Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery?read=362 Surname: Cook, Mullins, Cathey, Brandon, Bailey ------------------------- I understand my ancestor, John Mullins Sr first came to what is now Avery County,NC in ca 1790. He was married to Jennie Bailey and then possibly Molly Brandon. His children were John Jr, Solomon (my ancestor), James, and daughters not found by name (but on census). The whole family left NC for Ky and Virginia around 1810 . The only one "Mullins" left in Avery COunty of NC was John Jr's daughter Kizzie Mullins who married Lewis Cook of that area in NC in ca1814. Is anyone related to the descendants of Kizzie and Lewis Cook? Information exchanged. Peggy in Kentucky

I am related to Lewis Cook's sister Mary Ann "Polly" Cook who married Thomas M. Sparks. I would love to share information. I have information on Lewis and Kezziah Mullins. Kezziah's father was John Mullins and her mother was Ollie Cox. They had 13 children who all had families. I have no connection to the Mullins family to my knowledge except through Lewis Cook. Lewis' daughter Anna married James Madison Connelly. Their daughter Martha married into my McBee family. She married Albert McBee, Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Danny A. McBee. I would love to know more about the Cook heritage.
