Further information about James J Mullins:

            James Mullins is listed on page 407 or 467 in “A History of Mississippi” as a prominent man in Copiah Co.

            In 1838 James Mullins had six letters in the Gallatin Post Office which were considered dead letters.

            James J Mullins appears in the 1840 Copiah Co Census.   In contrast to the sons of Clement Mullins, he had no slaves in 1840.

            November 1980 issue of “Family Trails” published by Genealogical Association of Mississippi on page 65 lists the McIntosh Bible records showing that Maranda J McIntosh and her twin Amanda A were born April 4, 1849. Marriage records show John H McIntosh married Missouri A Smith.  

Further information about Dougherty D Mullins:

His wife, Maranda J McIntosh, was born April 4, 1849 in Mississippi. She was the daughter of John H McIntosh and Missouri A Smith. By 1880 their children were Sallie J born c1870, Micah born c1877 and Hope born c1879. This family is listed in the 1880 Census as household #197.

Maranda’s father had 19 children by three wives. He first married Missouri A Smith at the R Smith home on December 31, 1845. He later married Asenith A McIntosh at Gallatin on March 18, 1863. He then married Mary C Cottingham at the F M Cottingham home on June 23, 1874.  His first child was born in 1846 and the last in 1883. Maranda and her twin, Amanda A, were the second and third children of this large family.

Further information about Harry J Mullins:

            His wife, Martha E Potter, was born c 1849 in Mississippi. By 1880 their children were James L born c1874, Mary born c1877 and William H born c1879. This family is listed in the 1880 Census as household #22.

Further information about Marion H Mullins:

            His wife, Mary Emma Pevey, was born c1858 in Mississippi and died c1930.   In 1880 their children were Ona born c1876, Ettis born c1877 and Ada born c1879.   The 1910 Census adds Maud and Stewart. This family is listed in the 1880 Censes as household 313 and in the 1910 Census in District 59, Sheet 13B.

            I have not been able to place this James Mullins. Perhaps he was Clement’s nephew (a son of Nathaniel?) or a cousin.

            Married                        1) February 3, 1820, 2) March 6, 1828

            Death                           1856

            Information about William Norvell Mullins is from the Seth Granberry Bible, whose contents are listed in the Cemetery and Bible Records of the Miss. Gen. Society.                                   

Other possible children were Elias Mullins, a son or a nephew and Tempie Mullins who married William Orr

            A Selena Mullins married Robert Woods April 16, 1829 in Lawrence Co, Mississippi. Her bondsman was Hardy Mullins. The oldest daughter of Hardy Mullins, son of Clement Mullins, was named Selena Mullins. She was born c1810. This is probably the Selena Mullins who married Robert Woods in 1829. However it is possible that Selena was an unrecorded daughter of Clement who came to Mississippi as a single girl after 1820 and that the bondsman was the same Hardy Mullins but in this case her brother rather than her father.  

Clement Mullins was born around 1750 in Granville Co, North Carolina (later renamed Bute Co and still later Franklin Co). On November 13, 1772 the Bute County Court ordered him and Thomas Mullins to supply slave labor to build a road near their farm on Cedar Creek (Bute Co NC Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, 1767-1779). In 1776 he serviced for five weeks in Captain Goodloe’s Company, Colonel M. Long’s Regiment along with his brother Malone. He later hired a substitute to serve in his place for three months and then later served as a substitute for Wells Millner for three months. He was discharged at Salisbury, North Carolina. He applied for a pension based on his Revolutionary War service but his request was denied because he did not serve the minimum required term of six months (Revolutionary War pension application R7486).   In 1783 he sold 100 acres in Franklin Co, North Carolina (Abstracts of Franklin Co, NC Deeds Book 4, #573, page 38) and went to Georgia with his brother Malone.

            In Washington Co, Georgia, in 1787, Clement received a grant of 350 acres (Index to The Headwright and Bounty Grants of Georgia, 1756-1909) and in 1789, 1794, 1796 and 1804 he paid taxes in either Greene or Hancock Counties. He sold 115 acres in 1794, 115 acres in 1797 and 121 acres in 1804 along Rocky Creek, a tributary of the Oconee River. In the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery he received two draws for land in Baldwin County, Georgia and in 1811 he paid taxes on two 101.25 acre parcels on Glady Creek in Jones County, Georgia. That year he sold one of the two parcels.

            Around 1818 he traveled to Mississippi Territory with his brother Nathaniel and their wives. By then he was nearly sixty years old. In 1820 he was living in Lawrence Co, Mississippi and appears in the 1820 Census as Clemont Mullen. His sons James and Hardy were still living in Georgia in Jones County. By 1821 he was living in Copiah County with his  youngest son William Norvell Mullins, the Baptist preacher. He died there in February 1834. His sons James and Hardy both moved to Copiah County shortly after 1820 with their large families. By 1830 Hardy had a farm in neighboring Lawrence County. James and William N both lived in Copiah County and raised large families within a short distance of each other. James died in 1849 and William N in 1856.

            Two or three of Nathaniel’s sons followed him to Mississippi but by 1840 most or all had left the state. One son, Jeremiah, returned to Georgia and two moved to Louisiana.   Nathaniel died in Alabama in 1840 while traveling to Georgia to check on his son, Jeremiah, who had not answered letters from his father for some time. Nathaniel never arrived at his son’s place. He became sick and took shelter with a family living near the road. He died there. The owner of the house where he died advertised in the local newspaper in an attempt to locate the family of the dead man and in order to return the dead man’s mule to its rightful owner.

            The 1850 Federal Census of Copiah County, Mississippi, enumerated a Mullins family that I have not been able to place. This man could have been a son of Clement or of Nathaniel. He was born in Georgia in c1802 and his wife in Alabama in c1819. They are enumerated on page 273b in the neighborhood of the other Mullins families and a few farms away from that of Julius C Mullins, a son of Hardy Mullins. The following is the information given in the 1850 Census:

            James G Mullins age 48 born in Georgia. This man was a mechanic and owned property worth $400.

            Catharine Mullins age 31 born in Alabama his wife

5          Name                           Nathaniel Mullins

            Death                           c 1840 in Alabama

Thomas Mullins was from the town of Gravesend on the Thames River in England. In September 1733, when he was 19 years old, he went to London and signed on with a man named Peter Simpson who supplied labor to the American colonies. He agreed to work four years in return for passage to the Carolinas in addition to food and supplies. He was an “indentured servant”. In 1733 he could read and write and had a set of blacksmithing tools. He was a blacksmith and kept his tools all his life.

By 1740 he had moved to Sussex Co, Virginia and married Annie Malone. Her dad owned a farm there of some 1,000 acres, much of it swampland. In 1741 Thomas Junior was born followed by John in 1743. Annie’s father died in 1745 and left Annie a cow, a calf and a brass kettle in his will. Her brother and a nephew inherited the farm.

In 1747 Thomas and Annie moved to what is now Franklin County (then called Granville Co) in North Carolina. There he was enrolled in the militia in 1754 and owned property by 1755. In 1756 he bought 200 acres for twelve pounds (₤12 British money) and in 1760 he was granted 642 acres next to his existing farm on Cedar Creek. In 1762 he sold 400 acres of land near where the town of Louisburg, North Carolina, now is for fifteen pounds. In 1764 he was ordered by the Court to provide hands to build a road near his farm. This probably meant he had slaves by then. By 1771 he owned two male Negro slaves and over a thousand acres of land.

Thomas died in the early 1770s leaving his farm to his sons Clement and Thomas Junior.
