Speaking of brick walls on John Mitchell, I have a John M Mitchell born in 1818 somewhere in NC but cannot find his parents or siblings either. He married Margaret Box and died in St Clair Co Alabama, I have birth and death dates but no parents or siblings. Any help would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Mitchell" <mitchell3121@worldnet.att.net> To: <MITCHELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 5:02 PM Subject: [MITCHELL] John Henry Mitchell, 1745-1806 > Hello, list.
