      The Shipleys and Mitchells moved to near Greenfield, Dade Co. MO. in around 1850. James Mitchell(1796-1882) and Martha McGregor (1794-1872) were the parents of many of these Mitchells. I do appreciate hearing from you.

      James and Martha McGregor Mitchell, moved from N.C. to Warren Co. abt. 1800~1810 way I have it figured since they had 11 children and the first was born in 1811 (William B. Mitchell) This B could stand for either Box or Burleson some has it both way's I tend to think Box since the Box Family are supposedly in the family farther back and why Burleson he William married a Malinda (Matilda) Burleson the family would have had to had connections with this Clan before William was born.

      This was my 2nd Great-Grandfather. All the other 10 children were born there too...in McMinnville or there close 'bouts.

      The second child was Lucinda A. she Married a Tidence Shipley abt 1843.

      The third was Margaret J. "Peggy" she married Isaac N. (I think Newton)Martin Abt. 1842

      The fourth was Maxwell he married Rachel Foster in 1849. He died in the Civil War and his whereabouts are unknown. January 31, 1863

      The fifth child was Richmond married Luinda Shipley abt. 1846

      the sixth child was William Ela He marred abt. 1847 to Cynthia Adeline Morton and moved to Texas and died on April 27, 1883 in the F-5 tornado that tore through Bell County, Texas.

      The seventh was James Andrew he married a Charlotte Adeline Harris about 1853 in Missouri.

      The eighth child was Elizabeth H. "Eliza" Mitchell marred a Greenberry Cartwright in 1854. Not much is known about

      the ninth child Alfred P. he married probally in Missouri year unknown to a Ellen McGuire.. there is a Alfred Mitchell listed in the Dade County Poorhouse Book unknown if it is the same at this time, as some has him as having died in Texas winter of 1902.

      the tenth child Raleigh marred a Cynthia Underwood abt 1858 in Missouri. He died in Oklahoma 1913.

      The eleventh child was Mary (Molly)Polly married a John Jackson Shipley abt 1841. This Group Moved to Dade County, Missouri in 1850.

    • I need assistance in Warren County TN. I am in Maryland and I am working with a prospective member for DAR. We can prove 7 Generations to James Mitchell b. 6 Jul 1796 in NC and is shown in the 1850 Warren County, TN census.

      James Mitchell died in Dade Co Missouri in 8 Apr 1882. Sometime after 1850 he moved his family to Dade County, MO. James Mitchell married Martha McGregor b. 30 Sep 1794 in NC and died 22 Feb 1872 in Dade Co MO.

      The 1880 Dade Co MO census shows James Mitchell (grandfather) and states as in all the census from 1850 - 1880 that he was born in NC, however, in 1880 census he states both of his parents were born in VA.

      From records from Dade County His. Soc. James & Martha (McGregor) Mitchell had the following children:

      1. William B. Mitchell b. abt. 1815 Warren Co TN m. Malinda Burleson

      2. Mary Mitchell b. 6 Sep 1817 Warren Co TN m. John Jackson Shipley

      3. Lucinda Mitchell b. 4 Jan 1819 Warren Co TN m. Tidence Shipley

      Mitchells listed are:

      Solomon

      Jane

      From this information you can see that this Mitchell/ McGregor / Shipley families all intermarried and used family names for naming their children.

      If anyone has any idea where in NC James Mitchell came from or who his parent's were that were born in VA, I would greatly appreciate your help.



      Thank you so much,
