Mary Powers is in the 1880 census in Royalston. Her birthplace looks like Ireland, but is hard to read. Upon Googling on Patrick Powers + Royalston, the following death record appears, seemine to confirm that Ireland was the place: Date of death: May 19,1901, deceased: John M. Powers, 46 Northampton, Ms. M Birthplaces of parents: Ireland Ireland Parents of deceased: Patrick Powers Mary Barr. In the 1880 Census, 4 of our Bessie Powers siblings were living at home and working at the local Woolen Mill. They ranged in age from 16 to 22. If John M was a member of this family, it may be consistent for him to no longer to be at home at his age of 26. See http://www.ci.keene.nh.us/library/vitalstatistics/d1900_03.htm, and search for Patrick Powers.
