InformationHe was a witness

Powhatan Mitchell is believed to have fathered at least one child with one of his slaves. Former slave Byrl (Burl) Anderson (1856-1941) was interviewed in 1937 as part of a WPA project and stated:

"My master's name was Powhatan Mitchell and lived at Perch, Virginia, right at the mouth of Peddler River. At that time old master had a Ferry boat and three farms. He was a Whig who owned slaves but was against slavery. He took me on his knee when I was about three and a half years ole an' gave me his birthright. He called up an' ole sow that had thirteen pigs all different colors. He said, "You see them pigs there? They are all of different colors but all have the same mother and are all brothers and sisters." Then he called up his son and said, "This boy here is your brother an' I am the daddy of both. You are to call me papa henceforth. You are to call this brother of yours [not] master but brother. Never call no white man master. For all are brothers and all are equal. Black is good as white. So always keep courage and never back off from a white man. Treat all men alike and call all girls Miss, white and black; but call all men just what they call you. Always be honest and just and upright before all men, and contend for the wealth you breats [deserve, earn?]. When you finish a day's work, get money for it and never take provisions or chattel. If you need provisions or chattel, get the money and go buy them. From that day to this I called that ole master papa and that made me have two papas. I followed his instruction: I have always been honest, just and have contended for what was rightfully mine. I have never feared no man, white nor black."

The 1860 Federal Slave Schedule for Amherst County, Virginia, shows that Powhatan owned 9 slaves, several of them were mulatto including a 3 year old male that could have been Burl Anderson.

There are at least 2 female slaves in the 1850 slave schedule for Powhatan that are the right age to be Mary, Burl's mother.12
