There are so many William Mitchells that I have to be very careful not to get the wrong information. My Wright connection is Amelia Mitchell who married William Wright. I think they were married in Grainger County but don't have any definite information/date. It was their son, William Mitchell Wright who was in Madison County, Missouri when "Old William" as we call him died about 1852. I don't have any other Wright connections but then again I don't have all the branches documented.
