George Gabriel Powell
George Gabriel Powell (c. 1710-1779) was an acting Governor of St Helena, who left the island in 1748, relocating to South Carolina, where he became a Colonel in the state’s Militia and the first Speaker of its Provincial Congress (1775-1776).
== The Powell family ==
George Powell was born into a family, which had a particularly bad press in St Helena. His grandfather, Gabriel Powell senior, participated in the failed 1684 rebellion and led the fight for the rights of the rebels in its aftermath. He had been condemned to death, but managed to escape from his prison cell and secured a passage to Europe in 1688.〔T.H. Brooke, ''History of the Island of St. Helena'', London, 1824, pp. 125-129; H.R. Janisch, ''Extracts From the St. Helena Records'', London, 1885, pp. 41-43.〕 George Powell’s father, Gabriel Powell junior, became the richest plantation owner on St Helena and was criticized for his avarice and the cruel treatment of his slaves.〔H.R. Janisch, ''Extracts From the St. Helena Records'', London, 1885, pp. 116, 122, 128, 148, 153, 159, 174, 186-187.〕 George Powell appears to have taken after his two forebears in many respects.
