Suzanne -- It's possible that we have a connection -- I just don't know. All I know is that my ansestor (Jane Mullen) was born in 1839, and that she had two sisters that came with her to America, named Mary and Eliza. Their mother came too -- her name was Alice. The girls father's name was Thomas, but he did not come with them to America. I don't know if he wasn't living anymore, or if he sent his family ahead. Most of the written info I have spells her name Mullen, but I have a copy of Henry & Jane Donnelly's marriage license, and her last name is spelled Mullin. If any of this info matches yours, please let me know! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suzanne Schroeder Enlow" <kdesme@essex1.com> To: <ILADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 7:45 PM Subject: Re: [ILADAMS] Mullen / Mullins > I have a Mary Ellen Mullins / Mullen (have seen it spelled both ways) b. > abt. 1845 married a Caleb Embree in Adams Co.
