Elizabeth Mitchell b. 1821 was born in Grayson, TN but lived in Tazewell,
VA when she was married to Martin b. 1817. Her father, Latham/Layton is on
census, I believe. Botetourt County evolved into Russell/Tazewell Counties.
I met a lady at Albuquerque LDS library who had researched Mitchells
extensively and promised she would share with me, but so far, I have not seen
anything. Will forward what I can find to you. She says first cousins
married all the time...That would explain why so many Sanderses married
Mitchells. I have shared my line on genforum.genealogy.com
