• Notes

  Reverend James Mitchel was a son of the late Robert Mitchel (born in the north of Ireland) and Mary Enos his wife (the latter of Edinburg, Scotland, and of Welsh descent). Robert Mitchel and family emigrated to America at an early period. James Mitchel, his son, was born at Pequa, Pennsylvania, 20 January 1747. The family removed to and settled in Bedford County, Virginia, at an early date. James Mitchel was licensed a Presbyterian minister in October, 1781. He married Frances, daughter of Reverend David and Mary Blair Rice. He was known in southwest Virginia, as a humble, able, successful preacher from the day he was licensed to the day of his death which occurred 27 February 1841. He was aged ninety-four years and one month. He left many worthy descendants, was tenderly loved and venerated and often addressed and spoken of as "Father Mitchel".
