Gwinnett Co. Family


From: Suzanne Sowell

I would appreciate any help I can get with my Willard line.  They were
on the 1850 and 1850 census there having moved from Union Co. SC.
Here is an outline of his family.  He was supposed to have been a member
of the Gwinnett Guards and died of pneumonia during the war.  I have not
found any records on a reference in a book.  His wife Mary is on the
1860 Mortality schedule.  I have not found the Civil War units that the
sons were in nor can I find his second marriage.  Any help would be
appreciated.

William Dalton Willard was born about 1815 in SC, he married Mary Tucker
and they had the following children:

I also have another Gwinnett Co. line.  Robert M. Mitchell and his
family were there in 1860 and I think he died there although have been
unable to find cemetery records or a will.  His family was from Jasper
Co.  The Dr. Tandy Mitchell there was related to him.  I understand that
at one time a will was present but only the folder was found when a
family researcher was there years ago.   His line is as follows:

Descendants of Robert M. Mitchell

 1   Robert M. Mitchell b: 1791 in Virginia d: 17 November, 1862 in
Georgia
.  +Betsy Garrett b: 02 February, 1792 in North Carolina d: Aft. 1883 in
Georgia m: 29 August, 1814 in Oglethorpe Co., Georgia
........ 2   John F. M. Mitchell b: 1820 in Georgia
............  +Adeline Bowden b: May 1825 in Georgia d: 1914 in San
Augustine Co, Texas m: 02 November, 1843 in Monroe Co, Georgia
........ 2   Thomas J. Mitchell b: Abt. 1823 in Georgia
............  +Emily F. Shrophran b: Abt. 1827 in Georgia  m: 23
November, 1848 in Walton Co., Georgia
........ 2   Mathew A. Mitchell b: Abt. 1825 in Georgia
............  +Rebecca Jane Burgess b: in Georgia  m: 21 December, 1847
in Newton Co., Georgia
........ 2   [1] James Harrison Mitchell b: 28 January, 1827 in Georgia
d: 13 December, 1862 in Greenville, Green Co., Tennessee
............  +Mary Emeline Bowden b: Abt. 1827 in Georgia d: Bef. June
1849 in Monroe Co., Georgia m: 28 November, 1844 in Monroe Co., Georgia
........  *2nd Wife of [1] James Harrison Mitchell:
............  +Mary Pauline Coursey b: 27 August, 1834 in Georgia d: 14
December, 1914 in Crawford Co., Georgia m: 28 June, 1849 in Taylor Co.,
Georgia
........ 2   Jesse Mitchell b: Abt. 1831 in Georgia
............  +Martha Ratliff   m: 31 December, 1848 in Monroe Co.,
Georgia

The big mystery with this line is my direct ancestor, John F.M. Mitchell
seems to disappear.  I find him in Monroe Co. GA on the marriage record
and on the 1850.  I cannot find he or his wife on the 1860 census
anywhere and then in 1870 she is in Gwinnett Co. with their 4 sons near
his parents.  I have not found muster rolls that might identify him in
the war.

Thanks for your help.
