Mitchell Family DNA test results have uncovered some interesting developments for some Greene County Tennesee Mitchells.
1) James Mitchell (b. 10 Jan. 1822 TN – d. 1 April 1887 Greene Co. TN) who md. Martha Louisa Stokes 29 Dec. 1848 Greene Co. James Mitchell may be the son of a Thomas Mitchell (b. ca. 1783 VA according to the 1850 Greene Co. TN census.). We have 2 participants, DNA Kits # 25054 and #2605, who were already known to be related to one another - through this James Mitchell.
Any known male Mitchell descendents of this Thomas Mitchell (b. ca. 1783 VA, lived in Greene CO. TN) are needed to join our group and submit their DNA for testing.
2) Hiram Mitchell (b ca. 1805-1812, Tennessee, county/city unknown d. after 1880 Sabine Parish, LA.) md. (1)Mourning in TN, abt. 1822 d. before 1854 and (2)Susan Corley in Bibb Co, AL 1854. (DNA Kit #92849 matched the above DNA kits exactly)
This family does not know how it is related to the Greene Co. TN Mitchells. But the relationship is very close. Based on the testing, Hiram is probably in the direct line of James Mitchell of Greene Co. TN; could be uncle, cousin, brother, etc. Hiram’s line is complicated by the fact that he has not been found on any federal census before 1850. It is thought that he is not the Hiram Mitchell in Sumner Co. TN, based on children’s ages, etc.
We would love to have a male Mitchell descendent of Hiram Mitchell of Sumner Co., TN (or of Solomon Mitchell, his supposed father) join our DNA testing group to prove or disprove this theory.
3) Robert Mitchell (b. Abt. 1784 PA? d. 12 Sept. 1860 Tazewell Cty, VA) md. Sarah (Sally) Katherine Mickle 6 Sept. 1821 in Surry Co. NC. Family also lived in Smyth Co. VA and Lawrence Co. KY before moving to South Dakota. (DNA Kit #52758)
This DNA match shows itself to be more distant the the other matches. Robert Mitchell is related to Hiram and James Mitchell above- there is a 75 % chance it was within the past 24 generations. This means their connection was probably not in Greene Co.
More male Mitchells descended from Tazewell Co., Smyth Co. VA, and Surry Co. NC should be tested for a closer match for Robert Mitchell’s descendents.
