MITCHELL FAMILY.
Persons of the name of Mitchell, were early in New England. According to Farmer, Experience Mitchell came over in the third ship, named the Ann, in 1623. He was one of the company of Pil- grims in Holland, one of the first proprietors of Plymouth, and died in 1689, aged nearly ninety. He had four sons, Thomas, JJacob, John and Edward.
According to Mather's Magnalia, Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, (son of Matthew.) was born at Halifax, in Yorkshire, England, in 1624: came to America at the age of eleven years, in the same ship with Richard Mather; arrived at Charlestown, Mass., where they were sick the first winter. He went to Concord in the latter part of the winter, next summer to Saybrook, Conn., the following spring to Wethersfield, and at the close of that year to Stamford. He gradua- ted at Harvard College in 1647, preached his first sermon at Hart- ford, June 22, 1649, and began to occupy the pulpit at Cambridge, Aug. 12, 1649, which he continued to fill for eighteen years. He was, according to this authority, the third minister at this place.
By Winslow's Journal, we are informed that the Mitchells came over in the ship James, of Bristol.
According to information in the possession of Minot Mitchell, Esq., of White Plains, N. Y., the Mitchells were originally from Scotland, but removed to Halifax, in Yorkshire, where they resided for three generations. Matthew1 Mitchell, who is the ancestor of the family in this country, was born in 1590. He was a dissenter and is repre- sented to have been not only a very pious man, but a man of very considerable fortune. The dissenters from the Church of England, being constantly persecuted and annoyed in their religious worship, he with many others of his persuasion, determined to leave England; and on the twenty-third of May, 1635, they set sail from Bristol, and arrived at Boston, Aug. 17, the same year. On the 15th, two days

before they landed, there arose an exceedingly severe storm, which carried away their sails, cables and anchors, and they narrowly es- caped being shipwrecked on the coast. He and his family spent the winter at Charlestown, and removed to Concord in the spring, where he lost considerable property by fire. The next summer he removed to Saybrook, Conn., and the next spring to Wethersfield. Here he lost still more of his property. Toward the close of that year, his son-in-law was murdered by the Pequot Indians, who also destroyed his cattle and injured his estate, as history informs us, to the extent of several hundred pounds. His situation finally became so uncom- fortable there, that he changed his residence once more, and located himself at Stamford, which was then in the colony of New Haven. Here his house, barn and goods were consumed by fire, and at length, after suffering for some time with the gravel or stone in the bladder, he died, in 1645, aged 55. He had two sons, 2. Rev. Jonathan,2 (men- tioned above,) and 3. David .?
