Mary, I found Austin Mitchell in Pemiscot Co, Missouri with wife Ara L or Ara L and children Demphsey, Asel, Hazel, and Rosie. All born Mississippi. This has got to be part of your family, right. I have been looking at 1900 Mississippi and have not found William yet. Do you know his wifes name/maiden name? I will keep looking. I am looking for a Mississippi born Mitchell, father of Dan b. 1846. Do not know any siblings or where in Miss, but I am not giving up. Belinda
