To the Mitchell family. I would like to connect with you. We are related. Alexander Stephens is my grandmother's brother. Lillie Stephens Mitchell is named after my grandmother. We just had a reunion in FL last week and would have loved to have someone from Uncle Alex's family there to represent. The next reunion will be July 2014 in Sandersville, GA. I have lots of information to share with family.
