Ralph Powell was born in about 1620 of Severn Stoke. There are few references of the Powells in the Severn Stoke parish register between 1600 and 1640. George Powle, the son of William Powle, was christened in 1634 in Severn Stoke. No other Powell christenings are recorded in Severn Stoke in that time period. Since Ralph's firstborn son was named William, perhaps William was his father.

Ralph married Marie Williams in 15 October 1641 in Severn Stoke.
