Leitrim / Re: Mitchell Family of Cloone pre 1926 -- Help

HI Robert.  It appears that the names don’t match as you stated your Owen Mitchell did not marry an H Kiernan and then had the six children listed below.  We do know that my grandfather John Mitchell was born in 1826…have stories of him selling cattle.  It did not appear that my Owen Mitchell if your Owen Mitchell as the names and dates don’t match.  Alos your Owen ran a hotel…mine farmed cattle.   This is what a Posted previously:

”Hi this is John Prindle From the San Francisco USA Area…I was named after my grandfather John Mitchell from Cloone.  He was born June 29, 1888.  He died in `1961, the year before I was born.

He was the only son of William Mitchell born 1826.  I understand he raised cattle in Cloone.  He had at least four sisters who remained in the area.  I was wondering if you could direct me to someone in your area (or post any information that might be helpful) who might know more about his history.   John Mitchell married Rose O'Brien and came to America in 1926.

John Mitchell was the youngest and only son with 6 sisters (Margaret 1880-1938, Briget 1879-1869, Catherine, Alice 1885-1984,Theresa, and Anne).  He sold the family farm in June of 1925 to a cousin, Micheal..son of Patrick Mitchell.....

John's paternal Grandparents were Owen Mitchell and H Kiernan who had six living children.  Patrick, William, John, Bridget ....two other daughters (perhaps one was named Anne from reply below) married Tom Brady and Tom Mckeon

John Mitchell's parents were William Mitchell and Margaret Rourke Mitchell (1847-1849)”
