Additional Comments:
John Alonzo Mitchell was the son of John Dabbs Mitchell and 
Martha Ann Finley. They were a family of harness makers who went 
from GA to AL to MS and back making and fixing harnesses as they 
went. This makes tracking them difficult.  John was nice enough 
to settle in Carrollton and stay there. I'd love to be in contact 
with anyone working on this line.

"Janary 4, 1879 [issue of Carroll County Times]-Quite a neat and two-horse 
substantial buggy was driven out of Carrollton one day last week that was 
made entirely here. The woodwork was executed by Messrs. Trussell & Sims. 
The painting was done by Mr. William Beall and the harness work were [sic] 
made by Mr. J. A. Mitchell.  The job was quite a creditable one to all of 
the above parties."
