know children of this couple are: 1. Sarah (Sallie) b. Nov. 20, 1799 mar. John Sampl e ca. 1817 Bond Co. Ill. 2. Patsy b. May 19, 1810 mar. Lowery Hoskins 1829 3. David D. mar. S arah McDaniels 1829, Ill. 4. Nancy mar. Daniel Boothley 1830, Ill. 5. Fields mar. 1 Mary An n ca. 1840 in Tx., mar. 2 Rhoda Barker ca. 1855 John and Sallie Sample were parents of fourteen children, all born in Morgan County nea r Jacksonville. They were Southern Baptists and quite active in the Church. Fields Prewitt is listed on the 1818 census of Bond County with two white males over 2 1 and nine other white inhabitants. In 1820 he is in Morgan County with one male over 21, tw o males under 21, and five females. His son-in-law, John Samples is listed with one male ove r 21, two males under 21, and two females. George Cole with one male over 21, two males unde r 21, five females, and one slave is shown close by. Robert Cole, surely George's and Rhoda' s son, is listed right after George with one male over 21 and one female. In 1830 Fields and David Prewitt are both shown in Morgan County on page 128 of the cens us, John Samples and Robert Cole are both on page 72, Joseph Cole is on page 71, and George , Charles, and William Cole are all on page 79. Stephen and Elijah Cole are also listed. A. F. Prewitt is found on the 1840 Morgan County census with a male and female both 60-7 0, and I would assume this to be Fields and Mary Ann. Robert Cole also appears on this censu s. There is no trace of Fields or Mary Ann Prewitt or Robert and Rhoda Coleon the 1850 Morga n County census, so we assume all four died ca. 1840-1850. I was pleased to see on the 1850 census that these two sisters had children still livin g next to each other. House 562 is Robert Cole, probably Rhoda's first son; and House 561 is Charles Samples, eldest child of John and Sallie; Hous e 563 is John and Sallie Sample . I do not know any more about the fate of Rhoda's children, but the children of Fields an d Sallie Prewitt seem to leave Morgan County one by one after 1850. David Prewitt reportedl y went to Adams County, Illinois. Ardis reports her line of descent from Fields Prewitt as follows: James Monroe Sampl e & Rufina Hamilton; Mary Isabel Sample & James House; Addie House & Charles Phillips; Ardi s J. Phillips. She goes on to say, My grandparents, James & Mary House came to Jackson Count y, MO in 1883 and both died here. I have three children, ten grandchildren and nineteen grea t- grandchildren so I have lots of reasons to find all I can about our ancestors. With this information about the fate of Mary Ann and Rhoda we come closer to a complet e picture of the family of Charles and Sarah Powell. The missing pieces in our puzzle are slo wly coming to light.
