MITCHELL. English, Scots and
Irish: From the Middle English, Old French given name of Michel, the regular vernacular form of Michael. Variations:
Mitchel, Mitchell (Devon and
Gavin/Gawain/Guain/Gawen/Guyan Mitchell
The probable first generation of
my Mitchell ancestry is Gavin Mitchell (born circa 1720, died circa 1779) and
Isabelle Campbell (born circa 1725, died circa 1791). This supposition is held by fellow Mitchell
researchers Char Mazurik (email address as of 4/2001: [email protected]),
Elizabeth Smith (email address as of 4/2001: [email protected]) and Michael L.
Brown (email address as of 6/2002: [email protected]). Before publishing my Mitchell chapter on the
Internet in 9/2000, I had performed my own research in central Pennsylvania in
1998 and 1999 and concluded that this Gavin Mitchell may have been the
father of my direct ancestor Alexander (1765-1856) - but since I was not
entirely certain, I opted to not include all the information I had discovered
for fear of leading others down an incorrect path. Since posting my "Gavin-less"
Mitchell chapter on the Internet in September 2000, I have been contacted by
several researchers who believe that Gavin was the father of Alexander
Mitchell. With this in mind, I present
below information I uncovered and information I have since received from these
other researchers regarding this potentially correct generation of Gavin and
Isabelle (
I will endeavor to provide all the facts I have and let the reader decide the answer to the question: Is the 1770's Cumberland Co PA couple of Gavin and Isabella Mitchell the parents of Alexander Mitchell who died in Hendricks Co IN in 1856?
Update: I was contacted by Stephen Hopfe (email address: [email protected]) in 8/2003 who informed me that Ezekiel Mitchell (one of the assumed sons of Gavin Mitchell and who married Susanne McCollough) had a son named Gavin. This appears to add additional circumstantial evidence to the theory that Gavin was indeed the father of my Alexander, Ezekiel and others.
Although I hesitate to mention it, there is speculation on who Gavin's
father was. According to one source who
also admits this is very speculative, Gavin Mitchell's father was named Gavin
also - and he married a Margaret Campbell, a daughter of the 8th
Duke of Argyle. They had at least three
children: 1) Gavin (1720-1779), 2) Mosey M, and 3) John. Again, this information is very speculative
and readers are encouraged to treat it as such.
Another theory on the ancestry of Gavin comes from Mitchell researcher
Michael L. Brown who believes that Gavin is the son of an Alexander Mitchell
(son of James) who came from

I leave to my son James Mitchel five pounds and to my son Robert Mitchel I leave one pound and to my son-in-law Josias Brown I leave fifteen pounds the above sum to be in Pennsylvania currency and I do hereby utterly disallow revoke and disannul all and every other former testaments, wills and Executors by me in anywise before named.

---------------
Be it remembered that on the 12th day of September 1782 the testament and last will of Gaven Mitchell deceased was legally proved of which the foregoing records is a true copy……….
Isabel was so slow to settle her husband's estate that in
1788 her son cited her.
Isabel died between 19 Jun 1789 when her will was written and 12 Sep 1791 when her will was probated.
Alexander Mitchell / Ezekiel Mitchell Deed
Cumberland Co PA Deed Volume 1/Book P, Page 62
Dated 15 Oct 1791
"Alexander Mitchel and Mary his wife of Newton Township, Cumberland Co PA" deed to "Ezekiel Mitchel of said township, county and state" "for and in consideration of said Ezekiel Mitchel paying the whole and every part of the said Alexander Mitchell's half of the price of the land bequeathed to them the said Alexander and Ezekiel Mitchell by their father in his latter will, remaining unpaid at their said father's death, thereby freeing and releasing the said Alexander Mitchel and his heirs and assigns from paying the said debt." The tract consisted of 100 acres of land, with allowances of 6 percent.
This would be Alexander, the son of Alexander.
Alexander Mitchell Deed
Cumberland Co PA Deed Volume 2/Book A, Page 27
Dated 23 Sep 1757
Alexander Mitchell (but no wife name) of Lurgan Township, Cumberland Co PA deeds to Thomas Boyd of Cumberland Township, York CO PA land on the south side bordered by lands of Guyan Mitchell, on north by lands of John Car, east by those of Joseph Ramage, and on west by lands of Samuel Cochran. Witness: Andrew Boyd, William Davis.
This is certainly too early to be Alexander, son of Gavin. This has to be Gavin's brother or father.
The children of Gavin and
Isabelle (
1.
Hannah, born circa 1747, who married
Josias Brown circa 1767 Cumberland Co PA, died 14 Dec 1835 Ohio Co WVA, buried

