Dear Betty-- This is so great!! :) I am descended from the Hosea Mitchell's sister, Elizabeth Angeline Mitchell. She married James Henry Hayes (hence my first name!) and was the mother of my great-grandfather, Lee Forrest Hayes. My brother's middle name is Mitchell. My mother has done very well in making sure the family names live on! I have a number of Colleys in my database. I have the family of Hosea Mitchell and Martha Ann Colley, as well as her parents, and brothers and sisters. Her father, WIlliam Colley, was married 3 times, and had children with all the wives. I do have a a Susan Jane COlley married to John D. Irvin, but no marriage date. I couldn't find a Lydia Colley, sister to Martha Ann, in the 3 marriages. I also have William Colley's father's name and his siblings. It appears the Colleys intermarried with the Killebrews at a great rate. William Colley was married to 2 of them himself. I came across a Mitchell family history written by one of the Mitchell grandchildren in 1941. It contains several letters written from one of the Mitchell brothers in Caldwell County to a younger Mitchell brother in Missouri. The letters mention Hosea and his wife "Ann" and also the death of their first child due to pneumonia. If you are interested in this, please let me know. I was wondering about the William T. P'Pool you mentioned. Would you have his parents' names? Thank you for all your help! I hope to hear from you soon.. Hayes
