Hello Listers! My name is Debbie and I'm researching the following families from Amherst/Nelson counties: 1) Leroy MITCHELL (born about 1797 and died before 1870) married to Sarah "Sallie" HARVIE (born in 1805 and died before 1859) in Nelson county, VA (1825). After death of Sallie, he married Eliza MCCLAIN (born in 1827 and died in 1910) in 1859. Leroy and Sallie had the following children: Beverly M (married WILLIAMS), Nancy (married JOHNSON), P.E.F. (not sure who this was), Lucy (married BOWLING), Thomas (married DEXTER), Betsy, Louisa (possibly Selina's middle name?), Selina (married WARE), and Sophronia (married CAMPBELL). Leroy and Eliza had the following children: John Lee (married CAMDEN), William Shelton, and Alice. They lived in AMHERST COUNTY near ROSES MILL. 2) John MITCHELL (born about 1760) married to Elizabeth HARDWICK in Bedford county, VA (1784). They are found in several AMHERST COUNTY court records. Children included: Zach (Zachariah?), George, and Harry Ann (Harriet married HAYDON). 3) Jesse HAYDON (born about 1760 and died July 1846 in AMHERST COUNTY, VA) married to Lucy MCCALLEY (born 1771 and died April 1862). Children included: Abner (married BOWLES), Richard, and Jarvis (married MITCHELL). Surname also shows up as HADEN, HAYDEN. I believe they lived near LYNCHBURG possibly MADISON HEIGHTS area.
