Dee, I found a lot of Mitchells in V. & W.Va.- Vol. 1 There is one Robert. He is to old but this is what it says. Robert, b17-- father-William, Roberts w is Hannah Ball, md 1746 Quit a few of the Mitchells are connected to Ball. Even the newer ones. Is there another Mitchell? There are aproximately 17 given names with this surname. As with the other's if we have the other vol's I will see what else I can find. Cathy D
