| Notes |
- They lived at the Isles of Shoals. On Oct. 3, 1683, "William Mitchell of ye Isles of Shoales in New England ffisherman" purchased of Peter Lewis and Grace, his wife, land upon Smuttynose Island, "with two dwellings on it . . . fflacke Room and lying Room," etc. This property, he and his wife Honor conveyed Oct. 1, 1702, to Philip Carpenter. It is described in the deed to Carpenter(*) as "all the land with two dwelling houses on it next Adjoyning to ye house of Thomas Snell with ye garden belonging to ye Two houses And the well adjoyning wth the fflack Room and lying Room, thereunto belonging . . . and the halfe of a stage Room the other halfe being Walter Mathews and one third of a Moreing wth Wm Sealy and one End of the Moreing fast to Mallago [Island] and the other fast to Smuttynose Sweeping a great Rock on that sd Island." After this sale he probably removed from the Isles of Shoals, and lived for a time in Kittery on land which he possessed adjoining that of his brother Richard and "William Pepperrells Land."
The father of William Mitchell's second wife, Elizabeth, was John Tenney, of Kittery. John Tenney owned a farm at Black Point, in Scarborough, which he doubtless had abandoned when the Indians broke up one of the earlier settlements. This land he conveyed by deed, March 28, 1716, "in Consideration of ye Natural Affection and fatherly love which I have & bare unto my well beloved Son William Mitchell and Daughter Eliza Mitchell wife of sd Wm Mitchell of Kittery aforesd . . . [and] Confirm unto ye sd William Mitchell and Elizabeth his wife & her heirs Lawfully begotten . . . One Messuage or Tract of Land & marsh Scittuate lying and being in Black point Joyning upon a river Called Spurwink where ye sd John Tinney formerly possessed & Lived on." The deed was signed by "John Tinney," and witnessed by "Tho:ffry . . . Dorrothy Pepperrell . . . Margery Pepperrell."
On Jan. 20, 1723-24, his aged mother, then a widow, conveyed to "my Loving son William Mitchell of Scarborough . . . Husbandman . . . all the Messuage and Tract of Land Meadow and Marsh: where I now Dwell in ye town of Kittery aforesd to Geather with all the houses Barnes orchards Priveledges and appurtenances to the Same belonging . . .

"Exsept the Tow acres of Land which Shee formerly Gave Samll Johnson."

William Mitchell owned a very comfortable estate, but did not live long to enjoy it. While working in his field at Scarborough, he was killed by the Indians, on April 18, 1724.
His widow, Elizabeth, joined the First Church of Scarborough in 1733. Before Nov. 14, 1734, she had become the wife of Benjamin Haskins, a farmer, of Scarborough; she was living in 1748, at Scarborough.
