John Russell m Elizabeth Mitchell

Surname: RUSSELL, CASE, CHAPPELL, MITCHELL
In regards to Elizabeth Mitchell I have recently obtained a clue to her
origins. As you may be aware one of the grandaughters of John and Elizabeth
was Elizabeth (Case ) Chappell. In researching the Case family history, a
researcher (name eludes me at this time but documents are in my files)
interviewed a member of the Case family about 1908. In that interview, it
was stated that Elizabeth Mitchell was of the Mitchell farms Mitchells.
Michell farms were located in the northern parts of Pike County Indiana on
the White Rivers. They had in excess of 650 acres there. I have not had the
opportunity to researched farther on this finding. I do have maps showing
this information.
It is because of this information I am inclined to believe that John's wife actually was Elizabeth Mitchell.

MITCHELL
Dear Mitchell Researchers, As many a researcher I am attempting to put my Elizabeth Mitchell with a Mitchell family. Below I have included Kentucky Mitchells who I believe may have come from Livingston County. Elizabeth was said to have been born in North Carolina and indications are that she was born about 1780 to 1790. She married my 5G Grandfather John Russell born 1784/89 Rockingham North Carolina. While in North Carolina they had four Children: Samuel ca 1808, Sarah 1809, Charles 1810, and William 1812. About 1813 they were in Harrison and Floyd Counties in Indiana. They left Harrison County, Indiana and settled in Pike County Indiana about 1822. Would need to check this last date in my records. They had another seven children in Indiana: Rachel, Elizabeth, John, James, Martha, Thursey, and Minerva. Elizabeth died shortly after the birth of Minerva in 1828. In a historical document from Floyd County, Indiana it was stated that Elizabeth Mitchell was of Mitchell Farm in White River Country. This could be a number of counties in Indiana however I believe they may have been talking about Pike County, Indiana. A daughter in law of Elizabeth's (Sarah Ann Wood) was living with Richardson family in Pike about 1845 as her half sister married George D. Mitchell who owned a rather larger farm on White River. He was also a doctor. Checking the census records (see below) he stated he was born in Kentucky but his parents were from Maryland. I would appreciate any hints, stories, possible associations that may come to mind in this matter. I also know that a G. A. Mitchell was a witness to the will of Charles Russell son of Elizabeth Mitchell and John Russell in 1848. Most everything below is from 1860 Census.
