Powel was a master builder has commonly been mistaken for the wealthy and socially prominent Mayor of Philadelphia, Samuel Powel (1738-1793), grandson of Samuel Powell (q.v.) The date of Powel's election to the Carpenters' Company is unknown; he is first mentioned as present at a meeting on October 23, 1769, and was appointed to committees or elected to offices within the Company in the 1770s. These early references fit the possibility of a birthright membership for the grandson of a Company founder, and it should be kept in mind that Philadelphia Mayor Samuel Rhoads (q.v.) and Speaker Joseph Fox (q.v.) both were members of the Company. However, Louise Hall ("Artificer to Architect in America") discovered that in 1786 Powel was in arrears on his dues, and his son William received for him in 1791 repayment of his contribution toward building Carpenters' Hall. In 1808 Powel was in Handcock Town, MD, when he signed a note to borrow $40.00 from the Company. According to Company records, Powel died in 1815. None of these post-Revolution references fit the facts of Mayor Powel's life. Unless later research proves that there were two Samuel Powels who were members of the Carpenters' Company in the late 18th century, it must be assumed that previous histories of the Company, including those by this author, are incorrect.

Powell's marriage in 1700/01 to he prosperous orphan Abigail Wilcox was witnessed by William Penn, Edward Shippen, Samuel Carpenter, and David Loyd (among others) and he inherited substantially from the Parsons -- hardly a rags to riches story. Powell became a Regulator of Party Walls and Partition Fences in 1712, and "being a Man remarkable for his Care in promoting Regularity in the Buildings," was soon elected to the Common Council (1717 and 1729). A founder or early member of The Carpenters' Company, he was known -- according to a long-time resident of the city -- as the "rich carpenter." Indeed, Powell made speculative building a big business, moved into foreign trade, and accumulated a vast estate for the time, consisting of over ninety properties in and around Philadelphia. The only building that can be firmly attributed to him is the Philadelphia courthouse of 1710, although he was responsible for the Dock Street bridge of 1718, a bridge over Cobb's Creek c. 1732, and another bridge over Dock Street in 1735-37. Powell's son of the same name followed the trade of carpentry and was also elected to the Common Council and later became an Alderman; he predeceased his father, however, and the accumulated wealth of Samuel Powell, the elder, passed to Samuel Powel, III. Of him, one historian of Philadelphia has written, "the benefits of inherited wealth, superior education and ample leisure, the experiences of extended travel and the effects of changing tastes produced a rounded, urban and cultivated person."

Title A name given to the resource Powell, Samuel Description An account of the resource Samuel Powell came to Philadelphia as a child in 1685 and was probably apprenticed to his uncle John Parsons, carpenter from Somersetshire. Powell's marriage in 1700/1 to the prosperous orphan Abigail Wilcox was witnessed by William Penn, Edward Shippen, Samuel Carpenter, and David Lloyd (among others) and he inherited substantially from the Parsons--hardly a rags to riches story. Powell became a Regulator of Party Walls and Partition Fences in 1712 and, "being a Man remarkable for his Care in promoting Regularity in the Buildings" (quoted by Bridenbaugh in Rebels and Gentlemen), was soon elected to the Common Council (1717 and 1729). A founder or early member of The Carpenters' Company, he was known--according to a long-time resident of the city--as the "rich carpenter." (This observation appears to originate in Watson's Annals, v.1, p. 9.) Indeed, Powell made speculative building a big business, moved into foreign trade, and accumulated a vast estate for the time consisting of over ninety properties (according to Joseph Jackson) in and around Philadelphia. The only building that can be firmly attributed to him is the Philadelphia Court House of 1710, although he was responsible for the Dock Street bridge of 1718, a bridge over Cobb's Creek c.1732, and another bridge over Dock Street in 1735-37. Powell's son of the same name followed the trade of carpentry and was also elected to the Common Council and later became an Alderman; he pre-deceased his father, however, and the accumulated wealth of Samuel Powell the elder passed to Samuel Powel, III. Of him one historian of Philadelphia has written, "the benefits of inherited wealth, superior education and ample leisure, the experiences of extended travel and the effects of changing tastes produced a rounded, urban and cultivated person." Unfortunately, Samuel Powel, III, gentleman (1738-1793), has been confused with another Samuel Powel (see above, d.1815).
