I think I can state who was NOT the ancestors to James M. Mitchell. It is quite clear through census entries, etc. that the James Mitchell (m. Martha McGregor) from Warren co was not the son of James Mitchell and Mary Craig! The Maury Co, TN James Madison Mitchell married Winifred Ridley and remained in the area until about 1860, when he moved to Dade Co, MO to join his brother, William H. Mitchell. He died in 1872. In the 1870 census, you will see a James and Martha, and a James M. and Winifred, in Dade Co, MO. The Warren Co Mitchells had similar given names and birth dates, which is confusing. However, it is possible? that James (Marthas) grandfather was Andrew Mitchell ( Orange Co, NC - not Iredell, NC). ..Allan
