Sounds like you have surname Parker so I would say join the Parker group. Once the DNA comes through you can set your preferences to match the entire data base and see how the numbers fall. You can always post your male results to our Mitchell project, we have several other surnames showing there currently.
DNA is based primaily on male y results, so it doesn't seem you're candidates for Mitchell.
Sideline, the Claiborn name definitely ties into Mitchell, it is an early Essex name that shows in Amelia, Bedford ,,, many counties of Va and ties into my Mitchell line.
Mary Mitchell is tough, difficult.
My personal opinion is that MTDNA is virtually worthless.
Thanks for your interest!
