Columbus Americus Mitchell and Mary E. Billingslea were my Great-Great Grandparents, I made my way to Glenville this year and explored the area but was not able to get in touch with the owners of the plantation house. Did immensely enjoy finding the family plots, though! I would love to come again and see the house if possible.
