MoneyFish@aol.com, Your E-mail interest me, I'm also trying to track back my Mitchell's from Indiana. Looking at the 1880 census for Randolph County, Greens Fork Township, I noticed that Warren Mitchel, only had one 'L' in his name? My great grandfather, James D. Mitchell, was born 1850 some where in Indiana, supported by his D/C and 1880, 1900 & 1920 census. He was a blacksmith; Married Mary A. Coleman, 25 December 1879 in Elkhart County, then lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan in the 1880 census. He should be in the Indiana 1850, 60, or 70 census as a son, but I haven't found him so far, got a lot of census to look at yet.

I have a will dated 1833 for George Mitchell Jr., Wayne County NC, in it it list 7 young children: Henry, Lovet, Stephen, Curtis, Needham, Warren, Gilbert. The children are left orphaned, and the will states the adm. is to find homes for the children. I am following a lead that maybe Warren and Lovet somehow found there way to Indiana. Is anyone looking for one of these Mitchell's? >>
