Segar Mitchell ca 1785 – ca 1839 | his parents
& 1808 Mary Hollomon ca 1790 – 1831 | her parents
& 1831 Martha Priscilla? Mitchell 1818 – | her parents
of Hertford County NC
This is a working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!
based on the research of James Hollomon
Mary Hollomon who married Segar Mitchell in 1808 was the daughter of Aaron Hollomon and his wife Nancy?
May term 1832 [Hertford Co Ct] Deed from Aaron Holloman and wife to Segar and Mary Mitchell is exhibited in open court and it appearing to the Court that the said deed was duly acknowledged in open Court by the said Aaron Holloman and wife at February Term 1809 & the feme Covert was also duly examined & duly registered in the Registers Office of this county and that the whole record thereof has been destroyed by fire. It is therefore Ordered by the Court that the said deed be again registered by the Register of this County.

e-mail from Judy Martin –
I am attaching a document about the Mitchells. I found this info while cleaning out my file cabinet. Vernon Haywood made a trip to Bertie County NC in the 1980″s to research family records.
It is hard to read.
It lists James H. Mitchell sr, dob 1836, married to Elizabeth E. White on
Dec. 24, 1860, died November 24, 1880 and buried on November 25, 1880 in
the White family graveyard in Bertie County.
His parents are Segar Mitchell, dob 1800, father and Priscelia, dob
1818, mother. It does not give Priscelia’s maiden name.
John E. Mitchell and his wife Lettie Jones (Sylvester Mitchell’s brother
and sister-in-law) are buried in Parklawn cemetery in Hampton. George W.
Mitchell and his wife Daisy Lee Stone, (Sylvester Mitchell”s brother and
sister-in-law) are buried in Oakland cemetery in Newport News.
Call me if you have any trouble reading the family group record and I’ll
read you what is written there. Judy
e-mail from Vivian 8 Oct
Hi Sally! Wanted to get back to you and see if you were able to piece
any of this together. Elizabeth E. White was listed as the daughter of
Jacob White whom I believe is a connection to the Garrett-White house in
Bertie? Also, James H. Mitchell listed as the father of Sylvester H.
Mitchell. James’s father is listed as Segar Mitchell. Is this the same
Segar Mitchell on your website? The documented family group sheet that
we have shows this Segar married to a “Priscelia”, but I’m not finding
Priscelia documented on your website with Segar? James H. Mitchell was
mentioned as living with Jesse Garrett in 1860.
Dec 26
I think I have been able to put some of this together now. Nannie (Nancy) Louise Mitchell (1868-1944) married Jessie Richard Garrett (listed on your site). This Nannie Mitchell Garrett was a young sister of my GGrandfather Sylvester Hotie Mitchell. Their father was James H. Mitchell who married Elizabeth E. White. Elizabeth grew-up in the Garrett white house. Jessie Richard Garrett’s wife was my G-aunt.
“T. Williams was a member of the Board of Commissioners from Harrellsville from 1894 to 1896. He was born Feb, 1851, his father being Rev. B. B. Williams, a Baptist devine, and his wife Elizabeth, the daughter of _Harrell. Mr. Williams has followed the mercentile pursuits since manhood and is an energetic business man. In Oct, 1892, he married Addie C,. the daughter of P. H. McDade and wife, who was a Miss O’Donal. He is a Democrat in politics. Rev. Williams was the son of Capt. Jack Williams and wife, Mary Ward, of Bertie, and grandson of Francis Williams and his wife, who was the daughter of Benj. Brown, a Welchman. Francis was the son of Jno. Williams, Esq., born March 1, 1776, and died March 30, 1816. The ex-commissioner has a very promising nephew, now in the University at Chapel Hill studying medicine. The Commissioner B. F. Williams, from 1900 to 1904, is the younger brother of J. T. Williams. He and his brother Tom have been engagd in the mercantile business for a number of years under the firm name of Williams Bros. Frank is a great wit and enjoys a good joke. He is an old bachelor, a successful merchant, and a favorite in his county. Their father, Rev. Williams, was born Aug 28, 1824, and died Jan 17, 1900. John, the brother of the Divine, was born May 4, 1799, and died April, 1875.” The Colonial and State Political History of Hertford County, N.C. By Benjamin Brodie Winborne
