(My information has not been personally researched by me. I have found everything in books or by family legend, and am open to any corrections.) It seems like anyone native to Wise or Dickenson Counties has some Mullins in his background. Mine starts with Revolutionary "Buttin'" John (b. 1750-60) in Burke Co. NC. His second wife was Jane "Jennie" Bailey, by whom all his children were born except the first, possibly, who may have been born by Mollie Brandon. She died of smallpox. John Sr. eventually lived in Clintwood with his son, John Jr. and his wife, Ollie Cox Mullins. My Mullins line comes on down through John Mullins Jr.> dau. Ollie Mullins who married Eli Vanover of Clintwood> Dora Vanover who married Sam Meade> Rena Meade who married Willie Dotson> me, Brenda Salyers. Grandma Dora (b.1875) lived with our family until her death in 1969. ¥Does anyone know when John Sr. came to Clintwood and if Jennie lived there with him? ¥Does anyone know of John Sr.'s parentage and ancestors for sure? Thanks for any help you may be able to offer. Brenda Salyers