Josias, possibly the son of Samuel and Hannah Brown of Hopewell Twp,
Cumberland Co PA, was born circa 1744 (probably Ireland), died 27 Mar 1821 Ohio
Co WVA, aged 77 years, and is buried in the same cemetery. He served in the Revolutionary War from
Cumberland Co PA. Josias: a) was taxed
in Hopewell Twp, Cumberland Co PA from 1779 to 1785, b) was a witness in 1791
to his father-in-law's (Gavin Mitchell) will, and c) purchased 100 acres in
Cumberland Co PA in 1789, which he sold in 1791 making a handsome profit. Josias and Hannah migrated to the frontier in
Ohio Co, VA (now Ohio Co in the panhandle of WVA) sometime between 1791 and
1794. They purchased 400 acres of land on

Ezekiel, born after 1745, married
Susanna McCollough, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Huston) McCollough. Susanna was born circa 1772 in PA. I was contacted by Stephen Hopfe (email
address: [email protected]) in 8/2003 who informed me that Ezekiel and Susanne had
the following 7 children: Isabelle (born
circa 1789 PA), Sarah (born circa 1791), Elizabeth (born circa 1792), Gavin
(born circa 1792, married Rebecca Collier in 1812 and married Jane Allen 1840,

a John Henderson in Fayette Co IN in 1809.
5.
James.
I was contacted by a Kathy Gregory (email address: [email protected]) in
2/2003 that this James may be the James she is researching. Her James was born in Cumberland Co PA and
married a Hetty Gibson. They had a son
named William who was also born in Cumberland Co PA and he married an Ann/Anna
Johns in 1803. This union produced a
named James Gibson Mitchell, born 5 Dec 1805, who married a Sophie Stearns
Williams in Meigs Co., OH on 1 June 1830.

The
According to stories that my father William B. Moore remembered hearing his mother and father recount, Leffa attempted in court (Hutchinson, Reno Co KS) to overturn her father’s (Alexander Mitchell) will and assume control of Barbara Mitchell Moore’s share (inherited from Carl Mitchell, son of Alexander and her father) of the Mitchell homestead section after Alexander had died.
Here are the particulars, as best as my father William B. Moore and I can determine, based on trial documents retrieved from Barbara Mitchell’s safety deposit box a year or so after her death.
On 25 November 1914 Alexander and Mary Mitchell deeded (in the form of a “statement” recorded in Reno Co KS Deed Book 125, Page 80) their entire W ½ of Section 13, as follows:
1. The NW ¼ outright to their only surviving child, Leffa Hayes. This was the tract of land that Alexander and his brother John Wesley, homesteaded.
2. The SW ¼ to Leffa Hayes, In Trust, for ultimate passing on to their two granddaughters (Marie Spence Shive the N ½ of the SW ¼, and to Barbara Mitchell the S ½ of the SW ¼) when they each became of legal age. The Trust directed Leffa to act as Trustee and to use all the rents and proceeds from renting of this particular SW ¼ to support and education of Marie Spence, then a minor, and any additional amounts to be held in trust until she reached 21. After reaching 21, all rents and proceeds from the renting of this land would pass directly to Marie (bypassing the trusteeship of Leffa Hayes). After reaching the age of 30, Marie was to be given title to this (her N ½ of the SW ¼) land.
The above deed was enacted
seventeen years before Alexander's death (which occurred on April 23, 1931).
Leffa and her family were living next door to Alexander & Mary (Mary died
in 1916) in
However, some time before his death when he was living with Leffa in Hutchinson, and when he possibly was not functioning well mentally, Leffa apparently refused to act as Trustee, under the terms of the trust, when the oldest granddaughter, Marie Spence Shive, became of age and petitioned to get her share under the terms of the trust.
During a 31 Aug 1921 court proceeding, Leffa M. Hayes produced a new will of Alexander’s in which he was going to bequeath to Leffa all of his property with the exception of one dollar to each of the four grandchildren. Alexander, in this “new” will, further states that “it is my desire that said Leffa M. Hayes be not under any obligations to perform the request made by me and my wife Mary Mitchell who is now deceased, on the 25 of November 1914 as is shown by” the deed and statement above. J. G. Somers, the presiding Supreme Court judge, states in his “Syllabus of the Court”: “This will, of course, has not been probated. Alexander Mitchell is still living. It (the “new” will) could not have the effect of setting aside and express trust previously created. The evidence relating to its (the “new” will) execution tends to show that its execution was brought about by Leffa M. Hayes in an effort to obtain the property for herself instead of carrying out the terms of the trust. We (the Supreme Court of Kansas) find no error in the (Reno Co District Court) record and the judgement of the court below is affirmed”.
Barbara Mitchell Moore, daughter of Carl Mitchell (Alexander's son and Leffa's older [by 11 years] brother), joined Marie as Plaintiff in the resulting litigation, which ultimately, under an appeal from Leffa, went before the Kansas State Supreme Court. The two granddaughters prevailed at both the District and State Supreme Court level.
Subsequently, soon after that, Barbara Mitchell bought from Marie Spence Shive the N ½ of the SW ¼ of Section 13 for $25 an acre to consolidate it in her name.

