These are a little iffy but it is hard with no dates to go by, when there are so many Mitchells First I would like to give you the 1870 Census readings: 1860 DeWitt County Jno. P.

Mitchell d1-4-1917 83y3m14d (bet this is G. not E) We are not finished transcribing the 1860 census but I am looking for George Gideon on that one. I will send more later as hteer are a lot of Mitchell's and Gideons but I wanted you to see this alone. I could not find a marriage for James H. but that does not mean it isn't there I just do not have it.

Mitchell, and his wives, Mary J. Hamilton Mitchell and Gabriella (Jennie) Passwaters Mitchell. Mary J Mitchell died in 1883. Their children were Clara Mitchell, Chester Field Mitchell, a set of twins, who died within a month of birth, and James Richard Mitchell, who is buried in Chicago. Thank you very much for any help that you might be able to give me. Pam Mitchell [email protected]
