John Mitchell

from http://home.comcast.net/~bfquinn83/b635.htm

John MITCHELL died before 1743 in Kittery, ME. He was born in Kittery, ME. Owned property at Braveboat Harbor.

Apparently, John died early, leaving one or more children. His heirs, in 1733, received a double portion of the Braveboat Harbor land, while the old houses, the barn and gridiron went to his heirs and those of his sister, Sarah Pierce. One child, possibly, was a Christopher Mitchell who married, 1 Dec 1715, an Ellinor Larabee of Kittery. Chris bought land in Falmouth in 1726, and was living there with her in 1748 and later. Chris is described as a cordwainer in Falmouth. Other sources show the husband of Ellinor Larabee as Christopher (RIN-2137). However, R-2137 is stated to have had an earlier wife, one Sarah (and his second), but his will designates his surviving wife as Sarah. Thus, the above alternative, if found to be correct, could clarify the confusion re 2137. That is the assumption for this compilation.
