This Eliza Jane Riggs married Robert Mitchell (vs. John Mitchell) per their 1847 marriage license in Lincoln county Missouri. Eliza was born in Lincoln county Missouri after her father, who was born in Campbell county Kentucky (in the portion that is now Kenton county) and he moved to Lincoln county Missouri many years before Eliza was born. Many records of the military duties of Jonathan in Missouri are documented. After Robert Mitchell died (shortly after the birth of their daughter Sarah Jane "Jennie"), Eliza merried in 1853 (per marriage record) in Pike county Missouri to Thomas Melvin. They soon moved to Greene county Ohio before their daughter Kate Alice (or Alice Kate) was born there in 1856.

So add sources to the profiles and edit the name of John John Mitchell to Robert, the profile is nothing but a shell.

Then add a second husband named Thomas Melvin.

Finally add each daughter making sure they connect to the correct father, the best way to make sure this happens is to add each child from the father's profile not Eliza's.

I uploaded three sources for ELiza and/or Robert. I was unable to find how to change Mr. Mitchell's first name from "John John" to "Robert". I also was unable to add their daughter Sarah Jane "Jennie" Mitchell (see is on the 1850 census that was uploaded and I have her on other source documents too) -- it kept generically saying there was an error.
