Thanks for your reply.  Might be that James who witnessed the will is
related to James who moved to Marion County, AL.  Civil War pension papers
of Mary (Mitchell) Glenn, wife of James Glenn says they were married in
Lawrence County, SC. (Laurens misspelled.)  Jimmie

 JOHN & ANNA(NANCY) MITCHELL - Deed found in Book O, p67, North side of Reedy
 
 River,  Laurens County, dated 26 Jan 1838 names children of John
 and Anna (nickname Nancy) Mitchell as:  JAMES, DAVID, PERMEALLY, CATY,
 WILLIAM, NANCY, POLLY, JOHN & ELIZABETH.
 
 Four of the above children moved to Marion County, AL.  They were:
 JAMES m. MELINDA SOUTH of Laurens County--in Marion County, AL, before 1840.
 JOHN m. LUCINDA (last name unknown)--in Marion County by 1860.
 NANCY m. ARTHUR INMAN,--Marion County by 1860.
 MARY (POLLY) m. JAMES GLENN--in Marion County by 1860.
 
 I believe ELIZABETH married either a GEORGE or HENRY NEELY and continued to
 live in Laurens County.
 
 Would like to hear from anyone researching any of these surnames.
