    1. [MITCHELL] Mitchell Family of Clinton County, Ohio
    2. M. Kathleen Felsted
    3. Hello, We have two women, who we believe to be sisters, who were raised in Clinton County, Ohio. 1. Lillis Mitchell, born 10 Sep 1823, married in Clinton County, to Daniel Nolan Fulk (of Highland County, Ohio) and moved to Scotland County, Missouri about 1845, where they both died. (BTW, Lillis named a daughter Thirza.) Transcribed marriage records erroneously give her name as Lillie. 2. Thirza Mitchell, born 4 Jul 1821, married in Clinton County, to Calvin Seldon Webber (of Clinton County, Ohio) moved to Scotland County, Missouri about 1848. Thirza was his second wife. When Calvin died in 1851 in Scotland County, Missouri, Thirza came back to Clinton County, Ohio for about 3 years but returned to Scotland County. (Obituary notice) Because both were married before the 1850 census, we have not been able to discern who their parents are. Thirza and Calvin Webber lived next door to John Mitchell in Washington Township in the 1840 census. That John I believe is John Mitchell who married Mary Sanderson. Their marriage date, and the number of known children and birthdates, implies that this is not the correct parent to Thirza and Lillis. In that same township, was a Ebenezer and Lillis Mitchell Seamon(s). (Also called Lillie in transcribed marriage records.) She could be a relative to our two sisters. We have not been able to find any information in probate, wills or court records about this family. There was a James H. Mitchell, present in the 1830 and 1840 census, who could have been a parent to these two girls. Is there anyone out there who knows who the parents of Thirza and Lillis? Or can eliminate them from other Mitchell families of Clinton County, Ohio? Thanks, Kathie
