Isaac Green Mitchell was the sixth of eleven children born to William Mitchell (1777-1859) and his wife Eleanor Thomasson (1781-1860). His paternal grandparents were Thomas Mitchell, a soldier of the Revolution, and his wife Mary Ann Barnett, of Edgefield Disctrict, South Carolina; and, his maternal grandparents were John Thomasson and his wife Eleanor Diamond, Irish immigrants who had settled in Elbert County, Georgia.

Isaac became a circuit riding Methodist minister. He married Mary Ann Dudley (1808-1859) in Elbert Co., Georgia on 15 Jan. 1829. She was a daughter of George W. Dudley and his wife Elizabeth Raines. Isaac and Mary Ann were living in Madison Co., Ga. in 1837. They settled in Marthasville (now Atlanta) shortly after it was founded.

The children of Isaac Green Mitchell and Mary Ann Dudley were: Eliza Jane Mitchell (1830-?, m. George Parker), William Alexander Mitchell (1832-1905, m. Emily White), Wesley DeWitt Mitchell (1833-1882, m. Elizabeth Jane Pritchett), Henry Madison Mitchell (1835-1869, m. Mollie Butler), Russell Crawford Mitchell (1837-1905, m.

"The first to settle in the area that became Rockdale County was William Mitchell (1777-1859). William, the father of Isaac G. Mitchell, moved in 1834 or 1835 to a farm on South River, below Flat Shoals, or Panola, in Henry, now Rockdale County about 12 miles southeast of Decatur, Georgia. He and his son, Isaac G. Mitchell in additon to some other members of the family, are buried in a family cemetery on this farm. Much of the land is now part of Little Mountain Golf Course. There is a subdivision with houses on a street which runs by the cemetery. This cemetery lies in Rockdale County very close to the Henry County line within sight of Panola Mountain. It is on record as the Mitchell Cemetery. There are only three marked graves. The others are in unmarked graves."
