This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mitchell, Coleman, Miller Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RS.2ADI/273.2.1 Message Board Post: I have new information on this Mitchell family. Kathryn and Thomas Albert (Mitchell) were indeed Cherokee children adopted by JC and Mattie Mitchell. JC Mitchell was pastor of the New Prospect Baptist Church in Holmes County FL in 1880s and of the First Baptist Church in Florala. He was known in the family to be a Baptist circuit rider which meant he preached at various rural churches where permanent preachers were not assigned. Not only was Jefferson Mitchell postmaster at Rose Hill, but his daughter Kathryn Mitchell Coleman McDade was post mistress in Holmes County, FL later in her life. Any new information anyone can add would be great!! Sherrie Johnson
