    Notes 
    • He and others "ware on the 20th Embodied into a Church consisting of Seventeen members," thus founding the First Baptist Church of Freeport.

      Sept. 10, 1808, Robert Mitchell was sent as one of the "Messengers to the Association this present year." "At a Stated Conference meeting of the Baptist Church in Freeport, April 13, 1816, it was Voted that Brother Robert Mitchell have licence to preach when & wherever the Lord in his providence Shall call him." He was ordained Nov. 19, 1817; among the elders and delegates present as the "Council for Ordination" were Elder Joseph Roberts, from the church in Pejepscot, and Elder Samuel Mariner, from Harpswell. On Oct. 22, 1820, Elder Robert Mitchell and his wife were dismissed "to join the church in [District] No. 8." They, however, did not remain long, since, on April 4, 1824, they "brought forward a Dismission from the church in No. 8, and wished to join with us, and were received accordingly by a unanimous vote."

      In 1839, Elder Mitchell published a pamphlet, with the following title: "Journal and Sermons of Elder Robert Mitchell, of Freeport, Maine, Ordained as an Evangelist November, 1817, Freeport." It was "12mo, pages unknown;" an incomplete copy has forty-six pages. In 1861, he published another book of seventy-two pages, "12mo," entitled: "Three Short Sermons, and Journal of Robert Mitchell, of Freeport, Ordained as an evangelist, November, 1817."

      He lived on "the Yarmouth Road" in Freeport; his house is now (1906) occupied by the Marr family. At times he was deranged, like his brother John, yet he was greatly beloved and respected.
