Is anyone aware of a relationship between the Sandidge family and Mitchell family of Amherst county? I am trying to track down one of my ancestors, John Mitchell who married Elizabeth Hardwick. Their daughter, Harriet "Harry" Ann Mitchell married Jarvis Haydon and I'm descended through them. I believe that my John Mitchell may have gone to Kentucky and left his family in Amherst county. There is an Amherst county court document dated Sept 16, 1805: Jno. Mitchell, Madison Co., KY to Waller Sandidge, A C, for 150 English pounds, and 2 slaves. Wit. Jno Sandidge, Stephen Carter and proved by them in AC, February 17, 1806. Anyone out there related to Jno or Waller Sandidge or perhaps to Stephen Carter? Have you found any marriages with the Mitchell family? Any help appreciated. Thanks!
