In looking at various Georgia Censuses the picture becomes very cloudy.

In 1820 there was an Elias Mullins age 26-45 (b. 1775-1794) enumerated in Hall County, GA. He had a wife between 16-26 and 4 children under 10, 3 girls and 1 boy. Also enumerated in Hall County that year was Bud Mullins age 26-45, and Osburn Mullins age 16-26.

In 1830 Elias Mullins was listed on pg. 203 of Campbell County, age 40-50 (b. 1780-1790), and lots of children: 2 boys under 5, 1 between 5-10, 1 boy 10-15, and one 20-30, and 1 girl under 5, 1 5-10, 2 girls 10-15, and one 20-30. Also enumerated in Campbell County that year were Samuel Mullins, his brother, on pg. 201, age 20-30, Bud Mullins, his father, on pg. 208, age 80-90, and Clement Mullins, another brother, on pg. 199, age 30-40.

In the 1860 Census, Hamilton County, Tennessee, District 8, #057 he lists his age as 60, born in SC. All children's names and ages were taken from this census, and all were born in GA. This Elias should be about 66. If this is the Elias, son of Bud, then he must have married again. This cannot be our Elias as all of his prior children are missing.

I believe the these three censuses represent an Elias Mullins that has a problem with his age.
