The 1880 census shows a Della Powell living in Friendship, Crockett County, Tennessee, close to the Arkansas border. Born in 1840, at the time of the census she was working on a farm. She was unmarried, but she had at least 6 children, including Lillie, born in 1876. Della was born in Tennessee, as were her parents before her.
