Gayla....I think I found your gggrandmother Eliza/Elizabeth Mitchell's grave. She lived next door to the Manes and Slays in 1880 Census and there are only 15 marked graves in this OLD abandoned cemetery on the south side of the Buffalo River actually now in the Buffalo River Park owned by the Corp of Engineers who bought up all the land along this beautiful river. Slay Cemetery about four miles from Snowball (that's as the crow flys, not by highway..Faye) Slay Cemetery Eliza E. Mitchell Born May 10, 1822 Died October 23, 1899 Others buried with her Martha Slay b Mar. 20, 1819 D Aug 18, 1884 Martha Slay lived right next door to Eliza Mitchell in 1880 Calf Creek Twp. in Dwelling 5/family 6 , she was age 59 while your Eliza Mitchel was age 56, Possibly related?? sister's? sister-in-law?? Mary Jane Moore wife of E.M. Moore B. July 3, 1828 D Nov 17, 1880 Mary J. More nad husband Elija M. More lived five dwellings from the Mitchels in 1880 Calf Creek They were also out of SC like Eliza...also the Lawrence familys in the neighborhood may have been tied to your Mitchell's as they were out of Ga nd SC the same time-frames as your Mitchells and all lived near neighbors. and two Robertsons, Delpha Manes, two Whites, Ida Jones (remember marriage to Jones?)

He was born about 1860 in Camlin (according to family, although I can't seem to find Camlin anywhere) and was married to SARAH MORRISON (b.1863 in Searcy Co.). > > I believe he had two brothers and two sisters. One brother was WOODARD. The other went by MULLIS, although I'm not sure if that's his given name. I know Mullis was married to Sarah Morrison's sister, NANCY CAROLINE, and I have found his name listed as ELIJAH COMMULIS Mitchell. His sisters were ANN and JANE, I believe. I found a Woodard Little Mitchell who married Lugena Elizabeth Brown (in 1878, Snowball, Searcy Co.). If he is the right Woodard, he was born in Walton, GA in 1855, parents ABNER and ELIZABETH). > > Eligah and Sarah's daughter (my grandmother) NOMA FRANCES (b.1888 near Snowball), m. CHESTER A. ARTHUR HENDRIX. Eligah and Sarah lived apart for many years, Eligah on his mountain near Richland and Sarah in Oklahoma with daughter Lorena. Noma and Chester's kids are Ora, Ona, Versie, Bervin, Irene, Loretta (my mother) and Velma. > > Any help with this Mitchell line would be greatly appreciated, as my information is not very concrete, and I seem to be stuck. > > Thanks, > Gayla Pogue DeHart >
