I also found the will of William Burge, written Mar. 3, 1959; recorded in Spring, 1865, Surry Co., NC, WB 5, Page 74. He left Alexander Mitchell $200; Millard Mitchell, $200; & William H. Mitchell the rest of his property "for caring for me a comfortable maintenance for life." Executors were Drury Hodges & Nicholas (looks like Tuman; I couldn't read the last name). In the 1850 Surry Co., NC, census, there was a William Burge listed as age 53 (BA 1797, NC); along with Nancy Burge, 57 (BA 1793, VA); Sarah (I. or J.) Burge, 18 (BA 1832, NC); & William Slate Burge, age 11 (BA 1839, NC). Sounds like the same William Burge as above. Any help with the Burges or Mitchells will be appreciated.

My grgrandfather ,born 1829 in Battle,Sussex,England came to U.S. about 1846 There are many Mitchell families in Sussex. Ninfield is near Battle Eleanor Dillon

Fran, How did you find your Mitchell's in Sussex, England? I know my Jacob (Job) Mitchell (bn. abt 1794) and wife Rhoda (bn. abt 1795) and their daughter Ann (bn October 25, 1822 were all born in Sussex, England but I don't know how to verify this. Do you know someone that does research there? I think they came to the states when Ann was 12 which would have made it about 1834. Any leads on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Gloria-- These Elijah Mitchells must be very illusive. I have very little on mine, also. Anyway, I am sending the names of James' children. Let me know if you find any connection. This is from the 1860 Franklin Co, AR census. James Mitchell 35 Blacksmith b. TN Nancy 29 TN Martha 11 TN John 9 AR Wm. F. 6 AR Elijah 3 AR Mary 9 months AR His brother, my Elijah, from same census: listed here as Elisha 33 Farmer TN Mary J. 29 (Dickerson) TN Nancy 6 AR James 5 AR Mary 2 AR (unborn at time of this census: John) As you say, these could be family names, or they could have just been popular names at that time. Have you ever heard the name Dickerson? There are lots of Dickersons in this census, also from TN. I would guess they probably came to AR together. Good luck to us both! Barbra

cmitchocbu@aol.com is now goderrygo@aol.com Thank You! Sandi Mitchell

There were several Elijah Mitchells in Tennessee in 1800s. We have one in our family also. I don't have any information on him though. One of the branches we still need to explore. Conni Mitchell Braun

What dates do you have for your Mitchells?

Barbra, Thanks for the information. I'm afraid I know almost nothing about Elijah Mitchell. I know that he had several children and named them Nancy, James, Idona Leora, Mattie Gennetta and Thomas. His tombstone says he was born in 1846 which would make him too old to be the Eligha son of James. But the stone can be wrong. I have found so many ages off 10 years or so. guess not many people really knew how old they were. Eligha was supposedly born in Conway County, AR but I'm not sure about that either. Have not found any proof of that. Do you have the children of James? Maybe the names are family names? Gloria

Yeah that is quite a gap with only 3 daughters to be born during that time. I'll see if I can find anything for you. Doris

Hi, I was wondering if any of you have any information about Edmond Mitchell who died around 1838 in Bartholomew County, IN. He was married to Malinda Ferguson in 1831 and they had 2 children, Matthew, b. 1832 and Sarah M. Mitchell b. 1836. Any help would be appreciated. I have been looking but can't find any information. Thanks, Colleen

Oh, the article I have states that Moses is the brother of John Mitchell, both Moses and John as sons of Gavin Mitchell. Is that incorrect? So... are you saying that Moses had 2 sons named James? James Stuart Mitchell and James H. Mitchell? Maybe I am getting confused . Let me know I will try to help. Doris

John has a brother Moses b. c1750. Moses b. c1750 had a son named Moses b. 1790 and a son named James Stewart b.1793. We think that James H. may be the grandson of Moses b. c1750 and the son of either William b. 1777, Moses b. 1790, James Stewart b. 1793 or Israel b. 1796. We've ruled out James Stewart because of the in-depth data we have on him, and have also ruled out Israel because of his age [he would have been only 14-15 years old at the time of James H. c.1810/1811 birth. That leaves William b. 1777 or Moses b. 1790. Also, there could be children of Moses and Mary that are unaccounted for. There is a wide gap between William's birth in 1777 and Moses birth in 1790. There were 3 known daughters born in that gap, but with history showing how prolific people were back then, about one child every 10-16-months, there may be unaccounted sons of Moses b. c1750 that we need to find. .....????? ...........................................

We various records on their sons, William, Moses, James and Israel, but just can't seem to make the connection to James H. Mitchell. There are several Williams in my line. James H. Mitchell's son, George T., had a son named William, who had a son named William, who became my father. Following traditional conventions, William could be the father of James H., but we can make no connection via that method. R/Steven ...........................................

Elizabeth is the sister of 1st wife Mary Grant. To them was born Edmond Mitchell, Esq. He was a high sherrif of North Iredell and a tax collector. He married Sarah Mayberry.

Gloria-- I have an Elijah Mitchell born in TN ca. 1831. He came to AR ca. 1850, married Mary Jane Dickerson there in 1852 and lived there the rest of his life. He did not have a son Elijah, but his brother James and he seemed to name their children after each other's families. James had a son Elijah, listed in the 1860 census as being 3 years old. James' wife's name was Nancy. Do you know any of your Eligha's siblings? James and Nancy had several children. I know some of Elijah's descendants went to OK. Barbra

Hi Steve, I think I may have figured this out. I believe that the Elizabeth Boone mentioned married to Moses Mitchell is Elizabeth Boone Grant who was 1st married to William Grant. William Grant died abt. 1804, and I believe that sometime after that Moses married Elizabeth Boone Grant, who would be the sister-in-law of Mary Grant 1st wife to Moses, and not sister of Mary Grant. So that indeed would prove a marriage of Moses Mitchell to the sister of Daniel Boone, Elizabeth. Let me know what you think. :) Doris Mitchell

Steven, I have some articles, I will look for them. I can't remember exactly, but I think Nancy Boone was a wife to Moses. I will let you know, and I am sorry if that is not correct, my memory is not what it used to be. I'll get back with you. Doris

Doris, Sprakel's book, as well as other Boone books, do not indicated Nancy as a wife of Moses, only Elizabeth's daughter, Mary Grant. Do you have anything that says otherwise? Thank you.
