  A BIT OF HISTORY

  THE MULLINS FAMILY CAME FROM NORTH CAROLINA, EXACT LOCATION HAS NOT BEEN ASCERTAINED YET, BUT, AS OF JULY 10, 1995, THE SEARCH IS STILL ON.
  WHETHER OR NOT LOUIS MULLINS(GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER) WAS THE FIRST BORN COULD NOT BE REMEMBERED, BUT IT IS BELIEVED THAT CATHERINE GIPSON (GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER) WAS THE ELDEST CHILD OF THE GIPSON FAMILY,AND LOUIS WAS THE THIRD SON IN THE MULLINS FAMILY.
  ON THE MULLINS SIDE OF THE HOUSE THERE WERE THREE BOYS AND ONE GIRL; THOMAS KINNON, JOHN, LOUIS, and MARY, (POSSIBLY OTHERS).
  ON THE GIPSON SIDE OF THE HOUSE THERE WAS FOUR GIRLS AND TWO BOYS; CATHERINE, MARY, GENIE, DUCK, BEN, and SAMPSON.(POSSIBLY OTHERS).
  TOM MULLINS (GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER'S BROTHER) MOVED NEAR TO TROY WHEN HE CAME FROM GEORGIA, PROBABLY AS LATE AS 1849, JOEL D. MURPHREE BELIEVES. IF IT WAS IN 1849, HE CAME MUCH LATER THAN LOUIS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT TOM HAD FOUR CHILDREN; DR. JOHN MULLINS,AND THREE GIRLS. ONE OF HIS GIRLS MAY HAVE MARRIED A MURPHREE, AND ONE MARRIED AN ADAMS.
  IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE FIRST MULLINS REUNION WAS HELD JULY 4, 1865.LOUIS MULLINS WAS SO HAPPY OVER THE RETURN OF HIS BOYS AFTER THE WAR, THAT HE CALLED THE FAMILY TOGETHER FOR A CELEBRATION ON JULY 4TH,1865; AGAIN IN 1866, AND 1867. BY 1868, HE HAD PASSED ON -(JUNE 23, 1868) AND SADNESS REPLACED THE JOYFULNESS ON THIS 4TH OF JULY.
  DELLA REMEMBERS A REUNION THAT WAS HELD IN 1885, OR THERE ABOUT, WHICH WAS HELD AT A LITTLE SCHOOL HOUSE IN, OR NEAR, THE DEAN AND JUDAH SETTLEMENT, ABOUT 4 MILES SOUTH OF OZARK.

Generation No. 2

2. LOUIS2 MULLINS (BRIDGET ??1) was born April 27, 1815 in New Bern, CravenCo, NC., and died June 23, 1868 in SOUTH OF OZARK,ALA.. He married CATHERINE GIPSON December 1835 in Monroe Co.,Ga, daughter of WILLIAM GIPSON and ELIZABETH SNELLGROVE.


Notes for LOUIS MULLINS:

There have been some papers written using different ways that the names are spelled. Some spell Louis as LEWIS and the same goes for Catherine's last name you will find it GIPSON and GIBSON. Either way you find it , I am thankful that the papers were written. Some papers that I found were written by Lev DeWitt Mullins, and others by Louis Oben Wells or a son of his. I do not have a signed copy. But I would like to make it known that without their papers a lot of our history would be lost.

DELLA REMEMBERS HEARING HER MOTHER TELL OF THIS INCIDENT:   WHEN THE MULLINS MOVED INTO THE COMMUNITY WHERE THE GIPSON FAMILY LIVED, LOUIS, 19, SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME CATHRINE, 15, AT CHURCH ONE DAY. HE KEPT GAZING AT HER AND KEPT IT UP SO LONG THAT IT BECAME EMBARRASSING, SO SHE MOVED HER SEAT; HE FOLLOWED SUIT AND KEPT UP THE GAZING. ABOUT THAT TIME,THERE WAS AN INTERMISSION; AND THE YOUNG MAN PROMPTLY INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO THE YOUNG LADY. IT SEEMS THAT HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HER AT FIRST SIGHT, BUT SHE HAD TO BE WOOED AND WON. A LITTLE LATER SHE WAS A GUEST IN HIS HOME, AND LOVED HIS SISTER, MARY, BUT DIDN'T LIKE HIM SO WELL AT FIRST BUT FINALLY. YES FINALLY. SO LOUIS MULLINS, 20, MARRIED CATHRINE GIPSON, 16, NEAR CHRISTMAS TIME 1835. TO THIS UNION 11 CHILDREN WERE BORN. THE 10TH CHILD ADELIA (ADELLA) AKA DELLA WAS THE GREAT GRANDMOTHER OF CHRISTINE GRIMES THACKER.
DELLA MARRIED WILLIAM AUGUSTUS GRIMES.
LOUIS MULLINS IS BURIED ON THE OLD FARM LAND. SOME WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM MOVED TO DALEVILLE TO BE WITH CATHRINE, THE CHILDREN ALSO. I THINK GREAT UNCLE LUNSFORD MAY BE THE ONLY ONE WHO MAY KNOW HOW TO GET TO THE GRAVES, AND HE'S NOT IN THE BEST OF HEALTH. A TOMBSTONE WITH THE FOLLOWING INSCRIPTION MARKS HIS GRAVE;   "LUAS MULLINS BORN APRIL 27, 1815, DIED JUNE 23,1868, 'HIS HAPPY SOUL HAS WINGED ITS WAY TO ONE PURE BRIGHT ETERNAL DAY" "(AGE 53 YEARS ,1 MONTH AND 26 DAYS). THE GRAVE WAS ENCLOSED BY A HART PINE PICKET FENCE BELTED TOGETHER WITH PEGS (NO NAILS). THERE WAS A FIRE (WHEN I DON'T KNOW) A WHILE BACK I'M GUESSING, THE FIRE BURNED UP TO THE PICKET AND STOPPED. SOME OF THE PICKETS WERE BLACKENED BUT NOT BURNT.