Leffa (or Nano as they all called her) as “very kind and generous with what she
had-with not a mean bone in her body so it surprises me that she was driven to
litigation over what she perceived was her due”. Jodi continues “to my knowledge she (Leffa)

The marriage of Carl and Lucy was
announced in the 6 July 1895 edition of The Hutchinson News (Page 6, Column 3):
“Married. On the afternoon of July 4 at
the residence of R.S. Holliday on Fourth Ave east, by Judge Fontron, Mr. Carl
Mitchell of Arlington and Miss Lucy Bracken of Salt Lake City. The newly married couple will live in
William B. Moore, grandson of
Carl and Lucy Mitchell, had the following thoughts on why Carl and Lucy were:
a) married in another person’s home and b) why they intended to move to
1. Parental estrangement
·
Lucy may not have been spending much
time at home as she approached age 21.
·
Her father was adamantly opposed to
the marriage to Carl because of his known poor health.
·
So Lucy may have been spending a lot
of time with her favorite sister, Mattie Bracken Prosser, in
·
My guess is that Granville was at
this time still living in
·
You will remember that Mattie raised
the younger sisters, more as a mother, after their real mother died.
·
Lucy had to return to
2. Intending to live in
·
Probably real intentions of two young
people but unrealistic because of his health, and he had no know skills except
farming [with his father] and playing the cornet.
·
They moved in with Alexander and
never left.
·
Shortly after Carl's death, Lucy
apparently found work in
·
She lived in town during the week,
leaving Barbara with her grandparents, and returning for the weekend.
·
When Barbara was of school age or sometime
shortly after, they both started living in town, renting the house initially
that is on the NW corner of where she and Dad later bought and where you have
been.
Lucy Bracken was a
strong lady, maybe even more so than my mother. So was Mattie.

Contributing to Carl Mitchell’s death was a strange case of varicose veins of the stomach. This disease was highlighted in an article in the August 1897 Volume of the Journal of the American Medical Association Permission to reproduce the article granted by the AMA in 10/98: “Rights granted herein are nonexclusive. JAMA, Volume XXIX, July-December 1897, pages 278 and 279, Copyright 1897. American Medical Association”.

