Individual Details

Mary Mitchell

(10 Mar 1807 - 8 Mar 1885)



Mary married Andrew Henderson, 29 Mar 1827, Belmont Co, OH and lived near Harrisville, Ohio, later moving to Rix's Mills (Guernsey or Muskingum Co) near New Concord, Ohio, where they lived most of their lives. Eight daughters, two sons.

This may or may not be the correct couple. The children do not match up with the 1850 census.
1830 Census. Short Creek, Harrison Co Ohio
Andrew Henderson: 1m and 1f under age 5. 1m age 20-30, 1f age 20-30


There were multiple Andrew Hendersons in these counties in Ohio, some of similar age, but others did not have a wife named Mary. Cemetery records of daughters Catharine & Mary who are in the 1850 census would seem to guarantee this is the right family.
