- Migrated to/Born in USA
Patrick and his brother, John C Powers and Michael Powers came to the US. Patrick and John settled in Oregon but it is unknown what became of Michael (though it is rumored he was a school teacher). Their parents were James Power and Margaret Morissey. We have found baptism records for the sons and the marriage record for the parents. In 1881 their father, James Power, wrote to the boys and the letter is from Stradbally, Co. Waterford. In the letter James also mentions a Mary, Thomas and William. It sounds like they were siblings and likely related to the Powers in some way. We have a photo of a Mary Powers from London, Ohio and she may be the Mary mentioned in the letter. The S was added to Power after the boys came to the US.
In the US Patrick ran a Saloon and John was a lumberman who later owned and operated mines.
