Notes for Thomas MULLINS I:
08/20/1998
There was a Thomas Mullins who came to America as an Indentured servant. Was this our Thomas? Do not know.
The following document exists and as I can best read says:
London the Thirteenth Day of September One Thousand, Seven Hundred and 33
Be it Remembered Memorandum, That Thomas Mullins of Gravesend In the County of Kent - Smith did by Indenture bearing like Date herewith agree to serve Peter Simpson of London - Victuler (sp?) or his Assigns Four Years in South Carolina (his Majesties Plantation In America) and did thereby declare himself to be then of the Age of Nineteen Years, a single Person, and no Covenant , or Contracted Servant to any other Person or Persons. And the said Master did thereby Covenant at his own Cost, to send his said Servant to the said Plantation; and at the like Costs to find him all necessary Cloaths, Meat, Drink, Washing, and Lodging, as other Servants in such Cases are equally provided for, and allowed.
Thomas Mullins (this appeared to be his signature)
Acknowledged 13th September
1733. Before me W Beller (sp?)
Notes on the above: I believe that Smith refers to the fact that Thomas was a Blacksmith, and Peter Simpson was a "victualer or victualler" which is a keeper of an inn or tavern and he was from London. That the word is misspelled here as "Victuler".

From Dr. George Mullins notes:
"Since the indenture document from England lists Thomas' age at 19 in 1733, we can calculate his birth year as 1714. His wife's name is not known, but I suspect she was Anne Clement. Only fragments of old Albemarle Parish records survive, but an entry in 1740 lists the birth of John Mullins, parents Thomas and Anne. The Clements in eastern North Carolina claimed descent from Jeremiah Clement who had come out to Virginia in 1640. He was a stockholder in the old Virginia Company and settled in Surry County which is adjacent to the easternmost tier of modern North Carolina counties."

Granville County was formed from Edgecombe County in 1746. It borders Mecklenburg County, VA.
Franklin County was formed in 1779 from Bute. It was named in honor of Benjamin Franklin and is in the northeastern section of the State. It is bounded by Nash, Wake, Granville, Vance, and Warren counties. Louisburg is the county seat.

From the "Virginia in 1740: A Reconstructed Census" by T.L.C. Genealogy of Miami Beach, FL:
There were 5 Mullins Families in Virginia: George in Westmoreland, John and Richard in Goochland, Thomas in Surry, and William in Middlesex.
From the 1760 census reconstructed as above there were 8 Mullins Families: Charles in Halifax, John in Albemarle, John in Loudoun, John in Westmoreland, Joseph in Prince Edward, Joshua in Princess Anne, Vaul in Lunenburg, and William in Middlesex.

From Abstracts of Granville County (NC) Deeds, 1746-1765, Deed Book C, item 85,86-
"June 1, 1756- Osborn Jeffreys to Thomas Mullins for 12 pds. 200 acres on Cedar Creek where Jeffrey's line crosses, which is part of 360 acres granted in 1752. Wts: Willm. Bledsoe, Jos. Peace."
From Patent Book 11, item # 1947, pg 447, 14 March 1760, Lord Granville gave:
"642 acres in Granville County in the Parish of St. John on both sides of the Wolf pit Branch, joining Jeffereys line OR: /s/ Thomas Mullins Wits: Thos Fox, Phil Hawkins surveyed 12 October 1757 SCC: John Young, Thos Mullins Sherd Haywood D Surveyor"
From Abstracts of Granville County (NC) Deeds, 1746-1765, Deed Book F, item 172,173
"Apr. 23, 1762- Thomas Mullin, backsmith, to Daniel Wyatt (Wyat), planter (name also spelled Mulline as well as Mullim), for 15 pds., 400 acres between Tar River and Cedar Creek on both sides of Wolf Pit Creek granted to Thomas Mullins Mar. 14, 1760 for 642 acres. Wts: Osborn Jeffreys, Edmond Adcock."
From List of Earliest Inhabitants of Granville County, North Carolina, Authentic copy of the muster roll of militia under the command of Colonel William Eaton, as taken at the general muster of said regiment on October 8, 1754, as shown on pages 370 to 380 inclusive, of Volume 22 of the North Carolina State Records:
Captain Osborn Jeffrey's Company --- #26 - Thomas Mullins.

