James Powell (c1807 - 1846) was the third son and ninth of 11 known children of Isaac Powell and Isaac's second wife Elizabeth Hutton. James also had at least five half-siblings from Isaac's first wife Hannah Baily. James was born in Chester County, PA, probably in East Fallowfield Township.

James married Susannah B. Thorn, daughter of Joshua Thorn and Nancy Ann Lanham, on 21 Oct 1832, according to Marriage Bond Records Monongalia County (West) Virginia 1796-1850 by Mrs. Owen Crickford. James and Susanah had the following chldren:
