If the latter, I have Mitchells who came to Franklin Co., Ar around 1850, from somewhere in TN, but I don't know the county. My ancestor's name was Elijah Mitchell and he had a brother James who also came. Another family which came from TN about the same time were the Dickersons. Don't know if they came together or not, but Elijah married into the family. If anything rings a bell, please let me know. Barbra
