A general lightweight summary of where they came from and when, which eventually boiled down into an “Irish” Mitchell woman:

The Mitchells were Irish and emigrated in the 1700s to Virginia.
The Carharts were Cornish and emigrated in the 1600s to New Jersey.
The Dysarts were Irish and emigrated in the 1700s to North Carolina.
The Everetts were I don’t know what, probably English, and were in Connecticut in the 1700s.
The Pettits were whatever and were here in the late 1700s in Delaware. They were probably Anglo-Norman French.
The Butts were whatever and were in Maryland in the late 1700s I guess. I read Butts may be Cornish.
The Craigs were Irish and emigrated in the early 1700s to Pennsylvania.
The Bromwells were Irish. Looking at the history of the name, perhaps they were from England.
The Brooks were, I’m guessing English and I don’t know when they got here but were in South Carolina in the late 1700s.
The Dennys were Irish and were over to Pennsylvanis by the early 1700s.
The Cowdens were Irish and in Pennsylvania by the early 1700s.
The Pattons were already in Pennsylvania in the early 1700s. I guess this is a Scottish name.
The Pyles were English and were over here in the 1600s to Pennsylvania.
The Blacks were Dutch and were in South Carolina by the mid 1700s at least.
The Baldwins were English and were here in the 1600s in Pennsylvania.
The Stewarts were here in the 1700s at least. Perhaps they were Scottish.
The Lords were whatever and emigrated in 1635. I guess they may have been Anglo-Saxon British.
The Phillips were whatever and were already here in the mid 1600s in Massachusetts. I read Phillips is a Welsh name.

    Your Cowden letter from 1905 provided leads that substantially add to my Nichols family research. These families were also related to the Dysart and Alexander families. I can’t thank you enough for posting such relevant information. Leads provided from dead end searches are what propels research forward and often bring down those brick walls we are all confronted with. You have a great website!
    Thank you for all you do.
