Records report that Nancy Ann Hubbard was a full blood Cherokee. This was stated by her grandson Lafayette J Mullins, in his application to the Cherokee Indian Rolls in 1908. Nancy Ann's marriage to John M Mullins (Sr) is recorded in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, in 1785. -- Mike Taylor, http://www.mikeinkaty.com/ThomasMullinsDescendants.pdf Based on this family information reported by Mike Taylor, Lafayette Mullins and his brother George Ross Mullins (my ancestor) were 1/4 Cherokee. -- Orville Boyd Jenkins -------------------- Nancy Anne Hubbard Mullins BIRTH 1765 Virginia, USA DEATH 1835 (aged 69-70) Cherokee County, Georgia, USA BURIAL Non-Cemetery Burial, Specifically: No Burial Site found Little is known of Nancy's family. It is believed she may be daughter of John Hubbard found listed in the 1780 tax lists of Pittsylvania Co. VA there was a John Hubbard living close to a John Mullins. This John Hubbard refused to sign the oath of allegience to the new country. Nancy married John Mullins January 1785 Pittsylvania County, Virginia, by: Rev. Nathaniel Thurman. Known Children are: John, Burton, Mary, and Jesse. After John's death Nancy moved to Cherokee County, Georgia where she is listed in court records. Nancy was found in the 1834 Georgia State Census listed as a "Widow", with 4 persons in the household. John Mullins was living nearby. Another son, Burton, was also living next to John and Nancy.

A court record exists showing Nancy purchasing the above track of land in 1834. This record states Nancy and Burton both reside in Meriwether Co. Georgia. The other half of the above 160 acres was given to Burton. On 01 DEC 1835, John and Burton divided the 160 acres in half, each taking 80 acres. On that same day, John's half was sold at a sherrif's auction to settle debts owed by John to people in Hall County. This 160 acre track was located in present day Cherokee County, according to the lot description. Nancy died shortly after this land was sold. ********************* 2016 DNA matches from three of their children John, Mary & Jesse.

In all the census records Robert is reported as Robert or Robert C. This surely indicates he went by the name Robert. But this was actually his middle name. His full name was Charlie Robert, reported on his death certificate by his daughter Veda Nail. The Texas Death Index thus lists him not as Charles, but Charlie. And it is likely this was his original name, not Charles, as we find in many other cases from this period through the 20th century. Another clue to the proper order of his names is found on the gravestone of his infant son, Oscar. Oscar's epitaph on his grave in Johnson Cemetery, Stonewall County, Texas, reads: "Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Hudson" The death certificate of Charlie Robert Hudson reports that his father was Bill Hudson, which matches the reports in censuses. His mother is reported as Laura Buford, who would be his step mother. We find his father was a widow with Robert and the other children in 1910, then in 1920 is married to the much younger "Lara." Charlie was a Railroad worker, his responsibilities not further specified in the death certificate. His birth date is given there as 15 July 1895. This differs form the date reported on his WWI registration, 13 July 1895. Since he himself would have reported the date on the Draft registration record, I am using that as his date of birth. In the 1910 census, 14-year-old Robert is in the household of his grandparents along with his widowed father Will (William, also known as Bill L) and all his siblings. 1910 Federal Census, Walker County, Texas, 5 May, Justice Precinct 2, District 160, page 5B, Calhoun Ferry Rd, Hse/Fam #90 Hudson, Robert Grandson M W 14 TX TX TX; in home of grandparents James and Elisabeth Hudson Robert's WWI Draft Registration record gives us some information about his origins. Robert Hudson, born 13 Jul 1895 Fort Stockton, Texas, residence Aspermont, Stonewall County, Texas; Occupation Farming; Family: wife and one child [names not given]; Registration 5 June 1917 in Precinct 4, Stonewall County, Texas In 1920, Robert is recorded with his new wife Nora, Elnorah Ethyl Barnett, a month after the birth of their first child in Stonewall County, Texas. They are sharing a household with Nora's invalid father Francis and her older sister Mollie Priscilla, who never married. 1920 Federal Census, Stonewall County, Texas, 7 March, Commissioner's Precinct 4, District 229, Page 2A, Hse/Fam #26 Barnett, Francis M Head Owns M W 79 Widowed NC SC SC Invalid Barnett, Priscilla M Dau F W 43 Single TX NC IL No Occupation Hudson, Robert C Head Rents M W 24 Married TX TX TX [Occupation Unstated] Hudson, Nora E Wife F W 29 Married TX IL NC No Occupation Hudson, Veda M Dau F W 1 month TX TX TX Beauford, Ervin J Head [Status of home/farm not stated] M W 24 Married TX TX TX General Laborer Beauford, Alma C Wife F W 18 Married MO IL KY ("Contucky") No Occupation From the information on his step mother, we can figure that the name Beauford is a spelling for Buford, indicating this Ervin is probably his step brother or cousin. Beauford (pronounced Bow-ford) is likely the original name of Laura's family, which as other French names, came to be changed in Buford (as in beautiful). Also in their household in 1920 is another couple Ervin (Irvin) and Alma C Beauford. These two couples later move together to Douglas, Cochise County, Arizona, and are living next door to each other while both men work in a lime quarry. This move occurred after about 1925, when Charlie Robert's son R B was born in Texas. In 1930, Robert has moved his family to Cochise County, Arizona, near Douglas. Robert and all the neighbors on this census page are working at a lime quarry. Since their son Clint Lamont, age 8 in the 1930 census, was born in Texas, they moved to Arizona in late 1922 or later. 1930 Federal Census, Cochise County, Arizona, 29 April, Precinct 1 (outside Douglas), District 35, Page 3A, Hse #57, Fam #73 Hudson, Robert Head Rents M W 35 Married at age 19 TX TX TX Laborer, Lime Quarry [b abt 1895] Hudson, Nora E Wife F W 38 Married OK OK OK No Occupation [b abt 1892] Hudson, Vida M Dau F W 11 TX TX OK [b abt 1919] Hudson, La Mont Son M W 8 TX TX OK No Occupation [b abt 1922] Hudson, R B Son M W 5 TX TX OK No Occupation [b abt 1925] See more notes for this family in the Notes for Elnorah Ethyl Barnett (Hudson).

