Peter Mitchell, Jr. was the son of the Rev. Peter Mischler, Sr. who lived on the South Fork of the Potomac in Pendleton County, and was the pastor of the Propst Lutheran Church.
Peter Mitchell, Jr. married 1st in Pendleton Co., (W.) VA, on August 27, 1791, Hannah Teter (HG #54 & TD #d.4.), the daughter of Capt. Paul Teter and Rebecca Henkle/Henckel, and the sister of Abraham Teter (HG #52 & TD #d.2.). ; Hannah was born about 1773 and died after 1810 but before April 25, 1820. Soon after their marriage, Peter Mitchell, Jr. and wife, Hannah, evidently removed from Pendleton County to Randolph County, (W.) VA. On August 28, 1794 they made a deed to HG #553 Jacob Teter, also of Randolph County, for 45 pounds, land on the south side of Leading Creek, a branch of the Tygarts Valley River. Peter and Hannah had at least seven (7) children.
The TETER and MITCHELL families came to the New Design settlement in the Northwest Territory in 1797 with the Badgley Colony. Peter Mitchell, Jr. and wife, Hannah Teter Mitchell, with Hannah's brother, Abraham Teter, & his wife, Mary Kittle Teter, their mother, Rebecca, and families & siblings accompanied them.
At an election held at Cahokia in January 1799, among the lists of voters were Abraham Teter, John Teter, and Peter Mitchell.
In 1804 he lived south of Silver Creek. He was a Justice of the Peace and County Commissioner. The 1810 U.S. Census, Illinois Territory, shows five (5) male children, one (1) adult male and two (2) female children, and one (1) adult female. The only children of Peter and Hannah Teter Mitchell who have been identified are:
; Elizabeth Mitchell (HG #5441 & TD #d.4.1.)

Register of Applications in 1807 of "Squatters" on Indian land applying for the land on which they lived, or had made improvements, shows the following:
PETER MITCHELL is listed as "Squatter in Territorial Illinois", No. 138, 31 December 1807. His tract of land was "situate on the East side of Silver Creek about four miles above the mouth adjoining Barbara Shook (HG #545 & TD #d.5., sister of Peter's wife, Hannah) on the South." Permission was granted 31 December 1807 for 320 acres.
"History of St. Clair Co., (Illinois)," Vol. II, 1992, F16, "Badgley Family", by Dianna Hartman:
"At this time the county was inhabited by two tribes of Indians--the Kickapoos and the Pottawattamies. In 1808 there was a treaty with them allowing them to hunt until 1809, at which time they left."
"Indiana Territorial Pioneer Records, 1801-1815," pg. 76, Election Returns, Williamsburg, Township, Randolph County, Indiana Territory:
Peter Mitchel was in Williamsburg Township and is listed in the following Poll: "We do Certify the above is a true statement of the pole held for the Township of Williamsburg on the 13th August 1808." One of the clerks, signing the above certification, was Peter Mitchel.

On March 21, 1811, the old Silver Creek Baptist Church of Lower Silver Creek was organized. Among those listed as Founders were Abraham Teter, Mary Teter, Peter Mitchel, Hannah Mitchel, Rebecca Griffin, and also Barbara (Teter) Shook, Mary (Teter) Radcliff, sisters of Abraham Teter and Hannah Teter Mitchell. Peter Mitchel was the first clerk. The ministers who served as pastors at different times were: Revs. Mr. Ross, Gaskill, Joseph Lemen, James Lemen, Moses Lemon, Harris, Howell, Stilwell, Arnott, Keele, Brown and Huggins.
Rev. H. S. Deppe preached the first sermon in Freeburg, late in the year 1856. He organized a church, 4th of January 1857, called the Freeburg Baptist Church. One of the constituent members was Solomon Teter, son of Abraham Teter & Maria "Mary" Kittle.
In the election of September 17, 1818, to organize and form the State of Illinois, the list of voters included John Teter, Peter Mitchell, George Mitchell (was probably just old enough to vote in this election), Patrick Huggins, and Peter Hill. (Peter Hill, a grandson of the previous mentioned voter, Peter Hill, married Hannah Emaline Mitchell, granddaughter of Peter Mitchell, Jr.& Hannah Teter, and Abraham Teter & Mary Kittle. Hannah Emaline was the daughter of William W. Mitchell and Rebecca Teter).

