Doris,
What is your source of information about the Mitchells?
The book "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia - Extracted
from the Original Court Records of Augusta County 1745-1800" by Lyman
Chalkely and published in 1966 has this will Vol. III, page 444:
14th February 1771 John Mitchell's will, farmer, To wife, Elizabeth,
plantation acquired from his mother by verbal will;. to third son John; to
fourth son, James, executor, to youngest daughter, Elizabeth; to eldest son,
Thomas, to eldest daughter, Elenor Wilson; to second son, Robert; to second
daughter, Mary Right. Teste: John Tate, Andrew Moore, Thomas Wilson. Proved
20th August, 1771, by Moore and Wilson.
This John Mitchell married Elizabeth Wilson ca 1730 Lancaster Co., PA. He
lived in Beverley Manor, Augusta Co., VA. His son Thomas married (1)
Elizabeth McClenachan Moor and (2) Elizabeth Wales. Son Robert married
Elizabeth Glass and moved to Woodford Co., KY. Son John married an Elizabeth
_______ and also moved to KY. Daughter Eleanor married Mathew Wilson. Son
James married Elizabeth Beard. Daughter Mary married Samuel Wright. No info
on Elizabeth other than she was baptised 6 Mar. 1747.
This John Mitchell was the son of Thomas Mitchell and Eleanor ______. Thomas
died in Lancaster Co., PA in Oct. 1734 (Will proved 14 Nov. 1734 Lancaster
Co., PA.
The book "Kentucky Genealogy and Biography" Vol. 5, p. 209 edited by Thomas
Westerfield has a biography of Thomas Mitchell b. 16 June 1768 Rockbridge
Co., VA. Thomas was the son of John Mitchell and Margaret Porter. John
Mitchell was the son of John Mitchell and Mary Boyd. The book states "John
Mitchell and Mary Boyd immigrated from Ireland when their two children were
very young. They appeared in Lancaster Co., PA in 1721. They lived there
until 1737 when they moved over to the Virginia frontier to the area known as
Augusta Co., VA. The area in Virginia later became Rockbridge County. In
1744 John, Jr. with his father's money selected a tract of land south of the
Borden Grant for his father. The grant was for 400 acres being as stated in
the patent, on a Branch of the James River called Broad Spring Branch." (The
book states two children which would have been John and William.)
The 1719 tax list for Donegal Twp., Lancaster Co., PA lists only one Mitchell
- James Mitchell. The 1722 tax list for Donegal Twp., Lancaster Co., PA
lists James Mitchell and John Mitchell. (The will of James Mitchell in 1746
lists sons James, Alexander, William, and Thomas - No John)
The John Mitchell in the 1722 tax list was very likely John and Mary Boyd.
Also arriving to Donegal Twp. was Rev. Adam Boyd from New England. John and
Mary appears to have first arrived in Connecticut before moving on over to
Donegal Twp.
Rev. Adam Boyd is very likely Mary Boyd's father. Rev. Adam Boyd was one of
the first pastors at the Donegal Presbyterian Church.

Susannah b. c 1744 Bedford Co. Va OR Campbell Co., VA; d. 20 Aug 1813 Mercer Co, KY. So John Mitchell who died in 1793 in Mercer Co., KY could very well be connected to this family. (please check my list posted here on 9 Sept 2001 Susannah is the d/o Robert Mitchell/Mary Enos. Robert is the s/o John Mitchell/Mary Boyd of Lancaster Co. PA.) [I do NOT agree. MAM]
I also found from "The History of Lancaster Co., PA; East Donegal Township" a James Mitchell here in 1718; Thomas & John Mitchell in 1720; William & Alexander Mitchell in 1730. We don't know if James is a brother to Thomas & John, but there is a brother, William listed on Thomas's will. Alexander, is most likely another brother, having arrived at the same time as William. There is also another John there, listed in other things in "The History", but he was apparently not related, or at least not the brother John. I do believe though, that Thomas brother John, remained in Lancaster Co.Pa. It was Thomas son John that moved to Augusta Co. VA.

