I have been out of the family tree business for a couple of years and I will have to dig my notes out. I am the grandson of Lonnie Jackson Mitchell. His father was Isaiah. It is interesting that you mention a son named Tobe. I don't have any record of a son named Tobe, however, it is passed down that Isaiah was nicknamed Tobe. Isaiah's father (I believe)was Alex. Relatives from the Brewer side tell me that he was injured in the war, returned home and died in 68 from complications. Story has it that a Brewer kid lived on the farm as a hired hand and later married Isaiah's mom with whom he father a few children. Does any of this match up with your info? I would really like to know more. Feel free to contact me anytime. Greg Mitchell
