Biography

Disputed Parents

It has been stated that Thomas Mitchell who married at Malden Nov 1655 to Mary Molton[1] might be the grandson of Francis Cooke.[2] Robert Wakefield believes the records establish that they are not the same man.[3] The parents given as Experience Mitchell and Jane Cooke are not currently accepted by the Mayflower Society as the proven parents of Thomas Mitchell of Malden.[4]

Thomas Mitchell of Malden/Charlestown

Thomas Mitchell and Mary Molton were married at Malden, Massachusetts, Nov 1655.[1][5]

Deeds showing the family presence in Malden/Charlestown:[3]

Grantee deed 6 Oct 1666. Thomas Mitchell of Malden, mariner, purchased 4 acres and a house in Malden.
9 Mar 1667/8 Thomas Mitchell, mariner, and wife Mary of Charlestown sold the above property.
2 July 1679 Mary Mitchell of Malden, wife of Thomas sold land to daughter Mary Elles, wife of William Elles (Marie and William Elles m. Charlestown 5 Oct 1675.
In the years 1661, 1666, 1669, 1670, 1672, Deeds were being made and confirmed by Thomas Mitchell of Plymouth. Some of these deeds mention his father Experience Mitchell and grandfather Francis Cooke. Thereby proving that the Thomas of Malden/Charlestown (this profile) was not the son of Experience Mitchell. Thomas the son of Experience removed to Rhode Island about 1673. [3]

It is likely that this Thomas lived in the part of Charlestown that became Malden from his marriage in 1655 until his death 1 Sept 1709.[3][1][6]

Children (except Mary) of Thomas and Marie Mitchell recorded in the Vital Records of Charlestown, Massachusetts to the Year 1850 (Boston, 1984).[3]
