• James is apparently a misreading for Thomas; all the other documents give Thomas M Brasher as William's other son.

• • Note that among those of the "first part" is Marinda Brasher; but those sigining included S C Chadwick (supposed to be Silas F) and M A (Marinda A) Chadwick. Silas Chadwick married Marinda Brasher, 5 March 1855, at home of R G Stewart (her guardian), Crittenden County, Kentucky.

Mitchell moved to Missouri and lived there 1858-1865. After the Civil War, he lost his land to taxes and other troubles and moved back to Kentucky.
