Richard Mather in "The James" from Bristol, England, in 1635. After a residence at Concord and Springfield, Massachusetts, where he signed the contract with Pynchon and others in May, 1636, he moved to Saybrook, Connecticut; was representative to the general court of Connecticut, 16o7, died in Stamford, Connecticut, 1646. He flurried and left male issue. II) James, son of Matthew Mitchell, settled in Elizabeth, New York where he died prior to 1684. His widow received an allotment or land at Westbrook, New Jersey, near Rahway road, and died there in 1688. He married and left male issue.

(v) Richard, son of Nathaniel Mitchell, was born in Orange, New Jersey, July 5, 1769, died in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, March 11 1847. He was one of the early settlers of Chemung County, New York. locating in the town of Southport in 1791 with brothers Thomas and Robert. A year later Richard and Thomas Mitchell came up the Tioga river in a canoe and settled August 27, 1793, at what has since been known as Mitchell Creek. He cleared and improved a farm on Tioga river., which he Cultivated until his death. He was a man of strong athletic build, a fine type of the sturdy pioneers who subdued the forests of Tioga County. There were few settlers when he first arrived and the county a dense wilderness, but he lived to see it well settled, filled with well cultivated fields and thriving towns.
