This appears to be an error on the part of the informant T F Evatt, who seems to be Malinda's son Thomas, or the medical examiner. Otherwise I have seen no sources referring to John as William. In the 1880 census, there is a 45-year-old William Mullinax next door to John A Mullinax, son of John G. John G is a widower in the home of his son John Augustus. 1880 Federal Census, Anderson County, South Carolina, 3 June, Garvin Township, District 27, page 6, Hse/Fam #48 Mullinax, John W M 28 Farmer SC SC SC Mullinax, Eliza W F 25 Wife Keeping House SC SC SC Mullinax, Cornelia W F 6 Dau At School SC SC SC Mullinax, Etta W M 4 Dau At Home SC SC SC Mullinax, Leland W M 11mos born July Son At Home SC SC SC Mullinax, John W M 61 Father Widowed At Home SC SC SC Mullinax, Mary W F 26 Sister Single Keeping House SC SC SC Mullinax, Rose W F 24 Sister Single Keeping House SC SC SC
The World Family Tree Pedigree 32832 lists this person as John Mullinix, Jr, and his father as John Mullinix, Sr. From previous sources I have the middle initial as S, and the last name spelled as Mullinax. Thus this son is listed here as John S Mullinix (keeping the spelling of the family name in the source genealogy for the son), as is his father. Three other children in this family are listed in the Old Pendleton District Genealogy. Matthew (no birth date given), Mary A (born 1826) and Sarah (born 1834). One Mullinax genealogy lists them as John S Mullinax, but does not cite a source. Most sources lack any middle initial for John and his son. Sarah Mullinix mentioned in correspondence on this question that she has not found any original documents that show any middle initial for either of these.

William G Mullinix/Mullinax was a Methodist Minister. There are other children in this family. I have included just those shown in order to indicate the family ties to other families in their region.
His name appears in various records and sources as Alfred or Alford. It appears that Alford was the original spelling. 1880 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Georgia, 17 June, Salacoa District (906th Civil Dist), District 22, page 24, Hse #208, Family #220 Mullins, Martin W M 35 Farmer GA SC SC Mullins, Thaly A W F 35 Wife Kpng Hse GA SC NC Mullins, Alfred M W M 7 GA GA GA In the 1930 census, an entry that matches Alford Martin appears under the name of Matt A. No child of this family is found named Matt in separate family sources. It appears that this Matt A is the child of Martin Burton Mullins known as Alford Martin. Perhaps the enumerator took the nickname Mart as Matt. 1930 Federal Census, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, 7 April, Asher, District 1, page 5B, Hse #123, Fam #129 Mullins, Matt A Head Rents, value $10 M W 57 Married at age 22 GA GA GA Farmer Mullins, Nannie Wife F W 57 Married at age 22 OK MO MO -- page 6A -- Mullins, Dave Son M W 27 Single OK GA OK Garage Mechanic Mullins, George B Brother M W 44 Widow TX GA GA Farmer Mullins, Van Nephew M W 17 Single OK TX OK Alford Martin's gravestone actually has his name as simply Matt Mullins.

Incidentally, Thalia's full name on her grave is Thalia Anne Mullins. Her middle name is spelled Ann in other sources.

She lists no children from this marriage. -------------------- I found some of the names in your family tree listed in an old Bible in my possession. The front page of the Bible shows that it belongs to Fannie Mullins. The Marriage page in the middle of the Bible shows that Fannie Smith married Ben R Mullins on January 21, 1906. Both are from Lula, Oklahoma. My Grandpa Mullins is Fannie and Ben R Mullins oldest son. His name is George Ross Mullins. The Bible shows that Fannie and Ben had 9 children; three of the names match those on your family tree, Ben Junior "BJ," Sherman and Leon. The Bible also provides birth dates of all children and marriage dates of 6 of the children. I told my dad, David Mullins, about the Bible in my possession and your family tree. -- Michelle Mullins McConnell, Geneanet Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 24 June 2019 -------------------- Dorothy Mullinnix provides the names of the children of Ross Benjamin and Francis Arizona Mullins.

Several genealogies have copied this, but his death record was found in Glendale, Maricopa County, Arizona (borders Phoenix). Florence Lynch has posted his and Fannie's memorials on Find a Grave with the same photo of their grave, reporting the place of death as Glendale, Arizona, where they were buried. Even genealogies which post the photo of the grave report his name as Ross Benjamin, rather than Ben[jamin] Ross as it is on the grave. I found a photo of the stone on the Stephen Evans family tree on Ancestry.com. In addition to the information on Ben and his wife Frances, the gravestone has the name of Polly Ward Mullins, which seems to be a daughter or daughter-in-law. ------------------- Ben Ross Mullins Birth Apr 25, 1877 Death Jan 24, 1943 Parents: Sanford Giffin Mullins (1845 - 1907) Tripan Velma West Mullins (1849 - 1936) Children Ben J Mullins (1919 - 1993) Siblings: Linzey C Mullins (1875 - 1944) Jennie Wise Mullins Stephenson (1876 - 1961) Burial Glendale Memorial Park, Glendale, Maricopa County, Arizona Created by Florence Lynch Nov 29, 2008 -- Find A Grave Memorial #31827170, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=37794231 -------------------
It is likely the full name of this child was Elizabeth. Both Betty and Betsy are nicknames for Elizabeth. Another popular variation of the era was Eliza, both a nickname for Elizabeth and used as a primary name.

Jane would be Green's 2nd wife. It is thought that Elizabeth Caldwell Green, mother of Green's children in these two censuses, died in of before 1868. In the 1880 census, I found Christopher living in the household of his brother Elias and his wife Samantha. Two others brothers are also living in the household. Names are largely illegible, and one brother's name cannot be made out. But ages match closely with children in the previous census. 1880 Federal Census, Bartow County, Georgia, 6 June, Allatoona District 519, page 12D, Hse/Fam #103 Mullen, Elias W M 32 Husband Farm Laborer GA GA GA Cannot write Mullen, Samantha W F 21 Wife Keeping House GA GA GA Cannot read or write Mullen, ?
