Wiley Mitchell

Son of William Wilbur Mitchell, Jr. and Catherine A. Moulder, Wiley Mitchell was born in Franklin County, Georgia during 1802.

Several genealogists confuse Wiley Mitchell with Wiley Martin Mitchell, Jr. (who lived in a different District, and whose wife was named Mary) because these were two different men of approximately the same age living in Franklin County, GA. at the same time. However, U.S. Census records provide a clear distinction between the two men.

In about 1825, Wiley Mitchell married Martha Patsy Wilkinson (B. 1804 in Virginia, - D. May 20, 1889 in Hart Co., Georgia). Martha was the daughter of Elisha Wilkinson (Born 1762 in Sussex County, Virginia, - Died 1833 in Franklin County, Georgia)1) and Lucy Abernathy (Born Nov. 30, 1773 in VA - Died August 15, 1837 in Gumlog, Franklin, Georgia)2)

Wiley Mitchell and Martha Patsy Wilkinson had the following children:

  1. Burrell (or Burwell) Mitchell (1826 in Franklin Co, GA - 1827 in Franklin Co, GA) Possibly named in honor of Martha Patsy Wilkinson's Great Great Uncle (on her mothers side), Burwell Abernathy.
  2. Elisabeth B. “Elisbes” Mitchell (1829 in GA - )
  3. Nancy B. Mitchell (Abt 1830 in GA - June 8, 1871 in Hart County, GA)3) Named in honor of Martha Patsy Wilkinson's sister (Nancy Wilkinson Carter).
  4. Henry B. Mitchell (May 14, 1832 in Franklin Co. GA - Dec. 4, 1878 in Hart County, GA)4) He married Rhoda E. Walters. (Sept. 29, 1832 - Nov. 20, 1907)5) and had the following children:
    1. William Bryant Mitchell (April 1858 - 1932)6)
    2. Sopha C. Mitchell Farrow (Dec. 4, 1859 - Aug. 31, 1909)7)
    3. Myra Mitchell Belcher (July 15, 1861 - Jan. 2, 1886)8)
    4. Wiley Jackson Mitchell (May 21, 1868 - March 29, 1946)9)
  5. Sophia Mitchell (Dec. 21, 1834 in Franklin, GA - July 20, 1900 in Franklin Co, GA) She married Anderson Randal.
  6. Wiley Thomas Mitchell (Abt. 1837 in Georgia - 1838 in Franklin Co, GA)
  7. Elisha "Eli" W. Mitchell (February 9, 1839 in Georgia - Sept. 11, 1880 in Franklin County, Georgia) Named in honor of his grandfather (Martha Patsy Wilkinson's father), Elisha Wilkinson. Elisha W. Mitchell married Susannah Jane Randal.
  8. Sarah “Sallie” Mitchell (Abt 1841 in Georgia - 1908 in Franklin, Georgia)
  9. Roland (Rabun ???) Mitchell (Abt 1843 in Franklin Co, GA - )

As mentioned above, several genealogists confuse Wiley Mitchell with Wiley Martin Mitchell, Jr. (who lived in District 213 at the time of the 1830 U.S. Census, and whose wife was named Mary) because these were two different men of approximately the same age living in Franklin County, GA. at the same time. However, the 1830 U.S. Census record for Wiley Martin Mitchell, Jr., whose name appears at the bottom of the list… immediately below his Father, Henry Mitchell.