AN UNUSUAL CASE OF VARICOSE VEINS
BY B. J. WETHERBY, M.D.
I wish to report what has been to me
an unusual and interesting ease of varicose veins. The patient, Carl Mitchell
of
when he attempted to walk or assumed the upright position. There was fever, anorexia, furred tongue, constipation and all the symptoms of acute inflammation. The leg on the affected side became edematous, and albumin occurred in the urine. A diagnosis of phlebitis of the femoral vein was made, and the patient confined to bed. The abdomen became very tender and the constipation more obstinate. In about ten days a tumor developed over the femoral vein in the triangle on the right side, followed by edema of the right foot and leg. The acute symptoms lasted about five weeks. Convalescence was very slow, extending over period of several mouths.
Following the subsidence of the acute symptoms the superficial epigastric and superficial circumflex iliac veins on both sides began to enlarge, which they continued to do until all the superficial veins of the abdomen were of sizes varying from that of the little finger to that of a goose quill. They can be traced with the eye to the level of the fourth rib. I succeeded in getting a rather poor photograph, which is here presented.
My theory was that a phlebitis began
in the left femoral vein, traveled up the external and common iliac of the left
side to the bifurcation of the inferior vena cava, then traveled down the right
common and external iliac veins to the right femoral. The inflammation almost
or entirely obliterated the veins involved causing almost if not the entire
return circulation from the lower limbs to be carried on by the superficial
epigastrics and superficial circumflex iliacs through their anastomoses with
the mammary and intercostals. I presented the case before the Kansas City
Academy of Medicine and nearly all the members agreed with this theory. Dr.
Cordier and Dr. Binnie of
At present he is feeling fairly well and doing work on his farm. Both legs are somewhat edematous, and at times his abdomen contains considerable fluid.
An occasional hydragogue cathartic and a constant use of laxatives keeps the edema from giving much trouble. He has an ulcer on each leg which is alternatively healing and discharging. There are no varicose veins in the legs. I have advised elastic stockings extending to the groins, to be worn on both legs, and a change to a lighter occupation.

Carl’s obituary was located in the Thursday June 28, 1900 edition of the Hutchinson (KS) Gazette:
“Carl
Mitchell Dead - The Gazette is pained very much to announce the death of Carl Mitchell
of Langdon who was the populist and democratic candidate for register of deeds
last fall. As a testimony of his
popularity it is only necessary to say that he ran very much ahead of his
ticket and received a much larger vote than any other man opposing the
republicans. Mr. Mitchell has long been
a suffer, and his affliction baffled all the physicians. It seemed to be a giving way of veins and
blood vessels especially in his extremities.
Most of the time for six years he has had several ulcers upon his feet
and limbs. His case has been written up
and illustrated in many of the large medical journals of the
Mr. Mitchell was a constant but a patient sufferer. He was an energetic man, determined to make a living whatever the difficulties. He fought a brave fight and many are the friends who honor his life, and deplore his death.”

Lucy Mitchell’s failing health
was noted in an article in the Friday February 24, 1928 edition of the
Arlington (KS)
“MRS. MITCHELL BROUGHT HOME - Mrs. Lucy Mitchell, who has been confined to her bed for the past three months, and who was in the hospital at Hutchinson for the past four weeks, is again at home, having been brought home Sunday afternoon. While at the hospital she underwent an operation for goitre, and two were removed. She is still on the sick list but is able to sit up for a short time, and is slowly improving in health. Although quite thin in flesh, she is looking much better than for some months past.
Her obituary was located in the Friday October 23, 1936 edition of the Arlington (KS) Enterprise-Front Page, Col. 6:

In 1932, due to the loss of her store by fire and also to ill health, she retired from business activities.
She will be greatly missed by the community as she was always very active in its affairs, having served 15 years at one time as a board member of School District No. 99 and, also Clerk of the City of Arlington (KS) for 6 years. She gave a great deal of her time to the work of the City Library and to all the Church organizations.
At an early age she became a member of the Christian Church, later transferring her membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church of which she was a devoted member until the time of her death.
For several years she has suffered ill health and for the past 7 months has been confined to her bed, where she was a patient sufferer. She passed away peacefully at the home of her daughter on October 15, 1936, age 62 years, 3 months and 12 days. She had planned her entire funeral service , which was conducted according to her wishes.
Mrs. Mitchell will be long remembered as a friend to everyone. Her one thought was of some act of kindness to others.
She leaves to mourn her going, her only child, Barbara, now Mrs. Claude Moore, three grandchildren, Billy, Lou Ann, and Claude Neal; two sisters, Mrs. W.D. Prosser of Salt Lake City, Utah and Mrs. J.R. Cushman of Pingree, Idaho, a number of other relatives, and a host of friends.

