Thelma; Saw your note re Chub Bennett. I am trying to find relations of my ggg-grandmother, Mary Isabella Bennett Mitchell. She was supposedly born in Randolph Co., MO; but it may have been in the Springfield area. I have not found anyone with knowledge of her family yet. Her youngest son was my great-great-grandfather, Thomas Josephus Nathaniel Thilo Benton Mitchell. I have wondered if the Benton should have been Bennett; or maybe her name was recorded wrong. Anyway, Isabella was a famous midwife in the Garrison, Christian Co., MO area. She married Wm. C. Mitchell in about 1837 , or so, I have to look. Then, after his death in 1860, she married Isaac Peacock. Any help from you, or anyone you can connect me with would be fantastic! Thanks so much! Jerry Johnston

Thanks for your reply but my Bennett's came from Hickory & Polk Co., and were in the Taney Co., Mo. area in the 1860 till now. There they were related to the Blackwell, Teague and several other early families.

If they were in Polk and Hickory Co. they may have tied to the Mitchell folks there. We do not know who our Wm. C. Mitchell was the son of, but it may have been Morris Mitchell of Polk Co., MO. There still may be a connection, but no one seems to know.
