SOLOMON MITCHELL of Hawkins County



    Solomon Mitchell applied for revolutionary pension while living in Hawkins

County, Tenn., Sept. 7, 1833. He was the son of Robert and Jane or Tanee

Mitchell and was born in Abbeville District, S. C., in 1759. He served in the

South Carolina troops. He moved to Hawkins County, Tenn. and died there Jan. 27,

1839. He married in Abbeville District, S. C. in May 1787, Nancy, who survived

him and applied for widow's pension while residing in Hawkins County, July 9,

1845 when she was 83 years old, therefore born in 1762. Their children were:

Stephen, who died young; Rebecca; Lewis; Greenberry; Jesse; Polly or Mary;

Robert; Morris; Nancy; Richard; Susannah or Susan; and Elizabeth.



      Note:-Solomon Mitchell's will in Hawkins County, Tenn. names a son John,

who does not appear in the above list. It is possible that he died before, the

widow applied for pension. William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. X. pages 112, 113,

says that Solomon Mitchell served in Capt. Thomas Hall's company, Lieut. Col.

Francis Marion's South Carolina regiment. As Solomon and Nancy Mitchell named

sons, Lewis and Morris it is possible that her maiden name was one of these.
