Ok, here's my logic for changing the governor that resigns in
1871 (which led to Powers taking office) from
Adelbert Ames to
James L. Alcorn. You can see that Ames' page has him in the
Senate from
1870 to
1874. Alcorn's page says that HE resigned in 1871 to become a Senator. Also, the
List of Governors of Mississippi shows Alcorn, nor Ames, prior to Powers. Now, this isn't remotely close to my field of study, so unless someone says otherwise, I say that Alcorn resigned. --

Governor resignation, replied
You are correct the Governor that resigned in 1871 was Alcorn. --
