- Note on Find a Grave:
Double stone with Caroline R. Reedy.
∼
He was born in Seven Mile Ford, Smyth county, VA and spent most of his life in Grayson county, VA where he was married 4 times and fathered at least 6 children.
He is the son of David Reedy and Sarah Ann James and a brother to Ezekial J, Frances A, William S and Nancy Reedy. His father was a farmer.
Mitchell married Caroline Reedy and they are the parents of James Fielding, John W, Mary A, Minnie V, Glen Millard, and Gene Otto Reedy.
He next married Sarah Emeline Pugh, a woman who'd had two children who'd died in childhood. His marriages to Sarah and later to Virginia "Jennie" Pugh and Alice Virginia Peak apparently produced no children. Alice was 28 years younger than Mitchell and came to the marriage with a 17 year old son who would die 5 years later.
The 1930 census shows that Mitchell was by then living with his son, Gene Otto, in Wilson Creek, Grayson county, VA, while his wife Alice lived in nearby Troutdale.
Mitchell served in Company A of the VA 23rd Battalion for the Confederacy. He applied for benefits in 1902.
