Benjamin W. Mitchell was the son of Etheldred Mitchell. Etheldred is more of a mystery than Benjamin; it is believed he was born about 1775. He died about 1834 in Greene Co., NC. He married before 1807.
According to the article in The Goodspeed Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Southern Arkansas, Etheldred was born in Greene County, NC, where he spent all of his life, and he was a farmer and a lawyer. His wife’s name is not given in the Goodspeed article, but is believed to be Nancy, she was also born in Greene Co., NC about 1785, died in Greene Co., and was of Irish descent. Part of the problem with finding information is that the Greene County Court House burned, taking a huge number of records with it. Hopefully there will be other descendants who will know something about Etheldred.
