Hello.. I am from the MItchell, Hays .Clymer and other Dickson surnames... They were aall great grandparents related........I recently recieved a Pension for my grandfathers brother fffffor the Civil War...in it was a letter signed by W. J. Climer,, a family of grandfathers sister through marriage.. but also the signature of W. MCAdoo.........I am interesssted in any connection to the Mitchells....My grandmother Arabella Mitchell had a Deed in which she signed over land to her son William R. Mitchell in earlly 1850's... but we never knew why it also had the name Sarah McAdoo also at the botttom of the Deed,, which we assumed was a Witness signature.. though it did not list this Sarah as Witness... So we wondered if she was a relative of Arabella's and co owned the land in some way....never did find the connection.....and now heere is another connection in the Petition to the Civil War Board with the connection again.. Have you ever heard of any connection between my family and yours? Lenora
