This particular map was generated in 1861, and Powell was just a young sprout from Live Oak, Florida, joing the Confederate Army at the time. There appears to be a "Paine" family living in the area at the time - very strange indeed!

In the 1860 census, 4 listings down the page from John H Surratt is a Lloyd Payne and wife(?) Gorgiana. Lloyd is listed as a Blacksmith.

On the previous page is another family called Payne headed by Andrew at age 56. Andrew is a planter on $2000 worth of property.
