Hi Everyone,
I could use some help....<g>.
I am trying to figure out who the parents of James W. Mullins might be.
James was born 25 July 1850 in
Tennessee. On 30 Sept 1875 he married Martha
Isabel Gibbs - d/o
Miles Tenpin
Gibbs and Elizabeth Jane
Meek.
James and Martha had 4 chilren and move to
Texas.
Martha
Isabel Gibbs' brother John
Fletcher Gibbs md a Nancy Rosetta Caroline
Mullins. John and Nancy were married on 21 Aug 1877 and are in the 1880 census of
Hardin Co., Tennessee. Nancy
Mullins' mother was
Fannie Milford. I am not sure who her father was but have been told that he was named
Silas Mullins. However, I am not finding a
Silas Mullins in the census indexes - in
Tennesse that is. Anyway, John
Gibbs and Nancy Rosetta
Mullins also move to
Texas.
For a long time I have thought that Nancy Rosetta
Carolina Mullins and James W. Mullins were brother and sister. However, based on census records
Fannie Milford Mullins indicated that she has only been the mother of 1 child.
That would rather eliminate Fanny as James W.'s mother.
But.. the two families of
Mullins had to know each other to some degree because of the marriages to the two
Gibbs children.
Would any of you have any information on these families. Thanks so much - Emma
