    "(II) Andrew Mitchell, son of Thomas Mitchell (1), was born about 1662, in Charlestown. He was a brickmaker by trade. He owned the covenant in the Charlestown church December 2, 1688. He married, at Charlestown, November 12, 1686, and his wife was admitted to the church February 23, 170001. He bought land in Charlestown of T. Willis in 1687. For a time he lived at Haverhill, for he was living there in 1701, when he sold, land in Charlestown to D. Jeffreys, fourteen acres. Probably the younger children were born in Haverhill. Children: 1. Man', born July 26, 1687, baptized December 2, 1688. 2. Abigail, born February 13, 1688-9.
    3. Sarah, born November 2, 1690, baptized January 7, 1693-4. 4. Andrew, born January 25i i 693-4; mentioned below.. 5. James, bom January 11, 1695-6. 6. Elizabeth, baptized January 7, 1697-8. 7. Philip, born September 11, 1699, baptized March 9, 1701. 8. Jane, married George Russell (see Worcester deeds). 9. Moses, settled in Wenham; removed to Lunenburg, Massachusetts, where he died December 18, 1779, aged eighty-two; was one of the largest taxpayers of Lunenburg; had negro servants Peter and Abraham, born at Lunenburg, 1746 and 1753; married at Wenham, December 10, 1723, Margaret Knowlton, and had children Elizabeth and Joseph, who-died young at Wenham. 10. Robert, admitted to the church at Lunenburg in 1734; taxed there 1733 to 1746; married May 10, 1744, Alice Harris of Lancaster; estate divided in quarters by will dated December 25, 1740, to wife Alice, brother Moses, brother Andrew, sister Jane Richards."

    [There's much that's questionable here, and some that's in conflict with various vital records. 1) That Thomas Mitchell and Mary Moulton were the parents of Andrew who died 1736 in Havehill may certainly be true; but it appears the connection is based on circumstantial evidence only. Specifics to be presented here soon. That Andrew's son Andrew (Cutter designates this generation III) is the Andrew who settled in Lunenberg is an apparent error. Cutter states that the children of Andrew (3) were born in Lunenberg. An entirely different group of children were born to Andrew Mitchell Jr in Haverhill. during a period extending beyond the time Cutter's Andrew was already in Lunenberg siring children with different names and birthdates. While Cutter's Andrew (3), then, may have had a father Andrew born in Charlestown, it was not the one who married Abigail Atwood in Charlestown and moved to Haverhill, having children in both places. This then also casts grave doubt on the inclusion of Moses and Robert in the same Mitchell/Atwood family.]
