Does anyone know anything of a Robert MITCHELL born Colyton, Devon England in 1658 the son of William Mitchell. In an undated Quitclaim but known to be about 1687 he is described as a mariner of Boston, New England. Given the relatively early date, I hope some USA based Mitchell researcher may have come across him. regards Graham Jones On-line Parish Clerk for the Parishes of Loxbeare, Stoodleigh and Washfield researching MITCHELL East Devon PESTER Mid Devon (Tiverton area) WA(L)TERS Pinhoe ARTER Washfield/Loxbeare WOOD Rackingford HERD Brampford Speke RADFORD Thorverton --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
