I am in a delima

I have a man named Henry Mitchum/Mitcham/Mitchem

His brother's and sisters used many variations including Meachum and Meacham


Henry as best we can guess was born abt 1804 in Lincoln Co NC he moved to GA

He appears on the 1841 Tax Digest as a Tax defaulters in Carroll Co GA (Source Carroll County Genealogical Quarterly (975. 839 D25c Vol. 13--Summer 1992)
along with his brother Bartlett Crowder Mitchum listed as Bartly and Henry Micham

On 11 Oct 1843 Carroll Co GA he married one Elizabeth Crawford

In Dec 1843 his name appears in Catawba Co NC

Excerpt from records of Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Catawba County, North Carolina, December 1843:

(Caption of Case):
JOSEPH STAMEY
VS:
NATHAN MICHAM
LAWSON MICHAM
LOGAN MICHAM
BANKS MICHAM
MURREL MICHAM
JOHN MICHAM
HENRY MICHAM
AARON MICHAM
JOSHUA MICHAM HEIRS
HENRY JOHNSON and wife, SALLY
DANIEL LYNN and wife, JAMIMA and
NARCISSA MITCHEM,
heirs-at-law of NATHANIEL MICHAM

This means that Henry was alive at least till DEC 1843

Nathaniel Mitchum married Jemima Reynolds LC NC this was Henry's parents.

After this we find no reference to Henry nor his wife anywhere.

Can someone kindly tell me if their is any Mitchum's listed in Carroll Co GA cemeteries. Please if you dont mind can you check variation spellings and if you find any Henry or Elizabeth Mitchell who might match I would like their information

WE dont know when or where Elizabeth was born or who where her parents.
