There is a well known Walter Powers in New England appearing in 1654 and it could very well be that the Walter Power on George S. Stewart’s list was regarding him. See:
“Walter Powers is a key figure in the New England branch of the North American Powers family, as many can trace their lineage back to him. He was 14 when he left the Old World in 1654. Walter first appears in New England records as a witness in a trial in Middlesex County in 1654. He was a boy of fourteen at that time.” ~ at Geni.com.
