Elijah Mitcham, Meriwether Co. Georgia
For everyone who is researching the family of Elijah Mitcham and his wife Rebecca of Meriwether County, Georgia: here is the list of their children per his estate papers - Meriwether County Georgia Inventories,Appraisments,Returns, Book E 1858- 1863, pg 8-10 and pg 112- 113. This can be found at the Georgia Department of Archives and History in Drawer 13 Box 13.
If there is not a spouse listed then I have not found documents listing the spouse. The spouses of the daughters with the exception of Nancy were listed by name in the estate papers. Nancy is listed as also deceased with her heirs inheriting her portion of the estate. Mary Ann Mitcham was not listed in the papers as she had died in 1843 with apparently no children. She was listed with her spouses name and as the daughter of Elijah Mitcham in her death announcement in The Southern Recorder, a Georgia Newspaper of the time.
1. Nancy Mitcham married to Eli Arrington
2. William Mitcham married to Mary A. Williams ( this is probably not her maiden name as a Sarah Elizabeth Williams, married to William LaFayette Bryant is listed as the daughter of William Mitcham and Mary A. Williams)
3. Willis A.Mitcham married to Eliza Jane Branham
4. George Washington Mitcham
5. Thomas N. Mitcham married to Nancy Loretta Leslie
