Hello Janine Edward Bascom Mitchell's parents were Andrew H. and Minerva Ann Nichols Mitchell. We think Minerva's gfather was Edward B. Nichols. No record of his middle name, but maybe that is who Edward Bascom was named after????? Andrew's parents were Daniel and Elizabeth McCann Mitchell. Daniel's parents were Joel and Mary (?) Mitchell. Minerva's sister Hester Garrison, named one of her sons Bascom. Edward and Andrew lived with their families possibly in Randolph, Independence and Lonoke counties of AR. I have records of their living in Cleburne and White Co AR. It's amazing how much they moved around.

Hi Ruth, It is amazing, isn't it? My relatives moved around a lot too... :-) One of the reasons that I asked is because I found an entry in a cemetery in Nevada Co. Ar. that mentions a Bascom Mitchell. I was told that it wasn't my Bascom. Maybe the Bascom mentioned is yours? Here's the web site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~arnevada/ephesus.txt If we're related, I don't see the connection...yet... :-) Good luck in your research, Janine
