Descendants of John MULLINS I
Generation No. 1
1. John3 MULLINS I (Patrick2, Matthew1) was born Abt. 1735 in St. James Northam Parish, Goochland, Virginia, and died Bet. 1807 - 1808 in Abbeville District, South Carolina. He married Elizabeth (Mullins). She died in Probably Georgia. Notes for John MULLINS I: 03/07/2000 From Forrest Mullins I looked for Mullins living in the area around Chatham Co. Aside from the Thomas Mullins mentioned earlier I could find none in Chatham Co. But in Guilford Co., just west of Chatham and which had also been cut out of Orange Co., just like Chatham, I found John Mullins who had been granted 422 ac, No. 817, grant #84, issued 6 Dec, 1761 (before the formation of Guilford or Chatham) Orange Co., NC, Book 14, P. 454. On Lick Fork of Hogan's Creek. This John Mullins I find to be very interesting. Guilford Co., NC Deed Book 2, p. 47, 4 Feb, 1780 he sold 54 acres (part of his original 422 ac grant) to Flower Swift (make a note of this name) for ten pounds. I don't know what the going rate for land was in those days, but this sounds like a sweetheart of a deal--the kind you would make to family members. Another land deal 13 Dec, 1779, he sells 92 acres for 800 pounds. No doubt this was his house with improved land but compared to 54 acres for 10 pounds this seems a big difference. In this Dec, 1779 sale John names his wife, Elizabeth. In 1800, in Franklin Co., GA a John Mullins and a widow, Elizabeth Mullins lived. They had been there since at least 1793. John Mullins sold land to Flower Swift Mullins in 1800, Franklin Co, GA. Other than a sworn affidavit, there is no clearer information that these are the same people who came from Guilford Co., NC--at least to my mind. More than likely, the John who sold Flower Swift Mullins the land in GA was a son of John of Guilford Co., NC who had sold land to Flower Swift there. 03/31/2000 In a message dated 3/14/2000 10:34:16 AM Eastern Standard Time, willpaz@earthlink.net writes: I am interested in early Franklin County, as my ancestors moved there in about 1786.

It is the Granville Grant, Orange Co, Grant # 84, 422 ac, 6 Dec, 1761. Book 14, p. 454. This later became Rockingham County, NC. 1772 John Mullins sells 140 acres in Guilford County to Thomas Mullins on May 11 for £10. 1779 John Mullins sells 92 acres in Guilford County on December 13 for £800.