Volkel, is, for Silver Creek Township, as one of the first justices, Peter Mitchell, for Clinton Hill Township, including Belleville, Abraham Badgley, for Ogle Township, Jacob Ogle and Scott Township, Moses Short. They were "Commissioned March 23, 1819; Executive Record, page 7."

FAYETTEVILLE PRECINCT, The First Land Entries
".....In 1797 Abraham Teter moved from Randolph county, Virginia, to New Design, Monroe county, this state (IL). In 1803 or 1804, in company with Peter Mitchell, Barbara Shook, Isaac Griffen and families he came to this township, followed up the meanderings of Silver creek to section 33, T. 1 S., R. 7 W., where he found a double log cabin occupied by a Mr. Cook. He bought Cook's claim, agreeing to occupy one end of the cabin, and Cook the other, the first winter. Mitchell and Griffin located near by. Across the creek lived a family named Radcliffe. So that Cook and Radcliffe are believed to have been the first settlers. Among the early settlers was a rumor to the effect that a family of three--husband, wife and child had, prior to this, attempted to erect a cabin near the mouth of Silver creek, but, before its completion, had met their deaths. Their decomposed bodies were found by hunters from New Design, and buried underneath a large hickory tree which was often pointed out. This was about 1797, when militia claims were being selected. The names of the parties and all facts are matters of oblivion.
"Mrs. Cook enjoyed the reputation of being bewitched. Neighbors in the vicinity of Turkey Hill (in those days ten, or even fifteen miles was looked upon as being in the neighborhood) verily believed her a witch. Mr. Radcliffe, living on the other side of Silver creek, some two or three miles distant, laid claims to being a witch-master, and by a singular coincidence established his claim firmly in the minds of the people. Once Messrs. Teter and Mitchell had occasion to remain over night with him. At midnight they were aroused by loud laughter, and waking, saw Radcliffe sitting bolt upright in a bed on the floor laughing heartily. Said he, 'Mrs. Cook just came down the chimney, and I have kicked her into the fire.' Imagine Teter's surprise on the following morning at hearing his wife's greeting him with a statement that Mrs. Cook had 'just been in and said she came near burning up last night. Some coals had rolled out of the fireplace and burned her bed partially and awakened her by burning her feet.' Therefore Radcliffe was authority in matters of witchery, and Mrs. Cook was more a witch than ever. The following spring they left the settlement. Isaac Mitchell was born in the fall of 1805, being the first male child born there.
"Solomon Teter was born Feb. 19, 1800, and is the oldest native born person (in 1881) now living in the precinct. He was one of a family of eleven children, ten of whom, five boys and five girls grew to years of maturity. His sister Rebecca was the first female child born. She was born in 1805....."
".....A child of Peter Mitchell was the first death, occurring in 1806. It was buried on section 34. The old burial ground thus set apart was used until some fifty or sixty graves were made, then abandoned.
"Peter Mitchell was the first justice of the peace, and many were the hearts he caused to thrill with happiness as he tied hymeneal knots. As a justice he held high rank, and was for many years retained in that capacity.
"On April 28th, 1813, Patrick Huggins and Elizabeth Mitchell, also William Huggens and Darter Barbary were married by Nathan Arnett, a preacher of the gospel. Thus the list of marriages commenced with a double wedding.
"As early as 1815 John Boucher taught subscription school in the Silver creek settlement. The school-house had an open fire-place which occupied all of one end of the building. On dark days part of the roof was raised for admission of light.
"The early settlers were a devoted people, conscientious and straight-forward in the observance of religious exercises. On the 21st day of March, 1811, they organized the Silver Creek Baptist Church, with seven members (Founders were Abraham Teter, Mary Teter, Peter Mitchel, Hannah Mitchel, Rebecca Griffin, and also Barbara (Teter) Shook, Mary (Teter) Radcliff, sisters of Abraham Teter and Hannah Teter Mitchell). Met from house to house until 1817, when a log church was built....."
"This precinct was represented in the Black Hawk war by Solomon Teter, Aaron Land, Isaac Griffin, John Baker and Myram McMullen....."
Peter Mitchell's brother-in-law, Abraham Teter, died May 3, 1815 and Peter's wife, Hannah, had died before April 25, 1820 when Peter Mitchell, Jr. married 2nd in St. Clair Co., IL, the widow of Abraham Teter, Maria "Mary" Kittle Teter; Peter and Mary had no children.
There was no census for Randolph Co., IL in 1818, therefore Peter Mitchell is not found in an 1818 Illinois State Census; Abraham Teter had died in 1815, and we found the following:
