  • James L. Mitchell and Elizabeth M. Griffin appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1870 in Galveston, Texas. Other members of the household included Mary Josephine Mitchell, Virginia A. Mitchell, Frank Mitchell, Annie J. Mitchell and Sallie C. Mitchell. While daughter (or niece) Jane appears to be absent from the 1870 household, the fact that daughter Ellen is enumerated as "Millie Mitchell" three households away on the same page, with the Mitchell family number noted next to her name, indicates enumerator error in recording the household. And it is possible that Jane is enumerated as so Frank, age 10.
