About Hampden Mitchell says: "Hampden (s. of Simeon 48) m. Sarah, D. of Joseph Bassett Esq. 1799, and had Hannah 1801, James 1803, and went to Winslow, Me." That entry can be viewed in context on my USGenWeb site for Bridgewater: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mabridge/mitchell/223.html#hampden74 The Keith books that I am aware of do not treat this branch in any depth (that of James Jr.'s descendants). A search at BookFinder.com does not reveal any titles on the Keith family of which I was not previously aware. Dale H.
