I did find a record of a William Mitchell b. 1854 in MO. He was living in TX. in 1880 in the household of a Benjamin T. Duval. Apparently he was working for Mr. Duval as William is listed as a laborer. His marital status at that time was single. This record states that William's parents were both born in TN. This was in McClennan, TX. 1880. Doris

Oh yes, there are many lines of Mitchells everywhere! Many many Johns and Williams. :) Doris

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 think he was son of Thomas Mitchell and Maria Butler. He was born Islington in London then move to Greenwich, he married Maria Evans. Despite the US majority on this site I find the names of places fascinating because they all seem to derive form well know English towns and counties but their near neighbours in USA are often at other ends of the country in England. Also, there are many repetitions whereas we seem to have one main town by any name. I would guess there are some popular names that arise in every state in USA demonstrating that some homesick emigrant got to name his new home after his old. Is there a refernce book on how US towns and counties got their names and what this tells us? Clive Henderson Warwickshire.England

Doris i find it odd that my MITCHELL line was also in Mercer Co., Kentucky, they went from there to Jackson Co., and Washington Co., Indiana. Be happy to share any information with you.

Hi Sam, I don't have an address for the Mitchell Family Assoc. I found my information about the Innes/Mitchell clan from a Scottish Tartan/Clan Book. Also, at many of the Scottish festivals I have attended I have found other info linking the Innes and Mitchell clans. Doris

I am still searching for William M. Mitchell and wife Nettie Mathis/ Mathews . He supposedly was born in MO. in 1854, moved to TX with at least one brother, James R. Mitchell and then to Indian Territory where they reared their family. Thanks, Leona

Hi Tom, funny that you mention Mercer co., KY. There were a family of Mitchells there who were married into the BOONE (Daniel Boone), family. Do you know anything of a Moses Mitchell, or Andrew Mitchell in your line? Doris

I have tried to connect my William to every Mitchell in Kentucky at the time. No success. There were more than one line just in Mercer when he was there. ----- Original Message ----- From: MITCHDOR@aol.com To: MITCHELL-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 10:53 AM Subject: Re: [MITCHELL] William-for Tom Hi Tom, funny that you mention Mercer co., KY.

I've searched for years for "my" Alexander Mitchell with no luck. He fathered a child with Nancy ALBAUGH in Cambria Co, PA in about 1850. His son was Phillip Mitchell of W. Taylor Twp, Cambria Co, Pa who died in 1902 in a horrific house fire. Nancy was married by 1860 to a John SHEARMAN. This week I was in Charleston, SC, and visited Patriot's Point. One room is dedicated to Congressional Medal of Honor holders. One Civil War honoree was 1st Lt. Alexander H. Mitchell. Anyone know who he is? Family rumor says that Alexander died at Gettysburg. If this is him I might have more sources to check. Thanks, Sharon Edwards SEKE56@aol.com

There is an association of some of the Scottish Mitchells and the Innes Clan. Doris

My branch is firmly rooted in Northamptonshire, and I have been able to go back to one James Mitchell, who appears in the parish of Cranford St. John in around 1765 having married Sarah Smith in the neighbouring village of Sudborough. He was parish clerk for nearly 40 years until his death in 1803, so he could read and write, but was described as a servant in the 1772 militia list. As far as I can tell James was not born in any of the nearby parishes, so I have two possible theories: - He could be a son of the rector of Orlingbury who was in residence at about the correct time and only 8 miles away, but baptised in another area. or He was an itinerant herdsman, possibly from Scotland, who stopped off before/after delivering cattle to market in somewhere like Kettering or even London - long distance droving did occur around this time. My maternal Grandmother used to insist there was a connection to the McInnes clan, but of course that may only have been heresay. Out of interest, I do run a Mitchell_UK list on the Yahoo Groups service, but it is always incredibly quiet. All the best Dave Rossiter

Geri, I would be interested in the children, particularly Ann. My great-grandfather, Alex Kegg (possibly AJ or Joseph Alex Kegg) was reportedly married to Anna Mitchell. I think they both came from England.

My thanks to all of you who were good enough to reply to my question. I have made a note of those who have ancestors in England in case they should connect with mine at a later date....you never know! My Mitchells come from London.....which was Surrey at that time........My Great Grandfather was named...dare I say it?...William! Grandfather was Isaac Mitchell who married Lizzie Page....His Mother was Brenda Page..the plot thickens... I'm not aware of any ancestors coming over here, but I know I do have a cousin whom I have never met, whose maiden name I believe, was Yvonne Mitchell.She went to the New York area I think in the late forties early fifties If my information is correct... . If I can help anyone with their search in England just let me know. I find and discard so many Mitchells. Yvonne in Oregon
