- Sometimes presumed to have been the
daughter of David Strange (1762-1841) and Eliza Eubank,66 Elizabeth Strange was born in 1792, and is reported
to have had two brothers named John and David, and two sisters named Malinda and Sarah.67
Orphaned by Her Father by 1808
In 1808, Elizabeth‟s mother Elizabeth Strange née Eubank was still living, but her father apparently was
not. If Elizabeth was indeed bereft of a father by 1808, then her assignment as the daughter of David Strange
(1762-1841) cannot be correct.
Elizabeth Strange married Sam Powell, or Samuel Powell,68 in Albemarle County, VA, on 1808/3/9,69 or
1808/3/12.70
A researcher named Linda Williams of Blue Springs, MO,71 once reported that Samuel Powell married
Elizabeth Strange in Albemarle County, VA, on 1808/3/8. She further stated that the Orphans Book recorded
that Samuel Powell paid a $100 Bond to become the guardian of Elizabeth Strange, daughter of Elizabeth
Strange, on 1808/3/9, and that Elizabeth Strange‟s mother Elizabeth Strange was not deceased.
We have other records which show that Samuel Powell and Elizabeth Strange obtained their Marriage
Bond on 1806/3/9, and that they were married three days later by the Reverend Zachariah Emmerson on
1808/3/12.72 Another rather cryptic note stated “Bondsman: James Old; daughter of Elizabeth Strange,” and
seems to have been a separate record pertaining to the daughter.73
Elizabeth Powell died at ninety-eight years of age (born 1792) on 1890/5/8.74
