Surnames: Mitchell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CKB.2ACE/1713.1.1.3.1 Message Board Post: Someone posted erroneous info on the Dade Co. Website that took Andrew Mitchell down to James Mitchell and Martha McGregor. I started to run with that and got straightened up in a hurry by others. Having said that, there is a long story on William Mitchell b. 1803. It looks like a possibility that William is a brother to the James who married Winifred Ridley. I am thinking that ALLEN MITCHELL is a brother to James. He used a similar migration pattern through ILLINOIS, Mo, and Texas. Allen lived fairly close to James" son Ela, who was my great grandfather. Allen was born in 1793 in NC, where is unknown.Allen is buried at Eagle Springs Cem about 20 miles east of Gatesville Tx. He was a Mason, and his wife's name was Sarah.
