Mifflinburg was once known as Rotestown and Northumberland became Union county. 
I've also seen other records that may or may not be right about the children in this family - some of them have the in-laws marrying different siblings than I have.  However, I'm still looking for proof of the marriages and trying to correct what I have.  If you have sourced information, please share in the comments.

William was a Quaker and therefore, practiced pacifism. According to Quakers in the Military During the American Revolution, many Quakers helped the military. In Philadelphia, these Friends called themselves “Free Quakers”. This caused such a rift that the Free Quakers built their own meeting house. In other areas, few actually enlisted and those that did probably were expelled from the Society. Many Quakers provided supplies, financial aid, or medical assistance.)

"In the 16th ward of this city, on March 9, 1880, BENJAMIN T. MITCHELL, son of Abraham Mitchell and Anney Colpeter (should be Colpetzer), born Jan. 12, 1812, in Lacomin County, Pa. He lived and died a faithful Latter-day Saint. Funeral at Thursday at 2 p.m., at 16th Ward Meeting-house. Friends are invited to attend."

In the same paper was the following:

"SUDDEN DEATH. -- This morning, Brother B. T. Mitchell, of the 16th Ward was the victim of a sudden stroke of death. He had been ailing for some time, but yesterday was out walking and this morning apparently much better. All at once he was seized by an attack of his complaint, supposed to be heart disease, and in 15 minutes was no more. Brother Mitchell was a man, aged 64, and was for a long time an employee on the Temple Block. We are not informed of all the particulars, and only heard of the sad event just previous to going to press, when it was too late to make further inquiries."

Life Sketch, my correction in red: 

Susanna Houston Matlock Mitchell was born in Jackson, Stark County, Ohio (not Pennsylvania). She was the sixth child in a family of seven children. Her parents and other relatives joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a. Mormon Church) soon after it was organized in 1830. Susanna was seven years old when her family left Canton, Ohio to travel to Adams County, Missouri, then to Caldwell County, and from there to Nauvoo, Illinois. Some of these moves were caused by anti-Mormon mobs driving the family from their home. 

In 1846, the Houston family, with thousands of other Saints, found themselves in makeshift homes in Winter Quarters. After all kinds of privations, exposure to cold and inadequate diet, Susanna's parents died.

  

 In 1848, after surviving so many trials and hardships, Susanna's life was made happy with her marriage to an intelligent young lawyer, Gideon Cooper Matlock. On 12 Jun 1849, their son, Alexander Cameron Matlock, was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Susanna's husband was familiar with some of the Indian languages and had often acted as an interpreter. He was sent on a mission by the U. S. Government to an Indian tribe. Weeks lengthened into months and Susanna received no word from him. To support herself and her son, she began to sew for some of the families in the neighborhood. She tried every way possible to get some word about her husband, but communication was slow. Perhaps he was being held by the Indians, but would somehow escape and return home.

  Most of the Saints had left for the West, but Susanna refused to leave her home. She thought that her husband might come and find her gone. Finally, after six long years, she decided to make the journey to Utah and join the other members of her family. She later learned that her husband had died of Smallpox on his journey into the Indian Country. Susanna met Benjamin Thomas Mitchell in 1855 when she was in the emigrating party that he led across the Plains. She was a widow with a six-year-old son. 

Benjamin was returning from a three-year Church mission. Susanna became his seventh wife on 6 Mar 1857. Seven sons were born to this couple. Her husband tried to deal fairly with his wives and children and they were congenial and happy with each other. His family grew so large that he had to have land to till in order to raise food for over fifty people. As a result, he helped settle Kamas, Utah. Here, they farmed and raised cattle and sheep: Benjamin died in Salt Lake City on 9 March 1880 at the age of sixty-four.

  

Susanna, who was ten years younger than her husband, lived for twenty years after he died. Her grandchildren remember the large orchard in front of her house, her pantry shelves that were always stocked with goodies, fruit and pies for those who visited her often and were always made to feel welcome.

