Reference - Nathaniel, Sterling, Henry - Josiah and other Mitchells - These names are repeated Mitchell names all from the old 96th district of South Carolina. Seems they stem from a Edward Mitchell of the same place. Check also the census for 1790-1800 SC - Henry ofcourse is a common Mitchell name, many by that name settled in GA - Of further interest, there were Mitchell's by these Christian names in Henry County and Dekalb Co GA before 1850. The records I've seen with regard to Sterling or Starling Mitchell, he migrated to GA, that is if it's the same man. All of these seem to be the sons of an Edward Mitchell. A Josiah Mitchell was in Henry Co GA when it was formed in 1821, buying and selling land according to the original books of Henry Co GA. Who he connects to could be a big find, he shows to have been married to a Mary Ann as she was also in the land deed records for Henry Co GA. A Henry Mitchell born about 1778 VA was living in Fayette Co GA (Inman) and also a Henry Mitchell was shown in Dekalb Co GA. Dekalb was part of Henry Co originally, which was ALL of Atlanta GA - Many other counties were taken from Henry Co GA (formed 1821) - At this point, it is my belief that my Hinchey Mitchell (born 1775 VA died 1863c Clayton Co, originally Henry Co GA) was connected to the Josiah and perhaps even both adult Henry Mitchells of whom I have records. Hinchey named his son Henry. There were also those in Clark Co GA in the 1809 Tax Records with my Hinchey named Henry, Thomas, Jonathan and others of whom possibly could be from the same line as the Edward who had Starling, sometimes called Sterling.
