Hi Marti, Not sure which one you mean, but..as for the christian name of "Hinchey", well, there were two of um' - My ancestor and the Hinchey Mitchell born 1772 VA who migrated from Edgefield SC to Tuscaloosa AL - I tracked him from SC to AL from original copies of documents - The other, John "Hinckley" Mitchell is well documented in Charleston SC - And while I thought he might be my "Hinchey" with a variant, it was consistantly (documentation) as John "Hinckley" Mitchell of Charleston SC - My cousin lived in Charleston about 10 years ago, she (paternally) descends from the Governor Daniell of SC (pre-ARW) and did extensive work on the Mitchells in that area and in SC - So, she gathered original copies of everything she could locate on anything which named Hinchey Mitchell - Starling - John Hinckley Mitchell and the other's who show in the census's, deeds and etc - I have original copies of deeds and census's from SC for Mitchell - Plus printed data (books, etc) and cemetery records from both SC and AL - While I live in GA - There were a number of Mitchell's here needless to say! Many of them came out of SC and into GA - There were around three to four adult Thomas Mitchell's in GA pre-ARW - Several are well documented which would include the Mitchell family who connect to the "Branch" ancestry - Then the David Mitchell who was Governor of GA - Also the Thomas Mitchell, ARW soldier out of Wilkes Co GA who married Elizabeth Dooley - he has been confused with several other lineages, but according to the Wilkes County Courthouse papers I personally researched (in Wilkes) - He died with two children and his wife Elizabeth was from the celebrated Dooley family in that area - She is surrounded in mystery however, as it was reported that her deceased husband's will was burned right in front of her in the attorney's office - Her deceased husband's lands taken from her bit by bit - and she fled on horseback with Thomas Bibb to KY - Her son was also named Thomas and he took care of the rest of her estate which had belonged to his father, Thomas Mitchell, ARW soldier out of Wilkes Co GA - See Robert Scott Davis's books on Early GA Records - And I certainly do know about the variants in names, we do have to allow for it, that's for certain! I will also say, I saw STERLING and STARLING Mitchell in SC records and in GA records - before 1800 - Any information from this list would be most welcome or any comments. Thanks for writing! MaryJean
