MaryJean, I have more information on his wife than on Thomas Mitchell. Thomas was born in 1793 in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. He married Ruth Tillery on Sep 18, 1814 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. She was born Mar 23, 1787 in either Surry County or Rockingham County, North Carolina and died Aug 12, 1874 also in Walton County, Georgia. Together they had eight children: Ann T. b. feb 2, 1816 John Henry b. Nov 2, 1817 Wilson Lumpkin b. Feb 1820 Jett Thomas b. Apr 22, 1822 Susannah Matilda* b. Mar 28, 1825 Joshua Marion b. Oct 13,1826 Francis William b. Apr 3, 1829 Sarah Eliza b. May 27, 1831 All children are believed to be born in Walton County. I'll like to have more information on Thomas if anyone has it. There is more about his children. I have the names of some spouses and their children. I hope some of this helps somebody. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MJVChildress@aol.com> To: <MITCHELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2003 4:17 PM Subject: Re: [MITCHELL] John Henry Mitchell where are you? > > > Kerstin - > > Reference - John Henry Mitchell - Also, Thomas H.
