The two Isaac Mitchells who were on jurymen lists in Old 96 during the Revolution were possibly related, but not father and son. The one living "Above 96 Court House" is the subject hereof. His father may have been Daniel Mitchell of Edgefield, for whose estate Isaac and Mary Mitchell were administrators in Abbeville, 1785. Isaac Mitchell left will in Abbeville, 1789, naming his wife Mary executrix {maiden name unknown; probably second wife), and Nathan Sims, Robert Pollard, Richard Pollard, and son Isaac (minor) executors. Daughters Ursula, Catherine, Mary, and Sarah (married Whitlow), "other sons," and "all my children" are mentioned in will. Existing estate papers name other children William, Daniel, James, John (got family Bible), Martha (married Hill), and possibly Elisha. Old Isaac's widow Mary married John Satterwhite. Some of the Mitchell family moved to Laurens, and Mary Satterwhite left will in Laurens, 1824.
Son Isaac Mitchell married Sally Shackelford, daughter of Richard Shackelford, prominent Baptist preacher. Isaac and Sally had several children before Mitchells and Shackelfords moved from Laurens to Madison County, Alabama, 1812/14. Sally (and Richard Shackelford) died in Alabama, but Isaac Mitchell died near Memphis, Tennessee, 1856/57. Most of his children were dead, and his will provides few clues to his MANY descendants; but apparently one son was Daniel Mitchell, born in S.C.
In Alabama, 1820, Daniel Mitchell married Ruth Malot Young, daughter of William Young and Catherine (Mason). Daniel, and his oldest son William who had descendants through three children, both died before Isaac.

(Excerpt of Melvin Little's book sent to me by Tom Powell with the following statements)
"...." Melvin credits this paragraph to a book, "Cantrell-Rice-Mackie" by Lucylle Rice Davis of Waynesville, Missouri written about 1960;
"Melvin identifies their (Levi & Mary's) kids as James, Joel, John, Mary and Netty, and goes on to say there may have been more."
