Notes for Powell L. & Margaret Ann (Family)
I am not entering their children because this family is in my database only to document that the Powell Rose who was the son of William B. Rose and Nancy Williams is not the same one who married Mary W. Griggs in Bath Co., Ky. (The latter was the son of Bowen Rose and Comfort Ingram, my 1C6R.)
Census
1870 census of Wolfe Co., Ky, Hazle Green P.O., enumerated 12 July, lists on p. 13 as family #82:
Rose, Powel, 27, farmer; Margaret A., 20; Nannie V., 2; Mary E., 2/12, b. April. All born in Kentucky.

1880 census of Wolfe Co., Ky, precinct 8, enumerated 14 June, lists on p. 19 as family #158:
Rose, Powell, 37, farmer; Margaret A., 30, wife; Nancy V., 12, dau; Mary E., 10, dau; Samuel C., 8, son; Sarah B., 4, dau; Dora E., 2, dau; Arzela, 4/12, b. Jan, dau. All born Ky Ky Ky.

They are among a large group of Rose families (six on this page, and three on the previous page), including Powell’s brother Silas in the preceding household, and his widowed mother and younger siblings in the one above that.

1900 census of Wolfe Co., Ky, Campton precinct, enumerated 5 June, lists on p. 4B as family #31:
Rose, Powell L., 57, b. Dec 1842, farmer; Margaret M., wife, 51, b. May 1849, married 32 years, mother of 11 children, 9 living; Arzella, dau, 20, b. Apr 1880; Isaac, son, 17, b. June 1882; Darinda, dau, 15, b. June 1884; Lula, dau, 11, b. Feb 1889. All born Ky Ky Ky.

The middle initial “M” for Margaret is probably a mishearing of Ann. The next household is headed by their son Samuel Rose, age 28, b. Jan 1872.