Update: March 21,1999. I went to Ozark, Alabama on Friday March 19th to meet with (Still living), a 2nd Cousin; Lunsford Grimes (he died Dec 1997) was her Uncle and he had tried to tell her how to get to the graves. We went to the site where she thought it was but it was a little further down the road; Great Uncle Lunsford had told her a couple of blocks down the dirt road and to the left. Well it turns out that there was once another road, and off of that road the graves would have been on the Left. On Friday I drove up and down the road trying to find the site. Well on Sat.the 20th of March I met up with Tom and Lynn Wynn we went back to the search for the graves. The three of us went down the road a little further near a gate, but could not see anything...so we went to the other place that I thought it could be from the directions given. We had pulled over, gotten out of the van, and this truck pulls up; he had enough room to go around me but he didn't. I guess he was wondering why we were there, so I went up to the truck to ask him if he knew anything. After asking about the Mullins, he asked if we were looking for the graves! Lo and Behold, he and his family now own the land where the graves are! He offered to turn around and show us the area where the graves are; so of course we took the offer. We did not go to the grave site but we now know the area. The graves were about a 15 minute walk through overgrown brush, (Person Still Living) now owns the land and he told us that he had seen the graves many times growing up, but he was not sure if they were still there with the tombstones showing. He said that some lumber was cut years ago and a tombstone had been found near the power poles that are now there. (Person Still living) did say he would try and go to the site in the next few days and see what is still there. Now isn't that very nice of him to help in this way?

Notes for CATHERINE GIPSON:
CATHRINE IS BURIED AT DALEVILLE,ALA. A TOMBSTONE WITH THIS INSCRIPTION MARKS HER GRAVE, CATHRINE, WIFE OF LOUIS MULLINS, BORN FEB. 26, 1819, DIED JULY 10, 1888 ,'DYING IS BUT GOING HOME'".
WHEN CATHRINE DIED, JOHN,THE ONLY ONE OF THE 10 CHILDREN LIVING AT OR NEAR THE OLD HOME PLACE, WANTED HER BURIED BY THE SIDE OF HER HUSBAND. BUT SOME OF THE OTHERS WANTED HER BURIED AT DALEVILLE, WHERE SHE HAD LIVED FOR SEVERAL YEARS, EBEN (THE WRITER OF THE REUNION PAPER) REMEMBERS THAT SHE LIVED WITH TAVIE THE LAST YEAR OR TWO OF HER LIFE. BEFORE THAT SHE HAD LIVED WITH KATE AND OTHERS. HE DOES NOT REMEMBER HER LIVING WITH HIS PARENTS, BUT DOES REMEMBER THAT MARY GIPSON, HER SISTER, LIVED WITH THEM, OR WAS LIVING WITH THEM AT THE TIME OF HER DEATH IN 1886. MARY IS BURIED IN NEWTON BY THE SIDE OF HER BROTHER, CHARLIE.
JOHN WAS SO SURE THAT CATHRINE WOULD BE BURIED BY LOUIS THAT AS SOON AS HE HEARD OF HER DEATH, HE WENT TO WORK TO MAKE THE FIELD ROAD READY FOR THE FUNERAL PROCESSION (WAGONS AND BUGGIES) TO PASS OVER.

Notes for EMILY JANE MULLINS:


Source: A Dowling Family of The South
" Emily had much faith in prayer; once when Gordon was away from home, a distant forest fire had threatened to come on down-wind to their small home. She bent to her knees and called on Almighty God! Tradition has lost the amount of time involved in the prayer's answer.. but it was a positive one, in the form of a thunderstorm, for this trusting mother!" It is believed that this is the same fire that I was told that came right up to the pine picket fence that encloses the graves of great, great grandfather Louis Mullins and his two young sons.
