Narrative
"Walter Powers is a key figure in the New England branch of the North American Powers family, as many can trace their lineage back to him.
He was 14 when he left the Old World in 1654. Walter first appears in New England records as a witness in a trial in Middlesex County in 1654. He was a boy of fourteen at that time."

Event Note
Because the Town of Littleton, and the Shepard family, have very strong ties to Essex, England, and because of the documented Powers that begin to appear in English records around the time of the Norman invasion in 1066, there is some speculation that Walter was born in Bedford, England, and not Ireland. A very interesting account of early colonial life that addresses this issue can be found in Thomas Kree's historical account of the origin of Powers and Kree families (many thanks to Lorrie Scott for making this work available). |