There my mother Lucy Elizabeth [Bracken] was born July 3, 1874. Several years later grandmother Bracken, then in her early 40's, died of tuberculosis which had already proved fatal to several other members of the Brady family. She left four young daughters ages 6 to 13. Aunt Mattie Prosser was the eldest of the group and my mother was third. The other two sisters were Aunt Sallie Easley and Aunt Eliza Cushman.
Grandpa [Granville Mansfield] Bracken never remarried and
managed to raise the girls with only the help of the 13 year old. Later as I learned to know Aunt Mattie I
could easily see her ability to assume responsibility at a very young age.
This continues now with the early adult life of my
parents Carl and Lucy Bracken Mitchell and their few short years of married
life. Lucy Bracken obtained a teachers
certificate at the age of 17 and one of her first teaching assignments was at
Garden City,
When he was only 22 he became ill with some serious
ailment that doctors could not diagnose.
Arrangements were then made for him to go the American Medical
Association in
Not long after returning home from
Mother was not quite 21 and Grandpa Bracken was reluctant
to give his consent knowing that my father could not recover. Love of course won out and they were married
in
The childhood years I spent with my grandparents were
memorable ones-the playhouses grandpa built for me, the hours I spent making
doll clothes or piecing quilt blocks. Horseback riding was a favorite
recreation. The country school where I
started to attend at age 7 was one half mile east of our home. I passed the
At this time,
In those early days, our community entertainment had to be locally provided. Fortunately we had a good city band and a large orchestra. I played the baritone horn in the band and piano for orchestra. Home talent plays and musical programs provided another form of local entertainment. On Saturday night, the country folk for miles around drove in to do their weekly shopping and visit with friends. Our store never closed before 11:00pm. Weeknights we tried to close by 9:00pm but customers liked too well to sit and visit around a big warm stove. Even this earlier closing was not always possible. In addition to working long hours in the store, mother some way found time to serve several years as City Clerk and also as a member of the Grade School Board for two or three terms.
In 1913 we moved across the street [the NE corner] to the
large two story house owned then by a former druggist. We lived there for two years and finally in
1915, mother decided to buy the Leo Eaton home.
This one located across the street south and where I spent 63 happy
years [on the SE corner of Algona and

Written by Barbara
Morma Mitchell Moore
As mentioned in the above
narrative, Barbara was a piano teacher.
One of her advertisements was located in the June 16, 1916 issue of The
Arlington (KS)
“Miss Barbara M. Mitchell, teacher of Pianoforte and Harmony. Phone 96.”
The following is a
chronology that my father, William B. Moore, compiled regarding lives of Carl
Mitchell, his wife Lucy Bracken, their daughter Barbara and her husband Claude
Moore.
1871
·
Carl Mitchell was born on 9 Sep 1871 in
1874
· Lucy Bracken born July 4th in Little River, KS.
1892
·
By age 18 Lucy must have been living in
· There is no record of a high school education, but living in a relatively large city she probably did attend high school.
·
By now or in the next year or so she would have
met Carl Mitchell, her future spouse, of rural
·
In the post-high school - not yet an adult phase
she must have started spending more time with her older sister Mattie Bracken
Prosser, married and living in
1895
·
Lucy and Carl are married on July 5th, the day
after her 21st birthday, in the home of a mutual friend [Holloway] in
·
We read in the wedding announcement that the
couple intended to move to SLC after a month in
1896
·
Barbara Mitchell is born 6 June at the Alexander
and Mary Mitchell farm in
1900
· Carl dies from internal bleeding caused by his undiagnosed restricted and damaged arteries. The census of this year shows Alexander and Mary Mitchell, and Carl, Lucy and Barbara all living together.
1910
·
By this year Lucy is boarding with the Eaton
family in
·
My guess is that this is the year in which her
mother rented the house on the NW corner of our
· The Eaton’s, where Lucy would have been boarding, lived on the SW corner.
1910 / 1911 / 1912
·
There was not a high school in
·
Barbara must have moved into town [
·
That fall she must have been taken by her
mother, Lucy, to
· If she said the name of the host family I have forgotten it. Possibly the same ones, Holloway’s, at whose home Lucy was married?
·
I have heard Mother (Barbara Mitchell Moore) say
that she came home to
· She would have been about the same age as Lindsay Moore (granddaughter of William B. Moore’s). This reminds me that Lindsay looks very much like Mother in the old pictures of her as a teenager].
·
Immediately upon the completion of the new
1912 / 1913
·
In about the same year that Barbara was
returning to
·
I know of only one other

