Margaret Mitchell Question......?

Does anyone know if Margaret Mitchell (author of "Gone with the Wind") had a nephew or a grand-nephew named Leonard Eugene Mitchell- who served in WWII (stationed in Germany in 1949-1950)?

the link here is to a bio of Margaret Mitchell, including her parents names..Eugene Muse Mitchell and Mary Stephens. A nephew named Mitchell would have to be a son of a brother to Eugene, or related through him. Otherwise, would not have the Mitchell surname.
I looked at rootsweb family files, for this couple and did not find any files submitted. But? your guy's middle name is the same as her father's first name, so there could be some fact to your question.
I'll keep seeing what I can dig up. Drop me a note via my profile, in case I do find an answer.
update... I did locate a file that shows Margarets parents/grandparents, and find several brothers to Eugene M Mitchell who are shown in the 1880 census. Your odds just went way up. I CAN'T GET BACK TO YOU VIA YOUR PROFILE, so important for you to get back with me.
