John
Mullins, Revolutionary War Soldier, in
Battle of
Kings Mountain, was one heroic soldier. Guess he wasnt afraid of anyone because he would put his rifle down and butt his oponents in the stomach with his head (according to many of his descendants). This story has come down thru the ages. He was born ca 1746, according to family records, Traveled all over SC and Nc before enlisting in militia. Married Jennie
Bailey and possibly
Mollie Brandon (both early names in SC and NC pioneers). John has many children which included John Jr (Holly
Creek John who settled Clintwood Va area), James (Dr Jim , knew much about herbs), Solomon (Money Making Sol) who is my ancestor, daughters but do not have their names. JOhn moved around a lot living with his children but ended up in Clintwood, Va,
Dickenson CO, where there is a plague on the courthouse to him and a flag flying over his grave. This is a fasinating family - will get back in touch with more info. SIncerel, Peggy
