    Probably born at Newtown, home of her mother's family. The next oldest sibling, Donald Grant Mitchell, had both birth and baptism recorded at Wethersfield, her birth was recorded at both locations, but her baptism was not recorded at Wethersfield. She was the only child of this family whose birth was recorded at Newtown.
