George Washington Bickham was the seventh child of a family of nine of Hugh and Elizabeth Parker Mitchell Bickham. He was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky. When George was about 9 or 10 years of age, his parents with the family traveled to Logan County, Ohio and made their home in McArthur Township. When George became of age, with his older brother Franklin, he traveled back to Kentucky. Franklin married and stayed in Kentucky. George wondered to New Albany, Indiana where he met Deborah Cochran and on October 3, 1839 they were married. They stayed in Indiana a few years but in 1842, George packed up his family and came to McArthur Township to help care for his aging parents. In time he purchased 29 acres there. He soon became a family of 8 children. In 1859, George bought 100 acres in Richland Township from John T. Owens, but continued to live in McArthur Township until a house, barn and improvements were made. In 1862, George moved to the house he built (theory "the summer kitchen"). This is where he lived until he died in 1865. Having died without a will, it was Deborah and the children that held things together. The land was divided among the children and their mother. It is theorized that the little house was built by the prior home owner before 1859.

After his arrival in Logan County, George worked in timber of McArthur Township during the time the Big Four Railways was being put through this section, the timber was needed in the construction of the rail road. During this time, he purchased a small farm, and acted in the capacity of constable of the township. George was a man of industry and high principles of honor and of integrity. He was held in esteem and respect of his neighbors.

Copied from the Memoirs of the Miami Valley - Published in 1919

"The story of the Cherokee mills would be incomplete without mention of the sawmills which preceded and accompanied them during the clearing period, when the population of Logan county flourished as never since in point of increase. The loggers and other laborers who flocked to the timber districts were a necessary factor, but included a large proportion of 'undesirable citizens', for the greater part transitory, but stamping the times with a roughness in great contrast to the character of the real settlers. Also it encouraged another industry which was in conflict with the ethics of the good people who made their homes there. While not the only spot so abused in the county at that period, it is with regret that the record is made of a distillery to match every one of the Cherokee mills, and that the distillers were also settlers. Hugh Bickham built the first, directly south of Huntsville. It was a hewn log structure, built early, and stood a long time. .........It is claimed in extenuation of these settlers who catered to the rough element of the lumbering camps and at the same time thoughtless accomplished the ruin of many gifted pioneer sons, that there were few teetotallers the, and also fewer positive drunkards. Perhaps the popular man was not so well educated then as now, but the distillers who brought so much sorrow ruin into the fair land of Logan had blunt but eloquent old Habakkuk's warning, the same as now. It was doubtless the beginning of the great fight of later times for a "dry" Logan, when the settlers who suffered innocently set their wills to drive out the stills. And good was stronger than evil, for the millers, the tanners, the smiths, the wagon makers, and the honest farmers who subdued the prairie, ditched its lowlands, rid it of wild beasts and banished the yellow rattlers what made life a terror, ........."

Hugh had a rather extensive military service. He enlisted in the Legion of the United States in 1792. He served under officers who served General Anthony Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. He was discharged 1795 at Greenville, just three weeks after the historic treaty with the Indians was signed.

Hugh and his wife Elizabeth Parker Bickham moved from Kentucky to Huntsville i9n 1823 and soon opened a distillery south of town, perhaps in what is today known as the Old Bickham Addition. He also was a wealthy dairy farmer.

Hugh was one of the founding members of the Disciples Church, founded in 1839 in the home of James Harrod. His farmland was immediately north of the present day site of "Bickham Bridge".

Note: Notes for THOMAS MITCHELL:
**********************************************************
The following information appears on the reverse side of theThomas
Mitchell Family Sheet provided by Evelyn W. Miller.

Thelma Piper: "I can't help believe that Capt. Mitchell justmight be
skipping a generation, but maybe not. But coming to America in1682,
would mean that Thomas was probably born at least in 1661, andthat
would mean he was 48 when John was born in 1709. Guess I willhave to
go look in the Pennsylvania Archives for a marriage around 1707in
Lancaster, but then it said they didn't come to Penn. until1720. I
wonder where our John was born and where Thomas was married."

Thelma: "According to Capt. Harry Mitchell, I quote, 'Thefollowing are
the real facts, corroberated by wills. Two Mitchell brothers,Thomas
and John, had immigrated from Ireland to America in 1682 andinto what
is now Lancaster Co., PA in 1720. Thomas died in LancasterCounty in
1734. After Thomas Mitchell's death, his widow, Eleanor, and her
children moved to Augusta Co., VA.'"

