I have points to this family as the one I'm looking for. However, this
generation did change the spelling of Mitchell. Some documents have
Mitchel (only one "L" and dropped the "a").
Upson County, GA marriage records has it spelled Mitchael.

IGI Records: James W. Mitchell, m: 28 Jul 1853 to Martha J. Belt in Frederick, Maryland; Batch # 7004117, Sheet # 86, Source Call #0538258. I don't know if this is the same James W. I'm looking for. However, one of my James W. Mitchell's grandson's name is Frederick and his great grandson's name is Frederick Mitchell. Also, the wife's name and middle letter are the same. I have not been able to verify this yet.

Mary Ann Watson said in CW Pension Application she was 60 yrs old in 1910 (could be 1900, it has a 0 with a 1 over the 0) ; places her birth 1850, but Death Certificate states date of birth March 5, 1855. I believe she was right (1850) cause this would make her 15 yrs old when married, instead of 10 yrs old. On the other hand, her death certificate states "age, 83 yrs 10 months 1 day" (1855). 1880 Census has age 29 instead of 30 _ _ The Mitchell surname has been spelled several ways: Mitchel, Mitchell, Mitchael, Michael. _ Started with 46th Georgia Infantry, Company A with Peyton J. Colquitt as Colonel, Charleston, SC. Transferred to Company I 32nd Georgia and went to Virginia under Capt. Jim Lewis. His request for Confederate Pension was granted in 1900. _ He states he has lived in Cooke County, TX 19 yrs. This would mean he moved here in 1881. _ The following was supplied to me by Martha Cook Callaway: "James W. was married to Martha Jane Reed. The family moved to Mississippi about 1870. They can be found on the Prentiss County, Census for 1870. The census shows James W.'s birthplace as Tennessee. Martha Jane Reed was born in Lawrence County, AL. James W. and his wife Martha Jane, as well as their son, Phillip B., all died in Booneville, Prentice County, MS. Henry Clay Mitchell died in Fannin County, Texas. Annie Martin Mitchell died in Montague County, Texas, and my notes only show Texas for the death place of James Wiley Mitchell." I don't believe this is the same line of my Mitchells even though there are a lot of similarities. However, I have not confirmed this yet. _ 1850 Census Giles County, TN, Dist #8, page 938, Family #891, age 5, Head of house James W.
