Possible Mitchell
E-mail from our family historian 3/2005, stating case for John's lineage as son of Conrad Michael; however, she is still looking for definitive proof, so this a probable, but still tentative, position for John Mickle/Michael/Mitchell:
"... John Michael who came to America with his father Conrad Michael also father of Christain Michael. reference of Conrad's immigration to PA  Conrad Michael arrived in Philadelphia in 1741 , with a family of 6 aboard the ship "St Mark" from Rotterdam , Capt William Wilson , shipmaster.  Note; Conrad Michael is found in North Carolina tax lists in 1755, 1759 (note: Conrad may have been an Absentee owner and never actually livedin North Carolina but in Pennsylvania).   Family Lore says Conrad deeded his land in North Carolina to Christian and returned to Europe.  Note;  Early NC Deed records-6:380 Apr 15, 1767 John Howard & w/Mary to John Mitchell (Mickle), merchant for 40L, 103 AC Grants Crk adj.
