G'day Clive My mother was a Mitchell born in Bethnal Green - close to Islington. If you can send me off line if you like, any details that you have of your Mitchells I would be glad to help. Also if you have certificates this would confirm (to a point) the accuracy of the information. Happy to help Jean na Thorp nee Middleton. ---------- >From: "bridgehouse" <bridgehouse@onetel.net.uk> >To: MITCHELL-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: RE: [MITCHELL] English Mitchells >Date: Tue, Feb 25, 2003, 11:44 PM > > As it seems to be English day mine are in the London area. > Does anyone link to: > Walter Thomas Mitchell b 27 July 1865.

I am looking for family and parents of Hannah & Thomas Mitchell. They had at least one son, Joab, born 1721 & christened Bristol Parish, VA. Is the Peter there the brother of Thomas? Was there more than one Thomas? Any help greatly appreciated. Marlene

Thought I might post some new info on my Mitchells. This is how my line pans out, but I got the info from the LDS site, so if anyone has document sources for any of these, I would sure appreciate it. Also, I'd like to hear from anyone who shares any of these. These are listed in reverse chronologocal order. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. married Elizabeth Tripp 1833. JOHN MITCHELL, SR. married Katherine Gould 1806. RICHARD MITCHELL married Joanna Lawton 1776. JAMES MITCHELL married Anne (or Anna) Folger 1738. RICHARD MITCHELL,JR. married Elizabeth Tripp (possibly late 1600's) RICHARD MITCHELL,SR. married Mary Wood (date unknown) I do have some birth & death dates and more specific marriage dates on some if anyone is interested. All of these MITCHELLS resided in RI (Portsmouth mostly). I'm thinking that possibly Richard, Sr. was born in England, based on the date. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nita, The info I'm using is a combination of my mother's and grandmother's notes. My grandmother states Celia was born in 1859 in Illinois, while my mother saw a copy of Grace Norton's birth certificate that said Celia was born in 1867. My grandmother's notes say Celia was married to Lemuel Norton while on Grace's birth certificate her father is named as Samuel Norton of Wisconsin. I don't think there was a whole lot of communication between my grandmother and her grandmother, if any. The information on Celia's sister, Minerva is correct though, as her and Howard's grandson verified in a letter to my mother. For all I know, given the lack of accurate recordkeeping during those days, my Celia may very well be the same as your 'missing" Celia. This is one of two very difficult lines I'm trying to track, mainly due to the lack of generational pass-downs of family tales. Maybe we can tie the two together and make a complete family, but I doubt it. If Celia was born in 1848, she would have been 26 when her sister was born and 36 when Grace was born. Not impossible, to be sure, but very unlikely to have that many years seperate siblings. Rick

With all the activity on the list, thought it was a good time to list my information. My gr grandmother was Jane Mitchell born 1842-44, probably in South Carolina (according to census information). My grandfather, Robert Taylor Mitchell, was born in Peoria, Amite County, Mississippi. I found him on the 1880 census in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. His mother, Jane Mitchell, was listed as age 36 (census enumerated 6/4/1880) and listed as a widow. By 1889 they had moved to Arkansas where she was married to John W. Brooks in Nevada County, Arkansas on March 11, 1889, her age was listed as 47 on the marriage license application. Some other information seems to indicate she might not have been a widow but that my grandfather's birth might have been illegitimate, so this may possibly indicate her maiden name was Mitchell. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Sue Steward

Geri, What is your Mitchell line? Cheryl Mitchell Rucka crucka@aol.com

Rick My ggggrandmother was Celia Mitchell of Virginia married Banister Mitchell. Celia was d/o Drury Mitchell and Amy Stap/Step. There were many daughters named Celia down thru the line. We lost? a Celia somewhere who was born C 1848 She was daughter of Banister's Jr. brother Robert Mitchell Nita does any of these ring any bells? Banister Jr. had a grandson Charles J. Nita in NC

