Life

Jonathan Horace Mitchell was born on 28 June 1811 in Autauga County, Alabama, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 On 1 November 1841 he married Martha Ann Robbins, eldest daughter of Solomon Robbins Sr. and Mary Martha Wilson; the tree places the marriage in Benton County, Alabama.2 The federal census of 1850 recorded him in Coosa County, with Martha Ann in his household, and the tree names two children of the marriage, Margaret Demaries (born 1851) and James McGrady (1852).3 Martha Ann died in September 1853, and on 18 February 1854 he married Margarett Freeman.4 He was still in Coosa County at the census of 1860, but by 1870 he had moved to Brazos County, Texas, where the censuses of 1870 and 1880 found him.5 The Texas death record of a Mattie Lane, who died on 20 March 1919, names her parents as J. H. Mitchell and May Freeman.6 Inference She was probably a daughter of his second marriage, although the tree does not list her among his children.6 He died in Brazos County on 8 November 1891 and is buried in the Wixon Cemetery, Wixon Valley, where his Find a Grave memorial names him "Rev Jonathan Horace Mitchell".7 Inference The title suggests that he was a minister, but no record in hand says so or names his church.7
