I have some information about a John Mitchell, brother of my ancestor Archibald, which says that he was born about 1781 and moved from NC to TN. The information I have also list him as a gunsmith. I am wondering if he could be the same John Mitchell. Archibald was the son of Nicholas Mitchell. Archibald moved from Wilkes Co. to Warren co., KY. I have been unable to trace Nicholas beyond Wiles Co. He and several other Mitchells were members of the Dutchman's Creek Baptist Church in the 1770s but I have been unable to determine how they are related. My latest theory is that the Mitchells form Wilkes Co. are related to Moses Mitchell who came to Wilkes Co. from Chester Co., PA. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
