We have received a 17 page genealogy: Descendants of Henry MITCHELL & Nancy CARNALL,
married 1787 Halifax Co. VA. Henry died 1819 Sumner Co. TN. Nancy born 1764 Halifax Co.
VA. Their son John MITCHELL married Frances SCOTT, daughter of John SCOTT, Jr. and
Dicey MOON. Frances is the sister of Samuel SCOTT, who married Milly FOSTER and moved to
Owen Co. IN c1820.
I was interested to note that this MITCHELL family went to Sumner Co. TN, which is also
the place of some of the Dicey (MOON) SCOTT SYKES family.
The names Carnal and White jumped off the page at me. You recall that Milly Foster's
sisters married two sons of Thomas White and Mary Carnal. Do you suppose that Mary Carnal
and Nancy Carnal are sisters? Another Owen Co. IN name is HUNT. Interesting to find the
movements from Halifax Co. VA to Owen Co. IN and to Sumner Co. TN.
The plot thickens!
Also received a 3-page attachment, which is a two-generation chart: Descendants of Henry
Mitchell.
If you are interested in receiving either or both of these as attachments, please email me

Happy hunting! nancy
