Hi Candy, also sent you an email.I remember a long long time ago going to the DAR in Washington D.C and reading a book on the Mitchell family.It traces back to Scotland I believe.I think this family was in New England up until the time of Nathan Mitchell.In fact I think I distinctly remember that Nathan Mitchell and Mary Cooper or Mary Lyman (one of the wives) had lived in Canada and Maine for a while. But I do remember that our Mitchell forefathers had wives with surnames of Jenner, Williams, Preston, to name a few.I know we're directly related to them, but I don't know which were the parents of Nathan and Mary.Sorry that this is not much help, but if you run across a Mitchell biography in a genealogical library, it will trace on down to Nathan Mitchell.The DAR may be able to loan it to you on microfilm (not sure how that works) through a local library or genealogical library.Or the Library of Congress perhaps.
