MITCHELL - MITCHELL, John Henry, was born in Petersburg, Dinnwiddie Co., VA in 1742-0r 1748. According to records I have found, this John Henry died in 1771. Also, a John Henry MITCHELL died in Oglethorpe Co. GA. in 1804. This second Johm Henry was father of Thomas Hardaway MITCHELL, who was born in Dinwiddie Co., VA in 1793. I believe there were two John Henrys because the first would have been too old for a son born in 1793, even if the records didn't show he died in 1771.I would like to find someone with information to help me clear up this confusion. Who was John Henry 1's wife? When and where was John Henry II (or Jr.) born? Did John Henry 1 serve in the revolution? Who was John Henry 1's father and mother? If anuone has any helpful information, I would much appreciate it. Bill MITCHELL

Margaret Katherine was born in Wales and came to America as a little girl and was raised here...I am trying to find out more about both families. Jacob's father was also named Jacob as was his grandfather's. His grandfather came to America around 1705 with his son's Jacob, Mark and Adam. As I mentioned Margaret came to America as a small girl and these are the circumstances...She had an estate which was to desolve on her guardian at her death. In order to get her estate, he sent her on shipboard to Petersburg, Virginia. Here she grew up and married Jacob in 1760. Can anyone help fill in the holes...Surely there were Thompson relatives in Petersburg that raised her...