1920 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 13 February, Prairie Township, District 15, page 8B, Prairie Road to Crockett's Bluff, Hse/Fam #161 Brown, Archie Head Rents M W 47 IN KY IN Farmer Brown, Gertrude M Wife F W 32 IN IN IN [b abt 1887] Brown [Hudson], Dan Son M W 6 IN IN IN [b abt 1913] The 1930 census reports two children as Gertie's sons by her first mariage. I have not seen the record of that marriage to a Hudson. In the 1920 census, Otto and Daniel were reproted as sons of Archie with the name Brown. In the list of children below, Daisy is the daughter of Daisy V Kemp Brown. The younger children are Gertie's children. Because of this information, I can deduce that Orin is Gertie's son. This would explain the close ages reports in the 1920 census compared with the children of the 1910 census. (See Notes for Archie Brown.) George, at age 10 in 1920, could be Lester, age 4 months in 1910. Since Lester would be 10 years and a few months, he should still be in the home, so I will consider that George and Lester are the same child of Daisy V. 1930 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 11 April, Prairie Township, District 24, page 3B, Hse #50, Fam #52 Stepp, Aaron J Head Owns M W 60 Widowed AL AR AL Farmer Brown, Archie Head Rents M W 57 First married at age 21 AL AL AL Farmer Brown, Gertie Wife F W 41 First married at age 18 IN IN IN Brown, Daisy Dau F W 12 Single AR IN IN Brown, William H Son M W 8 Single AR IN IN Brown, J C Son M W 6 Single AR IN IN Brown, Aaron T Son M W 1yr11mos Single AR IN IN Hudson, Otto Son M W 18 Single IN IN IN Hudson, Daniel Son M W 14 Single IN IN IN

This matches a marriage records of W L Hudson and Minnie L Beauford in 1894. It appears, however, that her father Bill's second wife was also maiden named Beauford, and the name reported in the 1920 census is similar, Lara M, which could be the same names in a different order. But the wife in the 1920 census is a second wife, because Bill is reported as a widower in the 1910 census, living with his parents along with all his children.

John B's census ages make his birth about 1822-1824, but one makes it about 1815. The report of John B's participation in the Seminolian Wars (in about 1836-38) also makes it unlikely he was born much later than about 1820. It makes me think the wrong grave has been referenced, for another John Henry Barnett, instead of the John H Barnett who was the father of John B Barnett who married Minerva Owens. John B's parents seem to be John H Barnett, born in Virginia, and Elizabeth Robertson, born in Georgia, where John B was born. Mary E.
