Silas Gaskill Papers - Lapeer - Post Two

Another entry in the papers of Silas Gaskill, a lawyer in Lapeer in the 1860's, concerned a divorce:

8 February 1864
Mrs. Margaret Powers
Retained V. Philander C. Powers
Circuit Court (?) Chancery? Divorce? [illegible notes]

Since I research Powers in Lapeer, this entry in Mr. Gaskill's book initially piqued my interest. I have not linked Philander and Margaret to my Powers family, though.

Other records I've collected pertaining to Philander & Margaret (Lamaroux) Powers [see my Lapeer Co., MI, database here]:
