Paula,
Forrest Mitchel was the only child of John F. and Susie Montgomery Mitchell.
Tommy French married a sister to John &had a large family, also his son,
Thomas French Jr. Married May Blevins, she was a sister of Forest Mitchels
wife, Mamie. They were the daughters of
of Jackson Blevins.... Thomas Jr. also had a rather large family, but was
living mainly in New Mexico in the fifties, and eventually the family no
longer was coming into the Oxford Community from there...I suppose he and
his wife died shortly after that, and the children didn't have that close of
family ties.

Do you have the info on the children of Thomas Sr. and Thomas Jr.? If not I
can probably help you in those areas also.

Bill Blevins
