Hi List, There's been discussion on the various branches of Mitchell in Georgia - I located some long ago (1985) group sheets and thought to share them with you. Comments welcome...and perhaps some of the data will help those looking for this branch of Mitchell - I would enjoy knowing more, due to a christian name which appears in my own branch of Mitchell (HINCHEY) - EDWARD MITCHELL died 1811 in Wilkerson Go GA - he married ELIZABETH who died 1819 -- This could be the Edward who shows in the very early census's for the 96th District of SC, Edgefield Co SC - Also questioned - Could this Edward be the son of Thomas Mitchell of VA and SC? - Issue as I know it - 1. STARLING MITCHELL - appeared on the 1790 - 1810 Edgefield Co SC Tax and Census records - unless there were two of them - Also in the tax list for Green Co SC, page 029, 1797 - 2. NANCY MITCHELL - married Abraham Brooks Lucus and died in MS 3. CHARLES MITCHELL - 4. HINCHEY MITCHELL- born 1772 VA, died in Tuscaloosa AL, Aug 18th, 1820 - Lived in Edgefield Co SC, perhaps married more than once, but known marriage was to - Rachel, who is on a deed with Hinchey, in SC- He left an 1820 WILL in Tuscaloosa, Book 1, page 13 - His legatees are named, some in the WILL and some in miscellaneous records at various times - Wife - Rachel, sons Zadock, Jabez, Edward T; daughters, Lucretia, Sophia and Sophronia?, Some children were minors when the will was written according to - "Alabama Records", Pauline Jones Gandrud, from a set of 245 Volumes of which I saw in the Macon Library, Macon GA - but should be available in any large genealogical facility - NOTE - I followed this Hinchey (above) from SC into GA - Mainly because of his Christian name - My ancestor was ALSO, Hinchey Mitchell, born 1775 VA and he appears in the Clarke Co GA tax records for 1809 - and then into Henry and Clayton Counties of GA - I found it incrediable, that both would have the SAME name - Very unusal name - which is actually "Hennessy or Henessy" (Irish) - But.. to find two with the same unusual christian name, born about the same time and in VA, well - confusing and unusal - I have thought perhaps they were both connected thru a common ancestor. 5. THOMAS MITCHELL - 6. EDWARD MITCHELL NOTE - This branch apparently lived in SC, Edgefield Distract - I found them in early census's for SC - I would also recommend the Robert Scott Davis books on early GA. Also, "Wayfarers in Walton" by A.B. Sams, pub. 1967 - first reported in the NC Genealogical Soc. Journal, Vol VII (1981), No 2 - has a story which they called "bizarre" of Walton Co GA (Robert Scott Davis) and this part of GA WAS NC - I did find in the book, lists of those living in the disputed part of GA or NC, whichever were claiming it's boundries - of an AND (Andrew?) MITCHELL living there and in his HH were 12 or 13 (whites) - Let me hear from those of you who know something about this branch of Mitchell - I have more on them - MaryJean