Somewhere I posted this already, but I can't seem to find it either, so will post it again here. Since I wrote this up, though, I have figured out there is a slight confusion in the 2 John Mitchells, the brother of Thomas and the son of Thomas. I have it here that the brother of Thomas, John and his wife, Mary Boyd Mitchell, eventually went to Augusta Co. VA too. However, I have proof that it was the son of Thomas, John that went to Augusta Co. VA. I believe his brother stayed in Lancaster Co. PA. There are known will's for both of these John's, but I haven't sent for them yet. Even though, I now believe the brother John to have stayed in Lancaster Co. PA, I believe he is still the ancestor of my 2nd line listed here. I hope these names, dates, etc will be of some use to you. Please let me know. Nita
[email protected]I will list here the names of my Mitchell's, two separate lines from two brothers...first Thomas Mitchell, then John Mitchell.
First line (my 6th ggrandparents)
1. Thomas Mitchell b. c 1670/75 in Northern Ireland d. Oct 1734 Lancaster Co., PA; m. Eleanor unknown c. 1707. She was b. c 1670/75 in Isle of Skye, Scotland. She d. aft 1747 Augusta Co., VA
Issue:
*1. John b.c.1709 d. 1771 Augusta Co. VA; m. Elizabeth Wilson (mine)
2. Martha b c 1710 m. Francis Beatty
3. Jean (or Jane) b c 1712 m. Samuel Doak
4. Mary b c 1715 m. John Tate
5. Jennett b c 1717 m. John Greer
[I have deleted the rest posted on this line. MAM]
Second line (my 6th ggrandparents)
2. John Mitchell (brother to Thomas first line above) b. c 1680/82 Londonderry, Northern Ireland; d. 14 Feb 1771 Augusta Co., VA; m. Mary Boyd b. c 1684 Londonderry, No. Ireland d. aft 1771 Augusta Co. VA, they married abt. 1703/04 prob Londonderry, Ireland
Issue:
1. Thomas b. c 1704 Londonderry
2. Elenor b. c 1706 Londonderry
3. Mary b. c 1710 Londonderry
*4. Robert b. 1714 Londonderry, No. Ireland; d. 25 Feb 1799 Bedford Co., VA; m. Mary Enos 1736 prob. Delaware (mine) [MAM - I do NOT believe that Robert belongs here. Per the will of Daniel Mitchell of Bedford Co, VA the 2 of them were siblings.]
5. John J. b. 1 Jan 1719 No. Ireland; d. Nov 1789 VA
6. James b. c 1721 No. Ireland
7. Elizabeth b. c 1723 No. Ireland.
Robert Mitchell/Mary Enos [MAM - I do NOT believe that many of these children belong to Robert and Mary Enos. See Robert's page.]
1. David b. c 1737 prob Delaware
2. Frances b. c 1743 prob Delaware
3. Enos b. c 1744 Pequa, Lancaster Co. PA; d. 27 Feb 1841 Bedford Co. VA
*4. Susannah b. c 1744 Bedford Co. Va OR Campbell Co., VA; d. 20 Aug 1813 Mercer Co, KY m. Josiah Campbell abt 1762 VA.(my 4th ggrandparents)(their daughter Elizabeth Campbell m. Allen Jones; their son Martin Mitchell Jones m. Elizabeth Wallace; their daughter Nancy Jane Jones m. William Henry Walden, son of Lewis Walden/Sarah Mitchell from my first line of Mitchell's. Nancy Jane Jones/William Henry Walden are my ggrandparents)
5. Samuel b c 1749 Pequea, Lancaster Co., PA; d. 15 Mar 1835
6. Daniel b. c 1750 Pequea, Lancaster Co., Pa; d. 25 Sep 1775 Bedford Co, VA
7. Robert Harvey b. c 1752 Pequea, Lancaster Co., PA; d 1818 Mercer Co., KY
8. Stephen b. c 1754 Pequea, Lancaster, Pa
9. Sarah "Sally" b. c 1757 Pequea, Lancaster Co., PA
10. Mary b. c 1758 Pequea, Lancaster Co., PA
11. Margaret b. c 1762 Pequea, Lancaster, PA
12. Andrew b. c 1764 of Bedford Co., VA
13. Martha Ann b. 1767 Pequea, Lancaster, Pa; d. 1 Jun 1875 Bedford Co. VA; buried Stewartsville, Bedford Co., VA
14. James b. 29 Jan 1749 Pequea, Lancaster Co., PA; d. 27 Feb 1841 Prince Edward Co., VA (I believe he was a minister)
15. John b. 3 Nov 1760 Bedford Co., VA
There seems to be some discrepancy between the two John's listed, the son of Thomas and the brother of Thomas. What I printed above concerning the brother of John, I found from the family search site. However, the military records of John, the son of Thomas says that this is the John that was given a Beverly land grant in Augusta Co. VA, for his military service. The submitter for this material on John, the brother of Thomas, has the same death date, etc., as the son of Thomas has. So I believe they have confused these two John's. I believe John, the brother of Thomas, stayed in Lancaster Co., PA, taking care of both his own property and the property left in his care by Eleanor, the widow of Thomas. I intend to send for a copy of his will and also a copy of the will of John, the son of Thomas in Augusta Co. VA.
It is possible, that they have the children of both of these John's confused as well, and listing the same children as children of both. A copy of the wills on one or both of these John's could clear up a lot of this confusion.
At any rate, both John and Thomas Mitchell are my 6th great grandparents.
I hope this is of help to someone.

Some time after Rachel Berry moved to KY her sister, Naomi Shipley Mitchell, followed her. Naomi was the wife of Robert Mitchell. She was massacred by the Indians when the family was attacked while en route to KY. Her daughter, Sarah Shipley
Mitchell, named for her mother's people, was captured by the Indians during the same attack and a few years later upon having been returned to her relatives became the constant associate of Nancy Hanks, her first cousin. It was for this Sarah
Shipley Mitchell that Nancy Hanks most likely named her first child, Sarah Lincoln. It is interesting also that Sarah Mitchell who married John Thompson names one of her daughters, Nancy. A nephew of Sarah Shipley Mitchell was named Tom Shipley
Mitchell.
