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
