and... the parents of Matthew Mitchell were whom?? PGM from Yorkshire, England

Question

Matthew Mitchell was born about 1589 in Yorkshire.  His parents are presently listed as Thomas Mitchell and Elizabeth Clay - with no reliable source.

I'm particularly suspicious after I saw that the mother of Elizabeth Clay was a Saville.

Elizabeth Clay: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Clay-531

Any guidance, assistance, suggestions?

Comments

Anne,

NYGBR article "English Origins of the Mitchell, Wood, Lum and Halstead Families" by Matthew Wood has a "suggestive" genealogy that is 3 generations back from Matthew Mitchell.

I will detach Thomas Mitchell and Elizabeth Clay as parents.

I will note the "suggestive" genealogy in the biography.

Sound good?
