It is believed that Henry's mother Mary is the daughter of Anderson Lipscomb.

His (first) wife is Nancy Turner Claiborne, daughter of Ousley and Frances Hunter Robertson Claiborne from Camden County, MO. Henry and Nancy were married in Camden County on Sep. 11, 1853. They had 11 children, 2 of whom died in infancy/early childhood.

Henry and Nancy Mitchell are buried in Mitchell Chapel cemetery on land they donated for the church and cemetery, about 4 miles East of Crocker, MO near Bells Creek.
Unfortunately, the church (Methodist) was destroyed in a fire.
