WILLIAM MITCHELL AND HIS DESC END-

ANTS. William Mitchell was born in Scotland, Aug. 30, 1748. He came to this country when about twelve years of age, and first resided in Danbury, Conn., thence removing to Thompson (or Killingly, as it was then called), where he was married to Mary Alton. In 1773 he removed to Bristol with his wife and one child. It is supposed that at Thompson, he learned what was then called the clothier's trade, which business he followed after coming to Bristol, the cloth being woven at different houses, on the hand-looms of the period. The prod- ucts of these looms he fulled and colored, and placed upon the market. Just before the Revolutionary war he made a visit to the old country for the purpose of perfecting his knowledge of coloring, and on returning was accompanied by his brother Thomas. When the war of the Revolution began to assume a threatening aspect, Thomas returned, but William remained, and served for a time in the army, being at the battle of White Plains. He con- tinued to make cloth during the war, and likewise engaged in the manufacture of saltpeter, for use in making powder for the Continental army. In later years other manufacturing interests engaged his attention, and this turn of thought or inclination seems to have been inherited by his children.

George Mitchell, eldest son of William, was born in Bristol, Conn., April 19, 1774, and began his business career as clerk in the store of Thomas Barnes, engaging in mercantile enterprises the greater part of his life. He embarked in other en- terprises, however, among them the manufacture of clocks and saws, and he not only carried on his own business, but it was his custom-being a public- spirited man-to aid and encourage others to enter into business. To this end he would buy properties suitable for manufacturing establishments, and sell them to others, taking in payment their products, and sending out peddlers through the country to dispose of them. Thus he was very influential in building up the industries of the town, and the re- sults of his enterprise and sagacity are still appar- ent. As a man he had the entire confidence of his fellow citizens. He was outspoken in his convic- tions, kind and liberal in the use of the means which he accumulated, whether to the church of his choice or to the cause of education. He was one of the founders and stanch supporters of the Connecti- cut Literary Institution. He took great interest in politics; was closely identified with the movement which substituted the Constitution of 1818 for the British Charter: was several times a member of the General Assembly ; and once, in 1836, a member of the Senate. Fraternally he was a Freemason, and the first Worshipful Master of Franklin Lodge, No. 56, A. F. & A. M., in Bristol, in 1819.

Julius R. Mitchell succeeded to the mercantile business of his father. George Mitchell, being as- sociated part of the time with an elder brother, George H. Mitchell, who was postmaster of the town quite a number of years, as was also the

father. Julius R. Mitchell continued in the mer- cantile business for over fifty years, being the leading merchant of that place. Thoroughly in ear- ntest in whatever he believed to be the right and for the best interests of his native town, which he represented in both branches of the Legislature, a pillar in the church of his choice, he will long be remembered as a worthy son of a worthy sire. His son, George W. Mitchell, has taken up the work which his father laid down.

George H. Mitchell, above referred to, is re- membered as a business man of high character, and also as a musician. He married Lurene Hooker, a descendant of Thomas Hooker. Their eldest son, George H. Mitchell, Jr., was a musician of high rank, and excelled in the composition and execution of church music, to which he devoted much time. He also was engaged in manufacturing. Charles Elliott, another son of George H. Mitchell, is a prominent lawyer in New York City. He was com- missioner of patents under the administration of Harrison. A third son, Moseley Hooker, died in carly manhood, but not before he had left his mark in the place as a merchant.

Thomas Mitchell, second son of William, fol- lowed the quiet life of a farmer. He was a man of fine presence, honest and upright. His son, Henry A., studied law, and was considered an able lawyer, was State's attorney for Hartford county, judge of the Hartford county court, editor of the Hartford Times for a while, and afterward judge of the probate court in Bristol. He was much re- spected by all who knew him. Thomas Mitchell, son of llenry A., has spent his life in Washing- 1011. where he has filled many positions of trust and responsibility.

John Smith Mitchell, another son of William, removed to New Haven, and was engaged prin- cipally in mercantile business. He was also post- master a number of years. His sons, Edward A., John S. and Charles M., all became prominently identified with the manufacturing interests of Con- necticut. Charles L., son of Edward A., repre- sented Connecticut in Congress.

Stephen Mitchell, eighth child of William, was a merchant at Plymouth, Connecticut.

Samuel Augustus Mitchell, youngest son of Willian, turned his attention to literature and pub- lishing, the "British Poets" being one of his pub- lications. His system of school books brought hint prominently before the public, especially his Geography and Atlas, which was the most com- plete work of its day for the study of that branch of common-school education.
