Art, Here are the replies to Jody: I have the McMullin lines straight, as I am one of them, and Birdie did not marry a Toulouse, as she died unmarried at age 22. She was my father's sister. Toulouse m. Bertha Minnie McM. the daughter of Samuel and Josephine, whose maiden name was, Leatha Ann Josephine McMullin,daughter of Samuel Woodie Mc. and Dorothea Ann Edwards. The Lindley name comes from Ireland and is in the ancestry of Mary Woody who m. Samuel McMullin, my ancestor who was the first McM to live in MO. Does that satisfy you? Ellen McMullin MacKenzie Jody, Thomas Lindley McM was the son of Samuel and Mary Woody and the brother of my gr. grandfather John Thompson McMullin. He was born in MO, 4/29/1817. The family left NC about 1903 and came thru TN, and KY on the way west. Samuel had a brother, John who stayed in KY and I have info on that family too. In fact, John's son Robert Eddleman McM m. Sam's daughter Rebecca in MO, and they had 13children. Their son, Samule Pipkin McM m. Leatha Ann Josehpine McM. d. of Samuel Woodie McM and Dorothea Ann Edwards. How's that for complications? Ellen Jody, sorry but Samuel Pipkin McMullin was not the son of Woody. The Woody line was where the wife of Samuel McM. the first settler in MO came from. She was Mary Woody of NC. Lindleys were ancestors of hers and lived in NC, where she was born. As I said before "John's son Robert Eddleman McMullin m. Sam's daughter Rebecca in MO, and they had 13children. They were cousins. Their son, Samule Pipkin McMullin m. Leatha Ann Josehpine McMullin, daughter of Samuel Woodie McMullin and Dorothea Ann Edwards. Ellen Jody, the Birdie Viola McMullin, who was my father's sister and born the same year as your Bertha/Birdie, was the daughter of Richard Watson McMullin, and he was the son of John Thompson McMullin who was born in 1812 to Samuel McMullin and Mary Woody in MO. So the two Birdies did not have Samuel for a father. Ellen

Ellen, I have Samuel Pipkin McMullin as a son of Thomas Lindley McMullin and Eda Butler. I have Samuel Woody McMullin as a son of Robert and Rebecca McMullin. I have Leatha Ann Josephine McMullin as a daughter of Samuel Woody and Dorothy Ann Edwards. In this message you said that Samuel Pipkin was a son of Robert and Rebecca. Which is correct? Thanks Jody