How did Claude get back and forth? By buggy or train via
· How often did he get to come home? Probably not often.
· Claude graduated at about age eighteen and was teaching alone in a single room school west of Arlington [1.5 miles from his family's farm home] at age nineteen [there are pictures].
· I have heard him say some of the students were older and bigger than he.
1920 [and the Ungles' relationship]
·
The store where Lucy worked was owned by a Mr.
Ungles and a Wallace Moore [no relation]. I guess this is where 'we' (the Mitchells
and Moores) met the Ungles family. They had three boys, Ben, Jim, and Tom who
were like brothers to Barbara. Ben was
killed in WW I. Jim was a doctor in that
war, serving also in
·
Sometime in the early 20's, Wallace Moore moved
to
1936
·
Lucy Bracken Mitchell died at our home on 15 Oct
1936 after initially recovering from a goiter operation. The death occurred on
a Saturday morning while I was practicing baseball two blocks north of the
house on the city diamond. When I walked
in the house I knew something was really wrong.
My mother was lying down ! . . . .on the living room sofa. Dad was trying to comfort her. I had never before in my eleven years seen
her lying down, anywhere, anytime, for any reason. If she was ever sick we
never knew it. Lucy was buried
The
·
The house we lived in has a history involving
both the Eatons and Mitchells. It was
built in the early 20's by the Eatons for their only son. He apparently was not the same solid citizen
as his parents, or at least was not as predictable. I do not remember much at
all said about him ever. But my impression was that he was not the delight of
his parent's life. When the son chose
not to live in the house and presumably not in
· She and Barbara lived there until Barbara married. Then Mom and Dad bought the house from Lucy. Lucy continued to live there. And sometime in the early 30's Dad's mother (Annie Sorency Moore) moved in from their farm after the upstairs was finished off as a place for her.
·
Barbara Mitchell and Claude Moore were married
in the living room of this house on a Christmas Sunday afternoon [LuAnn Moore,
a daughter of Barbara and Claude) was married there also] after each had
attended their Sunday morning responsibilities at church. Mother played the
piano for services and Dad taught a Sunday School class. They had been dating for literally several
years, but made no announcement of the wedding plans. They even went to
The Eaton Relationship
· Mother spent a lot of time watching after and helping Mrs. Eaton in the latter's late years. One can appreciate why. Lucy had lived with the Eaton's for some eight to ten years and on the same corner even after moving her daughter in from the farm. Barbara probably thought of their home as her second home.
·
Mr. Eaton owned the bank in
·
In the mid 30's robbing small banks was very
much in vogue. Mr. Eaton was alerted one Saturday morning, while shaving, that
someone was breaking into the bank. He
ran the one block with lather still on his face, according to Mother's telling
of the story, to find the bad guys just leaving. They bopped him on the head
and escaped in a car. For the next half
a day, these guys were chased all over
· When Mrs. Eaton [ah yes, her given name was Fannie, but we always called her Mrs. Eaton] was in her seventies, I accompanied her on long walks. It was usually east of town across the Ninecscah River bridge, north by the Arlington cemetery, where she might stop to look at her husband's grave, on north then west to Highway 14 and south back into town - about three miles.
· When Mrs. Eaton moved from the larger corner house to one next door to the south, Dad helped organize the moving of the furniture, etc. At her death Dad bought the house and rented it out for a while. [I think he did this to protect the value of the neighborhood. The house next door to us to the south had always been a source of concern to our parents. It was a rental a house and seemed attract a variety of people over the years, with no one doing much to the place.]
Barbara - 1915 / 1919
· After our Mother finished high school she must have worked some in her Mother's store. We have pictures of her decorative floats for special day parades, with the Ungles-Mitchell name on the float.
·
She pursued her piano work by traveling by train
to
· We have a picture of Barbara standing in the back of the Ungles-Mitchell buckboard at the loading dock behind the store, preparing to borrow the horse and buggy to drive out to one of her rural student's farm home. She appears to be not more than nineteen or twenty in the picture that I remember, making the year 1915 or 1916.
John Mitchell
· While Barbara was still a little girl, Alexander's brother John Wesley Mitchell sold his adjacent half section of land [they had homesteaded the section together by purchase from the railroad] and moved to Arlington with his wife, Lou (Lucy E. Worrell). They had no children.
·
Their home was in the upper part of
·
Lou survived John by several years. When she
died Mother found on their back porch the cherry table that John had made in
