I'm looking for information on the children of my great-great grandparents Leonard Mitchell and Mary Ethel "Mollie" Osteen. Both of them had been married previously, and I'm looking for information on any children they may have had from those marriages. Leonard was first married to a woman named "Sallie" sometime before 1897. He appears with her and two of their children on the 1880 Tate County Mississippi Census: Mitchell, Leonard - Self, M, M, W, 26, AR Mitchell, Sallie - Wife, F, M, W, 20, TN Mitchell, Minnie - Daughter, F, S, W, 3, MS Mitchell, Willie F. - Son, M, S, W, 1, MS Mollie was first married to a man recorded as "R. Dempsey" on February 25, 1894 in Tate County, Mississippi. I don't know if there were any children by this marriage. Leonard and Mollie appear together with two of their daughters on the 1920 Tipton County Tennessee Census: Mitchell, Leonard head m w 61 m AR AR MS farmer , Ethel wife f w 42 m MS MS MS none , Addie M. daughter f w 8 s TN AR MS , Ida daughter f w 5 s TN AR MS My great-grandmother was Addie Mae Mitchell. She mentioned a second sister named Ethel Rose "Rosie" Mitchell who was born shortly after this Census was taken in 1920. The girls' mother died shortly after giving birth to Rosie and seven years later their father also passed away. Addie took on the responsibility of raising her little sisters and on the 1930 Tipton County Tennessee Census Ida is living with Addie and her husband William T. Tracey: Tracey, William T. head m w 22 m 20 TN TN TN farmer , Addie M. wife-h f w 19 m 18 TN TN TN none , William T. Jr. son m w 3/12 s TN TN TN none Mitchel, Ida M. sister-in-law f w 16 s TN TN TN none But where is Rosie? She would only have been 10 years old so she couldn't have lived on her own. Perhaps she's living with an older half-sibling? Addie mentioned that she had a (half or step) brother Pete and a (half or step) sister that lived in St. Louis I believe. If anyone has any information on the people I've mentioned here, please contact me. Thanks for reading. Terra Tracy
