So does this mean that Rhoda and Eloisa/Elvira/Elvisa are the children of Mathilda and William Johnson? There is also a sister named Mahala that married Smith Ferrell the son of James and Elizabeth Fields Ferrell. (His brother is my great great grandfather Thos. Benton Ferrell) Mahala and Smith are listed in the Boone County 1850 census a few homes away from Solomon and Sarah Mullins. They have children Talbott and Johnson. Ages 2 and 2 months. Mahala is listed as ALA. This family also fits into a friends family. Through Rhoda's marriage to a Hager. Thanks so much for this information. Is this the same Solomon Mullins mentioned in Brent Kennedy's book on the Melungeons? Robin Bell WV
