        John Mullins I - North Carolina

        John MULLINS I and his wife Elizabeth MULLINS came to North Carolina from Goochland, Virginia.  John (b: 1742) is  the son of Patrick MULLINS.  Their descendants are discussed later in the “Going to Georgia” section.  In research, only two potential children of John I’s marriage have surfaced:

  1. Swift Flower MULLINS    b: Abt. 1775 in North Carolina

  2. John MULLINS III

      John MULLINS I and his wife Elizabeth had the following deed transactions in North Carolina:

  1. In 1761, John MULLINS received grant for 422 acres on Lick Fork of Hogan’s Creek from Lord Granville in Orange County1, on December 6, 1761. 

  2. In 1772, John MULLINS sells 140 acres in Guilford County to Thomas MULLINS on May 11 for £10.  (This Thomas MULLINS is believed to be the Reverend, and son of Patrick MULLINS I.)

  3. In 1779, John 

  4. MULLINS sells 92 acres in Guilford County on December 13 for £800.  His wife’s name is mentioned - Elizabeth.  (Cannot believe this price is correct.)

  5. In 1780, John MULLINS sells 54 acres to Flower Swift on February 4 for £10.  This was in Guilford County, NC.  (This deed obviously reflects a close relative due to the amount.)

Lick Fork of Hogans Creek is approximately 10 miles south east from the Dan River in then Guilford County, now Rockingham County.  One must be careful in researching Hogans Creek in northern North Carolina.  There are 2 of them, one in Caswell County and one in Rockingham County to the west.  The one that has Lick Fork is the Hogans Creek coming out of Caswell County and beginning at the border of Rockingham County, and continuing almost into the center of the county seat – Reidsville.  It is here that the Reverend Thomas MULLINS settled on land sold to him by John MULLINS I.  The distance from Patrick MULLINS homestead at the confluence of Blackies Branch and the Dan River, and Lick Fork of Hogans Creek is about 20 straight miles.   

After selling his land, John MULLINS I, and his family leave Guilford County, North Carolina about 1785 and move to Franklin County, Georgia, on the Tugaloo River.  If Bud is related to this John MULLINS I, there is no indication at this time.
