Preston Mitchell is my gggrandfather. He apparently came to Texas (Robertson County) from Tennessee around 1845. He married Elizabeth C. and they had one son John E 1860-1887. Elizabeth married Ben Wheelis in 1865. It is said that Preston was killed in the Civil War but I have not been able to vertify. Preston's son John E. went back to Tennessee and married Cora (Callie) Davis in Haywood County in 1877. Since he was only 17, I thought he may have relatives in that part of TN. He moved back to Texas in 1884, and was murdered in 1887. Preston's ggranddaughter said that he had a visit from a relative once and she thought he was from Nashville area. Elizabeth C. may have been married to an Allen Smith at some point, either they had a child A.Smith Jr. or he was a Junior. As you can see, I have very little concrete information on the Mitchells. Preston was killed ? and his wife remarried. John E. was killed at a young age and his wife remarried. So most of the Mitchell information was los. I saw some postings in the archives that listed a Preston as the son of Greenville. Does anyone know anything about this or any Preston that may be my ancestor. Thank you most sincerely.
