The following data is from Lillian Overstreet. Her son Barry Overstreet is a participant in the Y-DNA study and his results place Mitchell and Gabriel Overstreet in the Bedford, Va. group. "Mitchell Overstreet and Gabriel Overstreet appeared on the 1782-1787 taxpayers list in Virginia and were taxed for almost 700 acres in King and Queen County. Mitchell appeared in Kentucky before 1790 and was shown living near Boonesborough in Madison County. His wife was Elizabeth, as shown by deeds made by the couple. Elizabeth died in 1819 and on the 28th March 1820 Mitchell married Nancy Webb of Shelby County. Kentucky. Mitchell owned land and lived in the area of Oldham County which is now called Buckner but at that time was known as Fayetteville. Over the years he deeded land to his children and when he died in 1843 his will provided only for his burial expenses and ordered the freedom of his slaves. The date of his birth is uncertain, however, the 1840 census of Kentucky gave his age at 90 to 100 years, so he was at least 93 years old at the time of his death. Issue 7