Since there seems to be so much activity here recently, I was hoping I'd get lucky. My ggg grandmother is Celia (Cecilia or Cele) Mitchell. She was born either 4 or 18 Jan 1859 or 1867 in Illinois and first married Samuel or Lemuel Norton (b. Wisconsin). They had a daughter named Grace May Norton b. 28 Jan 1884 in Shenadoah, Page Co., Iowa. Celia's second husband was J. R. Sry. Celia also had a sister named Minerva Lavinia Mitchell that was born in 1874 in Mitchell, Davison Co., South Dakota. Minerva married Howard Clover. Supposedly their father was named Charles Mitchell. Any help would be appreciated. Rick

This could be considered an English Mitchell so will pass it on. While searching my Mitchells in Mercer Co Kentucky I came across a ledger made by the Shaker Society that was in Mercer Co most of the 1800s. There was a notation in the ledger that a William S Mitchell that was born 5 April 1835 in Yorkshire England came to the village 22 Mar 1873. He apparently was traveling with a Thomas Burks as they left sometime in the spring of 1874. That was all they noted. The Shakers was a religious community that took in homeless and others that needed help.

Sam I might have deleated part of your messages because of the subject line being English Mitchells. Anyway that was my Mitchells in Mercer Co and I have tried to connect with the Robert in Washington Co and I believe it was James in Jackson Co. I wasnt able to make a connection but not to say I didnt overlook a good clue that might have proven different. Anything you might have that would help would sure be appreciated. Cheers Tom Mitchell

Hi Doris, I have info.on Moses and Andrew Mitchell. They were the sons of John Mitchell and Cynthia Lillias (Morton) Mitchell. They were brothers of my gggg grandmother Sarah Mitchell who married Christopher Houston. I have a copy of "Autobiography and Reminiscences of Israel Mitchell" Copied by H.M. Painter (Feb. 1947) Israel Mitchell was the son of Moses Mitchell. Let me hear from you if you need more info on this family. James L. Houston

I have been searching for a Bascom Mitchell for some years. This one fathered a daughter born in 1909 and was at the time living in or around Preston County, West Virginia. Bascom was probably his middle name therefore is recorded in censuses, etc, as Thomas, William or Robert B. Mitchell or some such. Any help appreciated. Gail Mynatt Zeigler

Hi Everyone, I think that it is great to see some Mitchell Family List activity the last few days. Keep it up & maybe someone will connect, this is so good to see. Billy G. Mitchell

I am Looking for information (a will, census records, probate records, ect.) that will help document the ancestors, siblings, or descendants of my ggg-grandparents Thomas B. Mitchell and Eliza Louisa unknown. Thomas B. Mitchell was born in SC in 1815. I assume he married Eliza Louisa unknown in South Carolina sometime ca.1842, + or - a year or two. He was listed on the 1850 census in Murray co. GA as Thomas Mitchel. He is listed in the 1860 census in Whitfield co. GA as Thos B Mitchell. He is listed in the 1870 census in Whitfield co. GA as Thomas Mitchel. He died in Whitfield county Georgia in 1879. Eliza Louisa unknown was born in SC in 1823. It is possible that she was part Cherokee. She was listed in the previously mentioned census records. In 1880, she is listed in Whitfield co. GA as the head of household. I have not yet located her in the 1900 census. She died in 1904. The Children: 1 James L H ..................born ca.1844 in SC ~ died unknown 2 Marry Nancy Ann .........born Dec. 13, 1846 in GA ~ Jan. 17, 1879 married B.F.Holland in 1864, Children: B.F jr. 1866-, Thomas B. 1869, James (Jim) 1871-, Rufus 1873, Lucy Louizer 1876-1943 3 Thomas B. Mitchell Jr....born ca.1849 in TN ~ death unknown, married Cathy unknown, Worked for RR in 1880 Children: Cathy 1875-, Viola 1877-, and William 1879-, 4. W??? .........................born ca.1851 5. Sarah E.......................born ca.1856 6. Josephine ...................born ca.1858 7. George W. ..................born ca.1858 Notable Mistakes: The 1860 census lists Sarah and W?? as Twins, however it is obvious George and Josephine were the twins. Also, the 1870 census has Thomas written twice, one being the same age as George.. Keith Bailey Gordon Co GA
