Biography

"John Mitchell, one of the early pioneers of Washington Township was born in the North of Ireland about the year 1760 and removed from thence to the state of North Carolina in his youth, where he married, and removed from there to East Tennessee about the year 1790. In the year 1793, he removed to Fayette County Kentucky. From thence he again removed to Middle Tennessee, settling in the then small village of Franklin, where he opened a shop, he being a wheelwright. In the year 1807, the spirit of emigration again seized him, and he removed, with at that time a large family, to within the present limits of Washington Township, settling in Captain Blackwell's Survey #1, 457, just south of Cuba. His family consisted of five useful citizens. James removed to the West at an early day. The daughters all married, lived and died in Clinton County, were they left many descendants, honored and respected."
