More about LEVI MERCER MIZZELL
Born in North Carolina
Levi Mercer Mizell is the grandson of William Mizell (see Generation 5, Person #30, b. 1757) and the son of Levi Mizell (Generation 6, Person #77, b. 1770) and Mary Mercer. He was born in North Carolina on August 20, 1814 and had seven older brothers and sisters.
Moved to Weakley County, Tennessee 1820s
Levi’s father decided to leave North Carolina and move west perhaps sometime in the 1820s. His father died in Weakley County Tennessee about 1830, and apparently had taken his wife and the younger children in the family to settle in there. Levi Mercer Mizzell, being the youngest child in the family certainly made the move with his parents.
Weakley County is along the Kentucky-Tennessee border, 50 miles south of Paducah, Kentucky and 50 miles east of the Mississippi River at Caruthersville, Missouri.
Levi Mercer Mizzell met his wife Nancy Howard in Weakley County, Tennessee and they were married about 1833. They had ten children (4 sons and 6 daughters) born between 1834 and 1855, all born in Weakley County.
Levi’s oldest brother John, born about 1794 in North Carolina, lived there until about 1835 before deciding to move west. John settled with his family in Weakley County Tennessee around 1838. Both he and Levi left many descendants in the western part of Tennessee and in the surrounding region.
