He is 4 and 14 respectively, rather than 3 and 13, which would match birth in May 1847. Martin Burton, along with his father and two uncles, fought for the Union in the Civil War. For more on their role in the Civil War, see the notes for Martin's uncle Green D Mullins and his father George Ross. In 1870, Martin B Mullins is head of his household on a farm, age 23, with wife Haley Ann, and children Carr B, age 3, and Emma J, age 1. Brother Giffin Mullins, at age 25, is a Farm Laborer; Parents' birth places are not reported in this census. 1870 Federal Census, Pickens County, Georgia, 8 July, Truckwheel, PO Jasper, page 65, Hse/Family #506 Mullins, Martin B 23 M W Farmer Born Georgia (abt 1847) Mullins, Thaly Ann 22 F W Kpng Hse Born Georgia (abt 1848) Mullins, Carr B 3 M W Born Georgia (abt 1867) Mullins, Emma J 1 F W Born Georgia (abt 1869) Corbin, William 7 M W Asstng on Farm Born Georgia (abt 1863) Mullins, Giffin 25 M W Farm Laborer Born Georgia (abt 1845) William Corbin, age 7, is also "Assisting on Farm." This is the same as the child reported in other sources with the name Yearby Corbin. It seems likely his full name was William Yearby Corbin. Otherwise it is likely that the unusual name Yearby was his given name and he was called William as a nickname. William Corbin is a son of Thalia, not a Mullins. Name is written as "Corbin, William," as though Corbin is the last name. Other genealogies had taken his last name to be Mullins. Thaly was married at about age 15, just as her husband was going off to fight in the Civil War. He died in action, apparently never seeing his son. They live next door to Sarah West and children, when Augustus is 17. The Wests live in House #505 for this census, and a couple of houses down in house #503 are Sam and Nancy Tatum and family. 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, Carbalis W M 11 Works on Farm Spinal Affect GA GA GA Mullins, Emma J W F 9 Daughter GA GA GA Mullins, Alfred M W M 7 GA GA GA Mullins, Betsy W F 5 Daughter GA GA GA Mullins, Joseph C W M 3 Son GA GA GA Mullins, Elvira W F 10mos July[1879] Daughter GA GA GA Corban [Corbin], Irby W M 16 Step-son Works on Farm GA GA GA 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, 23 July, Township 4, District 120, page 53A, Hse/Fam #960 Mullins, Martin Head W M May 1846 59 Married 35 years GA GA GA Rents Mullins, Ann Wife W F Sep 1846 59 Married 35 years 10 children/2 living GA SC SC Mullins, Joe Son W M Apr 1876 24 GA GA GA Farm Laborer Mullins, George Son W M Feb 1886 14 TX GA GA Farm Laborer Their daughter Betty is next door, married to George Nichols. 1910 Federal Census, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, 19 April, Asher Ward 1, District 194, page 3A, Hse/Fam #44 Mullins, Martin B Head M W 64 Married 43 yrs GA SC NC Own Income Ownership not stated [but see George] Mullins, T Ann Wife F W 63 Married 43 yrs 10 children/7 living GA SC GA Mullins, George B Son M W 25 Married less than a year TX GA GA No Occupation Stated Owns Mullins, Addie Dau-in-law F W 16 Married less than a year OK MO MO Mullins, Josie Granddau F W 8 Single OK GA OK The picture of relationships is not clear here.

One would think that Josie's mother was an earlier wife who has died. But if Josie is George's daughter, this should be his 2nd marriage. Perhaps Addie is the child of a different son. Or perhaps the enumerator meant to report that Josie was 8 months old, not 8 years. Martin is buried next to his wife Thalia Anne in the Wanetta Cemtery, Wanetta, in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.

I note that the source has the same year of birth for Nancy and Margaret. There are some indications these names refer to the same woman, but both names in the sources also have the same middle initial A, indicating a second name.
Different sources enable us to put together the full name of Nancy Elizabeth (Lizzie) Mullins. The oral history from the Green family knew her only as Lizzie. This is an obvious familiar form of Elizabeth, the name reported in the 1880 census. In most censuses she is refered to as Elizabeth.

Georgia Death Index Mack P Mullins Death 24 Mar 1942 Bartow County Age 86 years [est year of birth 1856] White Male The difference in age and thus birth year here originally made me wonder if Mack P Mullins is really the same person as Pearson Mullins, son of Green D Mullins. But the additional information about the form of his name Mc Pierson leads me to think we should, as often necessary, ignore the census ages. The 1870 entry could have been a simple handwritten error, writing only the 9 of 19. I can't account for the J/Jef or the B reported by his brother Brantley.
Piott P Mullins, reported as a daughter in the 1880 census as born in 1878, is not reported in the household of Lafayette and Martha Jane in 1900. She would be 22, and is likely out of the household and married. I have not yet found her in the census (July 2007).
This person was first known to me under the name of Gif Mullins. This was in the family information from Loretta Gregory Gay, which she had collected from our Green family on the Tatum and West sides of our family. The earliest public report I have found of Sanford Giffin Mullins is the 1850 census, where he is listed by the name Sanford. I first found the full name Giffin in the 1870 census, where he is working on the farm of his brother Martin Burton Mullins. Other sources, including some censuses, provided the name Sanford. A couple of genealogies erroneously list him as Griffin. Dorothy Mulinix lists him as Sanford Griffin Mullins. Dorothy probably got the name from the 1860 census, which does report him as Griffin. We know, however, from family and public sources, that is incorrect. She also reports his birth one year later than other sources I have followed, as 24 September 1845. -- http://www.gencircles.com/users/annmull/1/data/4942 Glenda Moore also has the year as 1845. -- http://www.geocities.com/gr8kat1/mullins.html Mike Taylor also has the year as 1845 on Giff's FAG memorial His marriage record reports his birth as 24 September 1844. In the 1850 census, Gif is listed under his first name Sanford, which is spelled Sandford. 1850 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 28 August, Division 15, page 897, Hse #604, Family #656 Geo R Mullins Age 27 M Farmer born SC Elvira M Mullins Age 30 F b NC Mary C Mullins Age 10 F b GA Nancy E Mullins Age 7 F b GA Sandford Mullins Age 5 M b GA Martin Mullins Age 4 M b GA In 1860 Sanford Giffin is in his parents' household in Sharp Top Township of Pickens County, Georgia.

This has the name Sanford Giffin Mullins. The Mullins Genealogy I found online in June 2007 had some more details I incorporated, as shown in the source notes. The anonymous Ancestry World Tree source misspells his name as Griffin, but otherwise it provides excellent detail and a list of all the children. The marriage registry entry of their marriage has Giffin as Giffen. All the family sources spell it Giffin, or have the nickname Gif or Giff. The family moved to Texas before the 1880 census. From the birth years of the children, it appears they moved to Bosque County, Texas, in about 1876. In the 1880 census, we find Sanford Giffin and Tripann, with Gif's parents George Ross and Elvira in the same household. 6 houses away, we find Tripann's father, Benjamin West, living in the household with Tripann's sister Elmina Bradley shown as the head of the home, and one of Elmina's son's John. 1880 Federal Census, Bosque County, Texas, 11 June, District 14, page 30B, Hse #267, Family #274 S G Mullins Age 36 Farmer b.

The Mullins Genealogy had the death place as near Lula, Indian Territory (later Pontotoc County, Oklahoma). This matches other information on the family's location. Other Mullinses are buried in Lula Cemetery. The Mullins Genealogy I found later has a date of 2 Apr 1907. This information comes from within the family in a genealogy by a descendant, including information from a great-grandson of Gif. The Mullins Genealogy also has an exact death date, but it is a year later than the other sources which give a year. The genealogy gives a date of 24 Sep 1845. In the 1870 census, taken in July, Gif's age is 25. If this age is correct, he had to be born in 1844. His marriage license registration also gives his birth year as 1844. With this information I have reported the exact birth date of 24 September, but the year of 1844. Mike Taylor has summarized Giff's family and included a biography on his memorial on Find a Grave. ------------------ Sanford Giffin "Giff" Mullins Birth Sep 24, 1845 Jasper, Pickens County, Georgia, USA Death Apr 2, 1907 Lula, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, USA Family tradition is that Sanford was buried here as per his Granddaughter Rhoda Ardina (Stephenson) Liles who attended the funeral and related this event to me. No marker has ever been found but descendants may have added a civil war memorial to the cemetery in his honor. Sanford was wounded in the Civil War in 1862 and died from the wound 45 years and 7 children later. He was shot in the chest and the wound drained for the rest of his life causing his death from infection after a doctor attended the wound at his home near Lula. Ardina Liles remembered Sanford changing the dressing every day when she was a child. No photograph of Sanford is known to exist.

