This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mitchell, Alexander Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JhB.2ACE/864.1.2 Message Board Post: I am a descendant of Henry Mitchell's. Henry and Sarah Alexander (2nd wife) had 3 children, Daisy, Virgie & Grover Cleveland Mitchell. Somewhere in the marriage "Viola" was born (she is my Grandmother now deceased)....Rumour is that Henry was actually Viola's father and we were told that "Lou" was his mother....we can't find out who this "Lou" actually is....shortly thereafter Henry was thrown out of the house and lived with Laura (daughter from previous marriage)...and Sarah Alexander (called her "Ma Mitchell") raised my grandmother. We were told that Sarah came over from Georgia on the Trail of Tears. We were also told that Sarah's mother & dad died and her brother sold the estate. If you have any info differenet than mine I would love to hear from you.