It may be true that John is the son of Thomas and Anne (Malone) MULLINS. However there may be some evidence that the later children could be the children of Thomas and Anne (Clement) MULLINS. There was a gap between children births of about 8 years, which is uncommon at that time.
08/29/1998
Since this Thomas was an Indentured servant in 1733, at the age of 19, he was suppose to be in South Carolina for 4 years - till 1737. He then must have moved to Surry County, Virginia and marry Anne Malone, and then have his children beginning about 1740 or earlier in NC and then have them baptized in Albemarle Parish, VA.
Need to research the history of Albemarle Parish and find out the relationship between VA and NC.
In the Register of Albemarle Parish, Surry and Sussex Counties, 1739-1778:
Suky, daughter of James Gillen and Amy born September 11. Christened 16 Oct 1743. Godparents Thomas Mullins, Hannah Malone and Anne Mullins.
12/10/1999
While researching the Internet I came across a listing of wills from Kent, England. In there was a reference to Edward Mullins who died Feb, 1833, and is recorded in folio #54. Also Edward Mullins was listed as a clerke (sic) in 1714 in the Maidstone Freeman Index, Purchase Index. The purchase index includes the surname, forename and occupation of the purchaser and the year freedom was granted. Usually this cost £15. Freedom by purchase ended in 1771.
The records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) are held at the Public Record Office. They are also available on film at LDS Family History Centres. This was the principal court for the whole of southern England and Wales. Many people from Kent had wills proved at this court.
This needs to be checked out.

From jeffronzo@aol.com
Someone, a while back, circulated some info found in parish in about the same area Thomas was from. There was Christening records for a family, one of which was a Thomas MULLINS. He was Christened on the same day as his sister. The date was about the same time as our Thomas would have been born. Also named was an older brother. An aside. One thing that makes disbelieve that Edward was Thomas' father is that Thomas did not name a child after him, as was the practice back then. Unless he had a child that died young.

Notes for Nathaniel MULLINS:
08/29/1998
From The Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer of 22 July 1840:
"Died - Departed this life on the 8th July 1840, at my residence 36 miles west of Columbus, Ga. on the stage road leading to Montgomery, Alabama, Nathaniel Mullens on his way to Harris County Georgia, from Miss., where he said he had a son living, near Whitesville, by the name of Jeremiah. He said he was 86 years old last Christmas; he also said he had two children who had lived in Miss. but had lately moved to Louisiana. I wrote two letters to his son, Jeremiah, but have received no information from him, he had in his possession a mule. I would be glad his son or some of his relations would come and see about it." It was signed: Joel Sistrunk.
Comments: Harris County is just north of Columbus, Georgia on the Alabama - Georga border. There was a Jeremiah Mullins living in Harris County, GA, listed on the 1830 census, which is his son. He is the only Mullins/Mullens listed in Harris County. There was a Nathaniel Mullen, living in Lawrence County, MS (where Clement Mullins was) on the 1820 census. His and his wife's ages were over 45, no children. His age was given as 86 years old giving him a birth year of 1753 on Christmas Day.

950 Mullanin Jonathan 2 2 6

419 Mullins Jeremiah 2 2
1041 Mullins Charles 2 2 5
For this census the first column is males over 16, followed by males under 16, and then all females. It is possible that Bud is the other male over 16 living with Jeremiah. Since Nathaniel and Jeremiah were living 3 houses apart they are most likely brothers.
01/09/2002
In the 1830 Federal Census, Lawrence County, Mississippi, (pg. 59, line 4) he lists his age as between 70-80, and his wife 60-70. No one else living with them.

