In the 1850 census, Henry lives with Elizabeth Banks, his grandaughter. They are living next door to Henry's son, Danville/Daniel Mitchell. In the 1860 census, Henry lives with Fanny Mitchell, his daughter-in-law, and another granddaughter, Kisiah. The 1860 census is the last one he appears on.
The following is the genealogy of the Mitchells who settled in the Kenwood/Inman area of Fayette County based on census records, Fayette County tax digests, land records, Fayette County marriage records, and on the Henry Mitchell Family Bible, which is in the possession of Mark Bolding of Kansas, the greatgrandson of Manerva Frances Mitchell Thornton. Also some of the information is taken from research by Joe Henry Hightower Moore and from Frances Banks Storey’s research on the Banks family.
