      James D. Mitchell (b. circa ? - d. 1837)
      MSA SC 5496-051263
      Property Owner, Queen Anne's County, Maryland
      Biography:

      The son of Francis J. Mitchell, James Davidson Mitchell lived in Charles County with his wife, Elizabeth Ann. In 1828, he and his sister Sarah E. Mitchell inherited part of the farm Cedar Dale, near Queenstown. The farm had once belonged to Colonel Richard Tilghman. One of James's brothers, George, had lived at Cedar Dale until moving away in 1811. James D. Mitchell does not appear as a property owner in census records for Queen Anne's County, since the 1830 census for that county no longer exists, and he had died before the 1840 census. However, his brother Henry S. Mitchell was living in the county in 1840, even appearing on J.G. Stong's map of District 5 in 1866, likely on the same property that James D. Mitchell had once owned