But she matches by age the person named in her death certificate above as Julia. The M initial in Julia's name is probably for Mullins, her maiden name, so her middle name could have been something like Alvenia. The similar name Luvena is found in the Mullins family line also. But the name in the 1870 census is Averina P, Though the name discrepancy has not been accounted for, it must be the same child, due to the consistency of her age. Rounded off from census age in 1870 and 1880, it would be about 1966, and likely in 1865. Ages were not very specifically tracked in those days. If correctly reported. It would appear that Averina/Alvenia was the daughter of Sarah Ann Bailey. Julia may be the same child, due to the direct match of details other than the name on her death certificate. If they are two different chidlren, then where was Julia in 1870 nad 1880? 1870 Federal Census, Gordon County, Tennessee, 1 August, PO Calhoun, page 112, Hse #837, Fam #793 Mullens, Seborn J 31 M W Cutting Ties for RR $0 Real Estate $100 Personal Estate born GA Cannot write [b abt 1839] Mullens, Margriet A 24 F W Keeping House born GA [b abt 1846] Mullens, Mary F 12 F W At School born GA Cannot read or write [b abt 1858] Mullens, William B 9 M W born GA [b abt 1861] Mullens, George J 7 M W born GA [b abt 1863] Mullens, Averina P 4 F W born GA b (b abt 1866) 1880 Federal Census, Gordon County, Tennessee, 10 June, Calhoun District, Enumeration District 111, page 15-16, Hse #10, Fam #10 Mullins, S J W M 29 Head Married Farmer Has (Had?)

-------------------- 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 --------------------
The first reference I found on Sudie Mullins was in Mike Taylor's extensive database of Mullins and Mullinax. Mike lists her as Sudie Tripp and reports her birth date as abt 1892. Finally in February 2010, I found Sudie's Social Security Death Index entry. The SS Death Index indicates they were in Oregon at the time of Sudie's death. Social Security Death Index Sudie Mullins Born 14 Jul 1892, Died Sep 1973 Last Residence Roseburg, Douglas, Oregon 97470 SSN 526-20-8052 issued Arizona (Before 1951) Oregon Death Index, 1903-98 Certificate 73-15826 Mullins, Sudie B Birth Date Jul 1892 Spouse Willia[m] Death 25 Sep 1973 Douglas County Age 81 The Oregon Death Record provides the middle initial. This matches Sudie's listing in one genealogy listed below, found after I had found the SSDI and Oregon records. The Mullins-Gassaway-Jones tree reports an unnamed Tripp woman married an unnamed Mullins man who matches William Lucky's birth and death dates from other sources. Her birth date of 1892 matches that given by Mike Taylor for Sudie Tripp. This genealogy reports that this Tripp woman died in 1920. But from what I have found out about Sudie B Mullins, this would be the first wife, perhaps the Emma Tripp mentioned in Glenda Moore's work, since Sudie continued living until 1973, after William Lucky died. This Tripp woman, then, appears to be the first wife of William Lucky Mullins, probably named Emma Tripp. -- See http://pages.sbcglobal.net/mike_in_katy/mikeshouse.htm TRIPP Birth c 1892 Death 25 Dec 1920, Marriage 25 Dec 1910 to MULLINS 1873-1917 Pontotoc Co., Oklahoma -- Mullins-Gassaway-Jones, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/433315/person/-2083261915?ssrc=&ftm=1 The Mullins Family Tree by Gilda reports full details about a Sudie B Mullins, the daughter of James Christopher Mullins and Dora Lea Taylor. This genealogy also provides further details about our William Lucky Mullins, including the place of death. This Sudie Mullins has the maiden name of Mullins, not Tripp. This marriage date matches the date Mike Taylor reports for William's marriage to the wife Mike reports as Sudie Tripp. Mike also reports a Sudie B Mullins, but has no details and no parents. Sudie Bell Mullins Birth 14 July 1892 in Pontotoc Co., Oklahoma Death 25 September 1973 in Roseburg, Douglas Co., Oregon Spouse William Lucky Mullins Birth 15 March 1873 in Pickens County, Georgia Death 22 Nov 1917 in Cuervo, Guadalupe Co., New Mexico Parents James Christopher Mullins 1840-1935, Dora Lea Taylor 1851-1924 -- Mullins Family Tree by Gilda, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/430559/person/-2083597868?ssrc=&ftm=1 Gilda reports no marriage date for William and Sudie. The Tripp maiden name for Sudie in some family trees appears to be a confusion with Emma Tripp, his first wife. The detail in this genealogy seems to make sense of the disparate and scattered details in other sources and fill in the gaps consistently. Thus it appears that Emma Tripp was William's first wife, after which he married Sudie Bell Mullins. Sudie appears in the census with her parents in 1910, at age 17. 1910 Federal Census, Coal County, Oklahoma, 13 May, Bryan Township, District 74, page 6B-7A, Hse #120, Fam #125 Mullins, James C Head M W 70 Married 41 years TN AL TN Laborer, Own Farm Rents -- page 7A -- Mullins, Dora Wife F W 56 Married 41 years 8 children, 5 living TX GA MS Mullins, Sudie F W 17 OK TN TX Laborer, Home Farm
