Surnames: MCALISTER, MITCHELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hcB.2ACE/2354 Message Board Post: Please contact me with any information. Nathan McAlister is known to have immigrated from Ireland and to have married Isabella Mitchell b. Feb 18, 1785, who also immigrated from Ireland. Their first child, Samuel Mitchell McAlister was born in Anderson Dist. SC on Dec 07, 1804. They later moved to Tippah Co, MS. Other children were Andrew, William, Nancy, Harriett Isabella and Eliza Jane. I have found Nathan McAlister mentioned in the abstracts of wills of Anderson County for two different Andrew McAlisters, one probated in 1832 and the other in 1833, apparently father and son, Nathan being the son's brother. I would be interested to know if this is the same Nathan as my ancestor, the subject of this query. Thank you all, David Rutledge
