Notes for Osborn MULLINS:

In 1820 Osburn was enumerated in Hall County along with other Mullins, including Bud. Osburn was between 16-26, his wife the same, and he had one son and 3 daughters under 10. If this is our same Osborn his age should have been at best 23!

In 1826 (January 7, 1826) Osburn deeded to Daniel Hammond of Hall County for $50 on the waters of Shoal Creek, 125 acres. This was recorded in Hall County, Book B. Page 419, and recorded May 28, 1828.

In 1827 Osburn, living in Howell's District of DeKalb County, GA, received land in the lottery in Muscogee County, GA, number 126 on the draw.

In 1830 Ozburn was enumerated in DeKalb County. Note here that Indian Lands were he lived was eventually to become Cobb County, but in the late 1820's and the 1830 census all residents were listed as residing in DeKalb County.

In 1830 Ausbern Mullens was enumerated in Carroll County. The future Paulding and part of Cobb County residents were enumerated in Carroll County in 1830. (10001-200001) He is between 20-30, she 30-40.

In April, 1835 Osborn Mullins is serving on the Superior Court Grand Jury for Cobb County, GA.

In 1840 Federal Census, pg 254, 846th District of Cobb County, GA: his age is listed as between 30-40, his wife is enumerated as being between 40-50, and male children, 2 between 10-15, 1 5-10 and 1 under 5, no female children. This person could be the one in Hall County in 1820. The census record was 112001-0021001.

 

On the Cobb County, GA, 1850 Federal Census, Baits District, Osborn (age 45) has no wife and 6 children living with him. These could be his children. But also living with him is "Willie" Mullins, male, age 47, giving a birth year of about 1803. Listed on the census are all of the children living with Osborn and Willie. The children's names and their approximate birth years are: Mahaley (1825), Elizabeth (1830), Budd (1831), Reuben (1835), John (1837), and Frances J. (1841). We do know that Budd is his son, because he was mentioned in Osburn's father's will.

I wonder if "Willie" is his wife and that the census taker accidentaly wrote male instead of female.

This would mean that she/he was born about 1802-1803, and had her children beginning at about the age of 14, in order to have 4 children under 10 years old by 1820. Extremely confusing.

In the book "The First Hundred Years - A Short History of Cobb, County, in Georgia, by Sarah Blackwell Gober Temple, pg. 49, in chapter VI, Pioneer Families, lists settlers arriving from late 1832 to 1840: "...J. D. Mullins, Osborn Mullins and Samuel Mullins."

Notes for Mahaley MULLINS:

From Forrest Mullins:

Now this: Cobb Co., GA Bond Book 1833-1855. Page 107. Milelah Mullens, principal with Thomas Mullens as security bonded for $642.85 ¾ on 21 Nov 1846....protect county from all costs of lying in...of sd. child.... Reg 7 Dec 1846.

This Milelah (could it have been Mahalia?) had or was going to have a bastard child. In fact, the next entry down from this is for a bond of the exact same amount for Marrah C. Norton "lately been delivered of bastard..." If this was Bud's Thomas (were there other Thomases there in Cobb County then?) it looks like he was this Milelah's father. Who else would be putting up a security bond for her?

Maybe one of Thomas' son-in-laws was William Eason. Same Bond Book as above, page 129. William Eason, principal with Thomas (X) Mullins and Jacob S. Clonk as securities bonded for $500 on 29 Jan, 1848 as constable for #942 G. M. District before Solomon L. Strickland, J.P. and Jeremiah Wisenan, J.P. Reg 15 Feb, 1848 B. Tolleson, Clk.

Notice that this #942 District is the one in which Thomas was enumerated in Paulding Co., 1860.