1840 Hancock County census list his age as between 80-90, as well as his wife's. He also states on the census form that he is 86 years old, and that he is a military pensioner. He also had 6 slaves. There are no other family members listed. His birth year from the census would be 1754.
01/25/2000
In the 1830 Census of Hancock County, GA, he lists his age as 70-80. Also living with him is an older man age 40-50 with his wife and all female children. One would suspect that it was Harvey Mullins, his son and their family:

On February 4, 1832, Malone appeared in Hancock County, GA claiming Revolutionary War service. He stated that "he enlisted in the army of the United States for 2 and 1/2 years in the year 1776 with Capt. Wm. Brinkley of Halifax County, in the County of Bute and served in the third regiment of the North Carolina line under the following named officers: Daniel under Capt. Wm. Brinkley; Benj. Williamson under Col. William Alston of Halafax, NC inside Bute County NC. He entered service about the last of April as _____ 1776. (He actually entered service 27 April, 1776). Named his discharge from Col. Patten at Gen.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except for the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency of any state."
In his application he states that he is 76 years old. This would give him a birth year of 1756.
On June 24, 1833, he was awarded a pension of $80.00 per year, with an amount of $240 paid.

Notes for Bud MULLINS:
08/27/1998
Bud's first children were all born in South Carolina. Bud moved his family from South Carolina to Georgia between 1807 - 1808, according to the birth records on later census of his children.
There is no census for Georgia in 1810 available.

In the book WHITES AMONG the CHEROKEES, edited by Mary B. Warren, 1987, pg. 299, in a letter from H. Montgomery: Sir: I have received Certificates that the following persons have either moved or are actually Removing within the settled Limits of the State (of Georgia) ..., Bud Mullins, John Mires, ... (Dated 24 July, 1817)
11/30/1998
Bud's Revolutionary War Application was #R7485. Clement's was #R7486. What does this mean?
01/20/2000
In the 1800 Spartanburg County, SC census Bud Mullins (#191) is enumerated next to Lone Mullins (#192) and both of them state that their ages are between 26/45 years. Bud is listed as 30010-11100-00. This would be indicate that there were 3 males under 10, Bud between 26 - 45 years old and one female under 10, one between 10 -16, and one between 16 - 26 (this would be his wife).
Malone Mullins was living in Georgia at this time, so who could this Lone Mullins be?
01/22/200
In Bud's Revolutionary War Application he states that he served under Captain Thomas Gregory, and in the Battalion commanded by Major Robert Mayburn in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Butler. He entered the service of the United States in Chatham County, NC, on a date he cannot remember, but he fought in one battle near the Haw River, in Chatham County.
In the Chatham County, NC, Court Minutes, 1781 - 1785, there is a Thomas Mullins mentioned regarding debt.
In an email sent to me by forrestm@unicomp.net, Forrest states: "The Thomas of Chatham Co., NC who was involved in maintaining roads and found to owe a debt to John Copeland's estate during the years 1783-85 is definitely not the Thomas of Franklin Co., NC, who was the father of Jeremiah, Nathaniel, & Clement later of GA and MS. I don't know who his father was but it might, might I say, be the John of Guilford Co., NC whose wife was named Elizabeth and who sold land to Flower Swift in 1780. At least that John sold 140 acres from a grant he received in 1761 to a Thomas Mullins for 10 pounds (Guilford Co., NC Deed Book 1, 11 May 1772, p. 123). This Thomas of Chatham Co., NC- to be assigned to do road work-is a much younger man and living in the same area as Thomas Gregory (Bud's Militia Captain) puts him where Bud would have been. It is tempting to speculate that, in fact, he might even be Bud."
02/06/2000
We are not sure what year Bud left Chatham County, NC, but there were no Mullins Families living in the Hillsborough District of Chatham County when the 1790 census was taken.
05/04/2001
1840 Cobb County, Georgia Federal Census, 846th District. Bud is listed as being 70-80, with his wife the same age and a male (Thomas) 40-50. Bud should have been about 82, and this is probably a rounding error by Bud or the census taker. They also had two slaves, one male 10-25, and one female 25-50. Also living with Bud in this district are his sons Reuben and Ausborn (Osborn).
