I have been told by two reliable sources that my ancestor's service was in North Carolina and to look in the Morgan District. Whether this service was in the Continental Line or not, I have yet to find out. Also, can someone please clarify for me whether the Morgan District was ever part of a region that was mapped to Georgia or another state? After the War: My great, great, great, great, great grandfather, Henry Mitchell, Revolutionary Soldier, settled in Cornucopia in the northwest corner of Jones County, Georgia. Land records are from 1811. Henry owned a grist mill on Falling Creek watercourse. He and his wife, Sarah Maderias Mitchell, helped organize the New Hope/Caney Creek Primitvie Baptist Church in 1813. They brought with them letters from County Line Primitive Baptist Church. Henry and Sarah had nine children. The above information is published in the county history and in the county genealogies of Jones County, Georgia. The will of Henry Mitchell was probated in Jones County, Georgia in 1819 (I have a photocopy). Georgia Land Lotteries and the American Revolutionary War Veteran: In 1827 Henry Mitchell (RS) was a "fortunate drawer" in the Georgia Land Lottery, winning land in Carroll County, Georgia. He was eligible for the number of draws for veterans of the American Revolutionary War. This information is free on the internet from the Georgia Dept. of Archives and History under Revolutionary Soldiers. The name of Henry Mitchell of Jones County appears in "Authentic Listing of American Revolutionary War Veterans and the Georgia Land Lottery". (Those interested in this free information can google on Georgia Department of Archives and History and click on Revolutionary Soldiers). This information is also included in the "History of Jones County, Georgia, 1807-1907", Memorial Edition, by Carolyn White Williams with index by Margaret Heard Stephens on pages 986-987 of the 2003 reprint. It is included under the "Roster Revolutionary Soldiers and Widows". A notation is also made that Henry Mitchell, Revolultionary Soldier, was buried in Jones County, Georgia. Additional published family information is from "Family Sketches of Jones County, Georgia" by Carolyn Mitchell Black, published in Volume 1, Genealogies, "History of the People of Jones County, Georgia," by Frank M. Abbott. The civil records are in Jones County, Georgia. I sure would like to find Henry for all the right reasons. Do the bio. What was Henry's serving? Most sincerely, Terri Anne Hastings
