A short distance northwest of the Ewings settled David Mitchell in the summer of 1799. He was born in York County, Penn., in 1760; there married Martha Black, a native of the same county, and born in 1764. In 1797, the family remove to Kentucky, and two years later located on the property, now known as the Caldwell farm, in the southern part of Union County, which was but off from Madison, in 1820. David and Martha Mitchell were hte parents of the following children – Moses, born in 1783; Samuel, in 1785; George, in 1787, died in infancy, and the next child, born in 1789, was also named George; David, in 1792; Margaret, in 1794; Martha, in 1797; Jesse, in 1799, born after coming to Big Darby; Elizabeth, in 1803; dixon, in 1806, and Aaron, in 1810. Mrs. Mitchell died in 1823, and he was married to Rebecca Nelson in 1824, who died the same year. In 1825, he married Hannah Caldwell, to whom were born two children, viz.: John C., in 1826, and Alexander R., in 1829. All of these children are dead, except John C., who resides on the old homestead. The first election after the creation of Darby Township, which then embraced all of Madison, and a portion of Union and Clark Counties, was held at the house of David Mitchell, June 21, 1803. Upon the erection of Madison County, Mr. Mitchell was elected Associate Judge, and re-elected in 1817; but when Union County was created, in 1820, his home was embraced therein thus ending his second term on the Common Pleas bench of this county. Judge Mitchell was a very extensive stock dealer and for a time was one of the leading pork-packers of Columbus. He died in 1836, leaving behind a record for intelligence, integrity and enterprise, second to few men of either counties in which he spent the last thirty-seven years of his life.
