Thomas was the son of John Mitchell and Margaret Porter. John Mitchell was the son of John Mitchell and Mary Boyd. The book states "John Mitchell and Mary Boyd immigrated from Ireland when their two children were very young. They appeared in Lancaster Co., PA in 1721. They lived there until 1737 when they moved over to the Virginia frontier to the area known as Augusta Co., VA. The area in Virginia later became Rockbridge County. In 1744 John, Jr. with his father's money selected a tract of land south of the Borden Grant for his father. The grant was for 400 acres being as stated in the patent, on a Branch of the James River called Broad Spring Branch." (The book states two children which would have been John and William.)