Susanna died on 6 May 1900 in Salt Lake City. She left a large posterity that honors her name.

His Obituary
Edward Hunter Mitchell, prominent Davis County resident and stone cutter on the Salt Lake Temple, died at his home in Woods Cross at 12:25 A.M. Monday morning (July 14, 1924) of diabetes at the age of 65 years, after a serious illness of six weeks. He had been ailing for some ten years, and but a week before his death he had been removed to his home from the L.D.S. hospital where for a month he had taken the newly discovered serum treatment for the disease. Only momentary relief was afforded by the treatment and the disease returned in all its acuteness after he left the hospital.

Mr. Mitchell is a son of the late Benjamin T. and Susan Huston Mitchell and was born in Salt Lake City, August 17th, 1859.

Headstone for Edward

As a young man, he learned the stone cutting trade and cut stones for the Salt Lake Temple throughout its erection, for the Catholic Cathedral of Brigham street, for the Deseret News building, the McCune residence, now the building occupied by the L.D.S. school of music and many other public and private buildings in Salt Lake City and vicinity. He also worked at the Working Men's
Co-op for a few years.

In 1892 and for the succeeding seven years, he was engaged in the sheep business as a sheep owner in Toole county. In 1899 he moved to Davis county where he purchased the Frank Grant farm and engaged in farming and dairying which occupation he had continued to pursue until the time of his death.

By nature public-spirited, interested in education, and all things for the betterment of the community, country, and state in which he lived, Mr. Mitchell served a four-year term as school trustee of the West Bountiful School District before the consolidation of the several school districts of the county during which time he superintended the building of the best Bountiful schoolhouse, and again as a member of the Board of Education of the Davis County School District immediately after the consolidation for one term.

Continuously active in a religious way, Mr. Mitchell was counselor to Bishop William Winegar for a number of years and filled various offices in the Latter-Day Saint Church.

As a representative of the Utah Fire Clay Company of Salt Lake City and various other corporations of the intermountain area and as a businessman, he was distinguished by his scrupulous honesty, which trait he stressed and exemplified.

Mr. Mitchell was essentially a home man. He married Mary Emery on the 7th of July 1881 and raised a family of fourteen children, all of whom survive, a really remarkable witness of the parental qualities, the care, and tender family devotion of Brother and Sister Mitchell.

Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Mary Emery Mitchell children, Mrs. Alma Hepworth, Mrs. Andrew Smith, Herbert B., David, Georgia, Lucille, Bernice, Alfreda„ and Ida all of Woods Cross; Edward E. Mitchell of Bountiful; Mrs, Ray Stringham of Holden; Mrs. Alma Taylor, and Mrs. Roy Taylor of Salt Lake City, and Frank H. Mitchell of Ophir and thirty-nine grandchildren.

Lehi's Death Certificate

Lehi Houston Mitchell (twin to Nephi)
Born 7 Sep 1866 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Occupation: Common Labor
Unmarried
Died 7 Jul 1931 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
COD: Asphyxiation by fumigating gas (see the below information. It was later ruled to be suicide). The informant on the death certificate: his younger brother, Walter

Police Blame Gas Death to Suicide Suicide was the verdict of police Wednesday after investigating the death of Lehi Mitchell, 65, whose body was found in a room filled Hued with fumigating gas In the Lincoln house 68 East First South street.

James Hanson night clerk who discovered the body told City Detectives E.R. Apelgren and W.C. Smith that Mitchell had inquired about the lethal power of the gas and later had entered the room despite a warning sign on the door. Mitchell was said to have been worried over financial difficulties.

Police resumed their search for relatives of the dead man after learning that former Sheriff Frank Emery tentatively identified by Patrolman J.Y. Smith as a relative, had no connection with Mitchell or his family. NOTE: while the Sheriff wasn't directly related to Lehi, his sister, Mary, was the Sheriff's sister-in-law. I'm sure the patrolman knew this and therefore, that is what he had based his information on.
