Hello List, Correction reference STARLING MITCHELL in my message - Should have read, Greenville Co SC - not GREEN CO, SC - I plan to check my files for further information to confirm a descendant's interest in this branch of Mitchell - As far as I know, I don't descend from this line, but have no proof that my Hinchey Mitchell, born 1775 VA did not connect thru a common ancestor - If any of you descend from Hinchey Mitchell born 1772 VA and who migrated to Tuscaloosa AL where he died 1820 - and you know for certian that he was indeed the son of Edward Mitchell, then please confirm - This "Hinchey" Mitchell is not my ancestor - But, he does have the unusual christian name of "Hinchey" - To my knowledge, there were no other's (Mitchell) with the name for those birthdates. I have seen several in the SC area (Charleston) named HINCKLEY, but not HINCHEY. Thanks - MaryJean Childress Voegtlin