Joe Burch: "Eleanor - 1737 sold 500 A Lancaster Co., PA (4 Feb1737)
went to Orange Co., VA, (Augusta). About 1738, 200 A BeverleyManor
deeded to Eleanor by Wm Beverley 13 Aug 1747. see Aull-Meteer"

Thelma: "I understand the Mitchells were first from Ulster in N.
Ireland, but went later to Craigend, Sterlingshire, Scotland.(Craigend
was a mere manor near the present town of Milingavie nearStrathblane.)"

Capt. Mitchell: "There were evidently some Mitchells in thatsmall place
because the Encyclopedia Britannica records that the celebrated
Australian explorer, Sir Thomas Livingston Mitchell was born in
Craigend, Sterlingshire, Scotland in 1792. Legend says that our
Mitchells immigrated to Ulster County, Ireland in 1637 and thenin 1682,
immigrated to America and in 1720 to Chester County, PA. Theysettled
in E. Donegal and Nottingham Townships."

Thomas Mitchell's will was written 4 May 1734; Probated 14 Nov1734,
Lancaster Co., PA. Therefore, it is safe to assume that he diedin
1734.

Mitchell Family History
Robert Mitchell & Mary Innes
To: Index Contact: Joe Crouch
Most family files on Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com have John Mitchell born Abt. 1682 Londonderry, Ulster, Ireland died 1771 Augusta County, VA., and Mary Boyd as the parents of James Mitchell, Sr., Daniel Mitchell and Robert Mitchell who migrated to Bedford County, VA circa 1748-50, but offer no documentation as proof.

The 1771 death year for John Mitchell seems to be tied to a John Mitchell whose will was written 14 Feb 1771 and probated 20 August 1771 Augusta County, VA. [8] In the will he leaves his wife Elizabeth (not Mary) the plantation acquired from his mothers oral will. The Augusta County, VA. will also names their children as 1) Thomas Mitchell 2) Eleanor Mitchell 3) Mary Mitchell 4) Robert Mitchell 5) John Mitchell 6) James Mitchell and 7) Elizabeth Mitchell. This list of children almost matches the list most trees document as children of John and Mary (Boyd) Mitchell, EXCEPT the will DOES NOT reference Daniel Mitchell, brother of the Robert Mitchell of Bedford Co., VA.

The James Mitchell referenced in the 1771 Augusta County, VA will of John Mitchell's was born Abt. 1742 Augusta County, VA and married 11 Feb 1762 Elizabeth Beard in Augusta County, VA., daughter of Thomas Beard who wrote his will [10] and who died in 1769 in Augusta County, VA. The Augusta County, VA. James Mitchell was Executor to his father-in-law Thomas Beards May 1769 will. Augusta County, VA. is also roughly 100 miles away from Bedford Co., VA. reinforcing that the Augusta County, VA James Mitchell is a different and younger James Mitchell than the James Mitchell who married Margaret (Caldwell) Rogers circa 1751 in Bedford County, VA.

Daniel Mitchell married Mary Caldwell or Mary Campbell. Daniel Mitchell died before 25 Sep 1775 Bedford County, VA and his will made his brother Robert Mitchell one of the executors of his estate. If Daniel Mitchell is not a son of the John Mitchell who died in 1771 Augusta County, VA., then neither is the Robert Mitchell who died Bef 25 Feb 1799 Bedford County, VA. (probate date), nor the James Mitchell who married Margaret (Caldwell) Rogers about 1751.

Shipley, Mitchell, and Thompson Families compiled by Stith Thompson and published in 1964 (Ancestry) stated:

“Up to the present time (1964) we have few reliable records of this line of Mitchells before 1747. It is clear that at that time there were two brothers in Bedford County, Virginia, Daniel Mitchell and Robert Mitchell.

Rev. William Henry Foote wrote of Rev. James Mitchell, son of Robert “the Elder” Mitchell

What we know of the father of these brothers comes from letters [11][12] embodying the traditions of the family of Rev. James R. Mitchell (son of Robert) who was born in 1747. These traditions assert that the father of Daniel and Robert was Robert Mitchell of Londonderry, Ireland. He is spoken of as “the Immigrant.”

