Since I have both Mitchell & Kern/s connections in southern Indiana thought I would add mine in also - In my SINEX genealogy I have a Mary Ann SINEX b. ca 1838 who married Thomas D. Mitchell in Floyd County, February 11, 1856 and they had 4 known (to me) children: George M., Laura J., Mary L., Louis C. I also have a SINEX & KERN/S connection in Floyd County & Washington County and a 3rd great aunt Jane WAUGHTELL married into a KERNS line through SUMMA connection in Washington County.

Did Thomas Mitchell (Mary Catherine's brother) marry Sally CLICK (b: abt. 1835) in 1853, Washington Co, IN?

My great grandmother was Mary Catherine Mitchell, b 1835. She married Daniel Kern, 1840-1870. Their only son, Edward Lester Kern was my grandfather. Mary Catherine (Kate) had numerous siblings: Thomas, Daniel, Ellen, Stephen, Robert Herrod, Sarah, Minerva, Melissa. Their parents were Robert Mitchell and Elizabeth Hole. Robert's parents were Thomas Mitchell and Elizabeth Harmon Thomas Mitchell's parents were Robert Mitchell, 1740-1825 and Elizabeth Capbell. Most of these people lived and died in and around Salem, Washington County, IN. Although Daniel Kern and Kate Mitchell only had one son, Daniel had many siblings: Obadiah, Edward F. Mary, George W., Jacob, Susan, Jane. The parents of these children were Daniel Kern, Jr. and Elizabeth (Litha) Thomas. Daniel and Elizabeth are buried in the Salem area. I'm wondering if any cousins are still living in the area and if anyone wants to tell me more about the Mitchells or the Kerns and other family members. Hoping to hear more. Linda

I have just completed a recent update to my website adding 2,129 relatives which include 1,124 direct descendants of Richard Wright, Sr. The reason it took so long is that i had some database problems. Looks like i fixed them all, but I would SURE appreciate it if you would look at your areas of interest. The problem is not with the data, but with relationships, husband, wife and children. I completed going thru all the census from 1850 to1930 for John Wright/Nancy Gilstrap & William Wright/ Martha Morgan descendants, where applicable. I did Richard Wright, Jr. last time. I also added David York/Rebecca Gilstrap, John Sears/Catherine Conrad, Mary Sears/Michael Sappenfield (Satterfield), Joseph Shull/Sarah Wright, descendants. I have updated the 4 generation document. I will be attending the Midwestern Roots conference in Indianapolis Aug 19 and 20. If you would like to meet and discuss anything, let me know.
