Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: Asa Mitchell is printed among the signers for the Municipality of Washington. This is the declaration of 7 November 1835, not the Texas Declaration of Independence of 2 March 1836, which is a different document with a different list of signers. Whether this is our person: Confirmed that this is the tree's Asa Columbus Mitchell (1795-1865): the Handbook of Texas entry for him states that he represented Washington at the Consultation and signed the declaration of 7 November 1835.