Mrs. W. H. Walthall of Roanoke, Virginia, wrote on 4 February 1895:

Robert Mitchell was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in the latter part of the 17th century. His father’s family suffered greatly in that noted siege of Londonderry (1689), of which he loved to talk. When a young man in the first part of the 18th century, he married Miss Mary Innis of Edinburgh, Scotland, and moved to America and settled at Pequa, Pennsylvania. They had thirteen children. While the children were young he moved to Virginia and settled in Bedford County. He raised them all and as soon as they became grown they scattered all over the Union, all married and raised large families. Rev. James Mitchell, my grandfather was his youngest child. He was born 29 January 1747.”

From a letter from Mrs. George P. Parker of Bedford, Virginia to Stith Thompson dated 24 September 1934 we have:

“Robert and Daniel Mitchell were sons of Robert, Sr., the Immigrant. Daniel and Robert Mitchell, Scotch Irish immigrants landed at Philadelphia about 1735, went to Pequa and to Bedford County, Virginia, about 1754-1756.” [This information from family notes belonging to late Dr. John Mitchell of Bedford County.]

Based upon the above Shipley, Mitchell, and Thompson Families information, Robert Mitchell was in Londonderry at least as early as the siege of 1689, so if he had memories of the family suffering greatly he was most likely born about 1680.

__________________________________________________________________________

Robert Mitchell 1680-bef 1750 married Mary Innis in Londonderry, Ireland, while his son Robert Mitchell 1714-1799 married about 1736 Pequea, Lancaster, PA. Mary Enos born 17 Aug 1718 New Castle, Delaware as shown by the will of Richard Enos who in 1748 named my son-in-law, Robert Mitchell to be coexecutor of his will and listed Mary among his heirs. The similarity of the names Innis and Enos is remarkable and has led to much genealogical confusion.

The following map shows the probable migration path of the Mitchells from Delaware, along the Great Wagon Road to Philidelphia, to the Great Valley Road down to Bedford Co., VA.

Great Valley Road



The earliest land indenture found on the Library of Virginia LVA catalog website for Robert Mitchell places him in that portion of Lunenburg County, VA in 1748 for the portion that became Bedford County, VA. The earliest land indenture referencing Daniel Mitchell in Lunenburg County, VA is 1753. Daniel Mitchell who died before 25 Sep 1775 Bedford County, VA made his brother Robert Mitchell one of the executors of his estate. And I believe my ancestor James Mitchell who is referenced along with Daniel and Robert Mitchell in the 1754-58 Bedford County, VA. Road Orders is also a brother. My James Mitchell married Margaret (Caldwell) Rogers abt. 1751-52, the widow of William Rogers deceased. James Mitchells earliest land indenture is 1750 in Lunenburg County, VA. that became Bedford County, Va. The earliest Lunenburg County, VA. land indenture for John Caldwell (father of Margaret Caldwell) is 1 Jun 1750. The Caldwells also migrated from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. If Robert Mitchell, Daniel Mitchell, James Mitchell and John Caldwell all migrated together, then any child born 1746 [13] and later were probably born in that portion of Lunenberg County that became Bedford County, VA on the 13 Dec 1753.

The 1754-58 Bedford County, VA Road Order [1] requiring Daniel Mitchell, James Mitchell, and Robert Mitchell to work on the road suggests that they're related. The only confirmed relationship is the one stated in Daniel Mitchell's Will [2] that Robert Mitchell was his brother. Another possible link is that James Mitchell, Sr. married Margaret (Caldwell) Rogers the only daughter of John F. Caldwell [3] and Daniel Mitchell reportedly married Mary Caldwell who may have been a 1st cousin of Margaret Caldwell Rogers wife of James Mitchell.

My ancestor James Mitchell Sr. (born by or before 1730) married abt 1751 Margaret (Caldwell) Rogers, widow of William Rogers deceased Oct 1750 in Bedford County, VA. My James Michell lived near enough to Robert Mitchell and Daniel Mitchell (brothers per Daniel Mitchells 13 June 1775 Bedford County, VA. will) to be included in 1754-58 Bedford County, VA road orders so they may be brothers. And may be the James Mitchell listed as Security on Daniel Mitchells 13 June 1775 Bedford Co., VA will.

In 1774 the following Mitchell's appear on a list of petitioners for the Peaks of Otter Presbyterian Church:

Robert Mitchell, James Mitchell, Daniel Mitchell, Robert Mitchell, Sr., and Robert Mitchell, Jr.
