  Oct 2014 From Susan Lee Sheldon - connecshen(at)yahoo.com Dear Ms. Edson, I saw your entry in RootWeb concerning Orlin Clinton Powers. He is my gr-gr-gr uncle. His brother, Royal Wallace Powers is my gr-gr-gr grandfather. I am originally from Celoron, NY, and am now in many historical societies, including Daughter's of Union Veterans 1861-1865, National Society of Daughters of American Revolution, Stukely Westcott Descendants of America and the reenactment unit of the 148th New York Volunteer Infantry. Orlin Clinton Powers was in the 148th NYS Volunteer Infantry, and I proudly honor him. I would love to connect with you. I am trying to find photos of Royal Wallace Powers, and his family. If you have any old family photos, I would love to have you share these via email attachments, etc. I have Royal Wallace Powers Military and Pension Records. He was 5'8", blue eyes, light hair, with fair complexion. I have a photo of his daughter, Lorena Irene Powers Sheffield, with her children Ernest, Raymond and Ethel Mae, my gr-grandmother. I would love to hear from you. Thank you so much, Sincerely, Susan Sheldon PS I am looking for contact from all the families of Royal Wallace Powers, and his brothers and sisters descendants. 1.
