I believe this naming scheme is not coincidental. I also have a few "Charter" Mitchells in my line. I have a C.S.A. Charter Daniel Mitchell in my line. Can we chat? I think this patriarch, Charter Mitchell, could link via DNA to my line? Willing to share info. Please contact me. Thank you.

I'm descended from Moses Davis and have information in my family tree if you want to take a look. The info was provided from handwritten sources compiled by Daisy Dye Davis and her daughter, Mildred Davis Ball. They are both deceased now. However, they were avid family historians who kept copies of news articles, letters, and such. Send me an email if you have any specific requests.
