20/12/1827 - 20/12/1828 (BT98/116) Master (38?) Nymph of Plymouth M/Roll
05/12/1829 - 17/12/1831 (BT98/117) Master (45) Providence of Plymouth M/Roll
*Dates are those indicated by the Muster Rolls. How could Mathew be in two
ships at the same time?
The Good Statesman was commandeered by the Government in 1813 and Mathew sailed
on another ship. They still used his name as the Master and it was signed by
another person for him.
He misread the name to be Matesman instead of Statesman. When I saw the actual
paper it had strange Ss to look like a fancy M :)
Later on I was looking at the Plymouth BT98s of 1836-1847 and found that this
Austin POWER would take the place of our Thomas POWER as Mate on different
ships. Thomas would leave for another ship and Austin would take his place as
Mate. So I bought his marriage certificate of 26 March 1844 and found he was
Mathew's first son.

I recently obtained a photo of Thomas POWER's gravestone ...along with most of
his family in the same plot....Toxteth Park Cemetery. If you are interested in
it please let me know eh. Seems like the family dies early eh. Is your POWER
family from Frederick Ernest POWER? If so I would love one of them to do their
Y-DNA with the rest of us eh. I only know Paddy from that branch...in Plymouth
England....but he has only ever replied to me three times since July 1999. And
only to let me know he has changed his email address. Even getting him to do
his Y-DNA would be great.
Since starting the POWER et al Project in late 2002 we have gained 66
participants. Four are Irish...two brothers....and the remainder, except for
me....are American. Two thirds of us are of Breton origin (de la POHER) whilst
the other third are of Norman origin (de POER). I am of the latter but have two
mutations...one on the CDYb and on the 534 markers. I would like Ariel or Paddy
to do their Y-DNA so I could see if they match those two mutations....which
they should, seeing as how we all come from Thomas POWER.
If they do not have that mutation then it would tell me that they occurred only
recently since Hiram or Bertram were born....maybe when Dad was born (Ainsleigh
Lesley). My surprise was when I was told there was a Steven Michael Richard
POWER in the family. That is my number two son's name eh :). After he left the
Air Force he went to University and became an Engineer Designer. Lives in
Adelaide. Heard he might be considering taking up a position in Denmark.
Ps Have you done any Y-DNA testing with your relatives? It helps find the exact
ancestor. i.e. I noticed one comment was they had got back to a Richard but
then there were too many people with the same surname in the area and so could
not go back any further. If they got all those surname people to do their Y-DNA
(Males) then it would show the way to their ancestor and close relatives eh.
