Jonathan Mitchell« Back to Previous Page

Previously posted looking for Jonathan Mitchell, born 1802 in Sackets Harbor. No information found for his parents or ancestors. I am curious if adoptions took place that would leave a trail. He may have been adopted by the family of Joseph White. Joseph had two sons, Delos (1788) and Menzo (1793). Jonathan Mitchell also had two sons, Menzo White Mitchell (1826) and Delos Mitchell (1832). Considering Jonathan gave his son Menzo a middle name of "White" it seems there could have been a connection, I just can't find it. If Jonathan was adopted by the White family, that would explain it. Jonathan was born in Sackets Harbor, and the White family lived in Cherry Valley, Otsego County, a distance of about 150 miles today.
