"J. C. MITCHELL, farmer, P. O. Unionville Center. The Mitchell family are largely represented in Union County, the descendants of whom were of Pennsylvania stock. The grand parent, Samuel, with a colony of four families, was the first to found a settlement on the Darby in this county, in 1799, where they raised families and died. Judge David Mitchell, the father of our subject, was born in York County, Penn., April 30, 1761, and was one of four children, who passed a portion of their lives in this county, where he died January 28, 1836. His first wife, Miss [Martha] Black, was born in August 1764, and died September 20, 1823, and were the parents of thirteen children. His second marriage was to Miss Rebecca Nelson, February 26, 1824. She died October 9, 1824. He returned to his native place in Pennsylvania, where he was again married October 6, 1825, to Miss Hannah, daughter of John Caldwell, of York County, Penn. David Mitchell served as Justice of the Peace all his life, and married thirty-two couples in Union County. He was one of the first Associate Judges of the county, and for years an Elder of the Presbyterian Church. His counsel was sought in all public affairs; he was a father to the poor, and in death left an honored and cherished name."
