This branch of the Mitchells were a part of the Clan Innes near Strathblane, Scotland. They migrated first to Ulster, Ireland and from there to America. They originally settled in Chester County,
Pennsylvania and later moved into Prince George County, Virginia. Some of the family eventually moved to Thomas County, Georgia and were an important influence on the early development of the county.

1652 - Henry arrived in Henrico County, Virginia about 1652.

· Group 8[ <http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddzw62ms_21j96khncb>] earliest ancestor, Henry Mitchell b. ca. 1634 in Great Britain d. aft. 1705 Henrico Co. VA. His descendants populated much of early Virginia, settling in Prince George, Surry, Sussex, Dinwiddie, and other counties. Some records for these counties have been lost, making it difficult to sort out relationships between similarly named persons. The possible earlier ancestor was Matthew Mitchell b. 1590 Halifax, Yorkshire, England. Further testing shows that Henry Mitchell probably has origins in Yorkshire also, and was probably connected to Matthew Mitchell's extended family, rather than to him directly. This group has many members who need to test beyond 12 or 25 markers to prove their relationship, as they share a very common haplotype.

· ORIGIN OF THE MITCHELL SURNAME:
· [http://www.kilts.co.nz/mitclan.htm

   ·       

· Henry MITCHELL Sr., born about 1634 in Scotland. Date of birth is estimated based on an immigration age of 18. He died before 1718 in VA. The following note on the origin of the family is from the Pebble Hill source and probably comes from family oral history. This branch of the Mitchells was possibly a part of the Clan Innes near Strathblane, Scotland. They migrated first to Ulster, Ireland and from there to America. They originally settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania and later moved into Prince George County, Virginia. Some of the family eventually moved to Thomas County, Georgia and were an important influence on the early development of the county.

· Re: Henry Mitchell, Sr.
·
· I have been independently able to verify that he came to Prince George County, VA in 1652 at about age 18. Several sources say that he left England (perhaps escaping from captivity) after the Scottish Clan Innes, to whom he was a member of the Lowlands sept family Mitchell, lost the Battle of Worcester (1651), attempting to restore Charles II to the English throne in lieu of Oliver Cromwell.
·
· It appears Henry only remained in the Ulster Plantation (as it was known then) very briefly. As the typical journey from the British Isles to North America was about three months, and he arrived in the first quarter of 1652, as reported, then, presumably his stop in Ulster was quite brief. The book, Cavaliers and Pioneers, reproduced a land grant record of March 1652, giving one Richard Thomas some land in payment by the Colony of Virginia for transporting six persons from the Mother Country, including one "Hen. Mitchell."
·
· To respond to your inquiry, Henry's time in Ulster was likely too short to even be considered more than a stopover. That is not to say, however, that he was neither preceded nor followed by kin who chose to stay longer. However, if they, too, were in the losing army, I doubt they stayed within the grasp of Cromwell very long in Ireland.
