Bradford
Powell came to Richford, VT as early as 1799, then a young man about
twenty-years of age. Mr. Powell had much
to do in the business of the town. His
name appears as one of the first survyeors, as lister, and also deputy
collector of customs. He early formed a
co-partnership with his brother John and Horace Janes of St. Albans, and traded
for a time in a small store on the corner where Alvin Goff's dwelling house now
stands. the firm, however, did not live
very long. It was during the troublous
times of 1812-15, when Congress placed some proscription on trade, and as many
of their goods came from Canada, their trade was necessarily embarrassed. The cold season following Mr. Powell was
compelled to place an encumbrance on his real estate, which he was never able
to discharge. Mr. Powell married
Clarissa Goff, in April, 1803 and was the father of nine children. He died a comparatively young man. He was a member of the First Baptist
church. Mr. Powell has no surviving
children, but has several grandchildren living.
