I have been working to trace the descendants of Thomas Carroll and Angeline Mitchell, especially the descendants of Martha (Mitchell) and Harvey Long.I just recently made a tour of 4 cemeteries in Wood County, Ohio and found several of the descendants. I took my helpers along.Ethan and Ellie were eager to help look even in the heat. They earned 25¢ for looking and another 25¢ for finding the

I feel as though I have confirmed Angeline Mitchell's maiden name as "Higdon/Higden." I have been trying to identify the children of Thomas C. and Angeline Mitchell for some time, with not much to go on. I had previously found a website that has transcriptions or extractions of Audrain County marriage books with citations and have extracted some Mitchell brides who I am hoping are the daughters

Civil War Prisoner of War Record [Ancestry.com link] for Thomas C. Mitchell located at Ancestry.com. This bit of information confirms that he indeed was a prisoner of war as he stated in his pension application and not a deserter as his Compiled Military Service Records state. He was a prisoner at Alton, Illinois. I have not been able to determine his length of stay from these records yet,

I have created a map of all of the documents that I have located for Thomas Carroll Mitchell. You can view it here:Google Maps

I have located Joseph Higdon in the 1840 Census for Barren County, Kentucky [Ancestry Link]. Also on the same page are a Margaret Higdon with 3 females in the household, one of them being 70-80 years old and an Ishmael Higdon with what looks like a small family. Could be a brother to Joseph, I'll have to check further.

In the previous post about census findings for Thomas and Angeline Mitchell I listed the 1850 census. One page later in the 1850 census for Barren County, Kentucky is the household of Joseph Higdon/Higden. [Ancestry link]On Angeline's death certificate it listed her father as "Thomas Mitchell" (obviously not correct) and her mother as "Joe Higdon." (Probably not her mother, but possibly her

I've been unsuccessful in locating any further information on Thomas Carroll Mitchell or Angeline. I'm going to try a different approach now and turn to looking into their children who are not my ancestor.I've mostly studied their son Thomas E. Mitchell who stayed in Audrain County, Missouri for his entire life. He was easy to trace in the census. I've sent away for his death certificate and

Thomas Carroll Mitchell's father, according to his death record, was Joseph Mitchell. Also according to his death record, Thomas was born in "Jonesburrow", TN in 1826. So, in the 1830 census he should be 4 years old. I looked in TN and turned up a Joseph Mitchell with a boy under 5. This could be the family. I looked for other Joseph's and none of the others (there were only 2 or 3 total) had

I have searched high and low for the marriage record for Thomas and Angeline. I took a trip to Denver Public Library a few months ago. I looked in every book they had that was for Barren County, KY. Then I began looking at surrounding counties. I turned up nothing!
