I have found obituaries for James Madison Mitchell, his wife Mary Ann Scott
and their son A (Albert) Scott Mitchell in the *Mooresville Library Data
Base*. They follow:

Sallie I., and Fannie. "Died on the morning of July 8th, in the 76th year
of his age. In 1810, his father and family moved to Clark County, Indiana.
In 1821, he moved to Bartholomew County, near Columbus. In April 1828, he
went to Edinburg and began work as a clerk in a store. In August, his
mother died, and later, in the fall of 1828, he came to Martinsville. He
bought the William A. Washburn and Co. store in 1831-32, which he ran alone
until 1837. On July 18th, 1836, he was married to Mary Scott, daughter of
Vincent and Annie Scott. The marriage took place in Bloomington, where Miss
Scott was attending school. In 1837, he formed a partnership with his
brother, Samuel M. Mitchell, who is now the only surviving member of his
father's family. This partnership continued for 30 years. James M. Mitchell
was the father of 10 children, 4 daughters and 6 sons. Two daughters and a
son died in childhood." "...His father, Giles Mitchell, was in the War of
1812, serving with Capt. Bigger's Rangers, and in 1813, he did picket duty
at Stitt Hill in Morgan County. Giles' father, William Mitchell of
Pennsylvania County, Virginia, was a soldier in the Continental Army during
the Revolution." [A very long article, quoted briefly here.] [From the
Martinsville Republican for July 9, 1885: "During the funeral of J.M.
Mitchell Tuesday afternoon, all the businesses in the city were closed. He
was the oldest business man, and might be called the father of businesses,
in this community."] [The firm of J.M. & S.M. Mitchell was one of the two
most extensive and successful owners and shippers from Morgan County,
sending boats from their porkhouses in Martinsville down to New Orleans in
the mid-1800s, according to Noah J. Major's "Pioneers of Morgan County."]

I am researching J. M. and Mary Ann Mitchell with a son A S Mitchell. They
are listed in the 1850 census in Washington Twp., Morgan Co,. IN.
In the 1880 census they are still there with Ann H S Mitchell (Mother).
I have found a marriage for James Mitchell and Mary Ann Scott in 1836.
I am hoping that the son A S Mitchell is our Great Grandfather Alexander
Scott Mitchell.
I would appreciate any relavant information.
