I recently learned that Andrew Mitchell is my 7th great grandparent on my mother’s side. We are related through his son, Andrew Jackson Mitchell (1761), James Mitchell (1782), George Washington Mitchell (1811), Mary Ann Mitchell (Boggs) (1852), Hiram Boggs Sr (1882), Aster Boggs (1906), Betty Jean Hollin (Boggs) (1934), and Pamela Hollin (White) (1967.) I’d love to learn more of my ancestry… it took a great deal of digging to make a single connection to my ancestors who immigrated over here! I’m so excited to learn more!

Mitchell-8824 and Mitchell-183 appear to represent the same person because: Look the same. His wife has a duplicate also to merge if you agree to this one.
James M. Mitchell of 3411 Geronimo Hannibal Missouri was my grandfather. His mother's maiden name was Mitchell as well as his father's surname. After finally looking at two different branches of the Mitchell tree (Ethel and Maurice) on two different family tree programs I realized that I am related to Andrew on both my grandfather's mother's and father's side. My grandfather's father was related to Andrew through his son James and my grandfather's mother was related to Andrew through his son John. My grandfather's parents were 3rd cousins once removed. I've photographed the monument to th revolutionary soldiers from the New Hope Presbyterian Congregation who served in the Revolutionary War. I originally thought the names were Andrew (father) and James and John (sons), only later to find out it was actually Andrew, James and John all brothers.

Mitchell-24617 and Mitchell-183 appear to represent the same person because: They do appear the same.
From information provided by James M. Mitchell, 3411 Geronimo, Hannibal, Mo. 63401 in 1974 to Moultrie County Geneological Society He provided this information to the Sons of Revolution, St. Louis Chapter all the infor and had more infor on Cathey, Rhodes, Hull, Welton, Freeland, Deizey, Wheeler, Beck, McGee, Bone, McCord, Pesh, Strain, Waggoner and Cole Co., Galbraith, Mitchell, Doak, and Walker. Got from sketches of autobiography of Rev George Washington Mitchell, written by him in 1893 when he was 83 given to James by his cousin Mattie Blackwood who taught 48 years in Hillsboro, NC. Also from his mother's bible and from information written in longhand by his Aunt Cora Mitchell David Hudson, given to her by her great Uncle John B. Mitchell. The origin of the name "Mitchell" is lost in antiquity. Generally accepted to be derived from the Hebrew name Michael. Over 25 family crests are on record. MITCHELL is part of the Stewart of Appin Clan. From sources of people, wills, record and tradition, I have learned my Mitchell ancestors were SCOTCH. The immigrant Andrew and Mary came from County Limerick, Ireland. With them came his brothers and sisters: David, married A. Ried; William married Margaret McDowell d/o Immigrant Ephraim McDowell (Not Dr. Epraim McDowell); John (marriage not certain); Isabella Stewart; and Elizabeth Davis. They settled in a Scotch-Irish Colony in Western PA about 1752. By 1758 James, John, Andrew, and David removed to Orange County, North Carolina. Andrew settled on Eno Creek, five miles south of Hillsboro, North Carolina. He helped to establish the New Hop Presbyterian Church. He was a ruling Elder in 176. Others serving at an early date were Alexander Strain, Gilbert Strayhorn, John Craig, John Freeland, - Johnson, Blackwood, Woods, Burns. A monument bearing the names of James, Andrew, and John Mitchell, among other soldiers from that church during the Revolutionary war. That church is still there with the monument. Andrew Mitchell's will was written October 3, 1817; recorded in 1824. Indicates he was in Maury County, Tenn. Shows wife Polly; son James, George, John, David; daughters Jennet (Robert) Holmes, Polly ____, and Elizabeth. Some of these names do not match names on the history submitted by James M. Mitchell.
