Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/1206 Surname: Mitchel ------------------------- Hello McCurtain co OK.: I am searching for info. on a family I believe came to OK. in mid 1800s. The family of Golden F. MItchel. He was a Creek indian. Possibly he was of a Cherokee father, originally from TX. Golden was born in 1822 in AL.. It said in family stories that his dad was from TX. originally. And his mom was a Creek in north east AL. I do not know the names of his parents or siblings. This is what I am looking to find. Golden lived in what is now Marshall co AL on a reservation (combo of 2) named Merrill/Robinson R. In abt 1839 and 1840 he moved to KY. To a county on the TN. river located in south western part of KY.. There he married a white lady. That is where my family records start. This is all the info. I have on the Mitchels. I was hoping, at last resort, to possibly find someone with Mitchel ancestors. When Golden left AL. he didnt bring other family with him. So I assume he may have had siblings. I assume his parents died. I am told that when you were given lands in AL then you lived on it. But when you died the land went back to the government.. They may have been sent to OK. during the forced moves. The surname has been spelled Mitchel/Mitchell/Mitchyl. Golden married a S. Weatherspoon in KY. And had my gggrandmom Malinda Alice Mitchel. I am trying to find info. on the family. Pictures definitely indicate as do family stories they were indeed native american. But finding Goldens people seem to be impossible. Golden lived on that above mentioned reservation with the following other family:surnames: Waters Crow Montgomery Golden Mitchel * Merrill Ferrill Pannell if anyone has any Mitchel ancestors. Please contact me. I have hit all deadends trying to trace this family Thanks Lisa Link: My genealogy page-Mitchel,Stubblefield, Hutson, McAdoo URL: <http://hctennessee.accessgenealogy.com>
