Jerry, I am not related to these MITCHELLs. A distant relative sent me the Bible of Rev. M.R. Mitchell. He bought it at a garage sale. This family names and dates are written in this Bible. If you want it I will gladly send it to you. I live in southern Oregon. I think the garage sale was 2 years ago in Taney, Stone or Christian County. I don't remember. It is not in very good shape but the info is easy to read. I believe this was Morris Mitchell's personal Bible because of the information inside the front cover. Let me know if you are interested. I do connect to the Jacob Smith/Matilda Mitchell family in Christian County and that is why this Bible was sent to me to see if there was a connection.
