Notes for Mary MULLINAX


Some sources report Mary "Polly," which seems to indicate Polly was a nickname. 
This combination of Mary and Polly was very popular in the 1800s.  In some
cases it seems to be a nickname for a woman named Mary.  In others it seems to
be a second name for the person named Mary Polly, with the person in the
census sometimes as Mary and sometimes as Polly.

Different genealogies report Mary Polly's birth in North or South Carolina. 
It appears the family lived near the border.  Dorothy Mullinnix reports birth
more specifically as in Lincoln County, North Carolina.

Mary's gravestone shows her name simply as Polly Moss.  Notice that on the
stone, her husband's name is spelled Merrimon, while on family and public
sources I have seen, his name is spelled Merriman, the common spelling of the
family name.

Gravestone of Mary (Polly) Mullinax Moss
"Polly Moss  Wife of Merrimon Moss  Born July 2, 1821  Died March 5, 1889"

The source where I found this gravestone photo did not report what cemetery
Mary is buried in!  An anonymous genealogy in the early collection by
Genealogy.com, World Family Tree, reports the place of burial as Antioch Bapti
Cemetery, Jasper, Pickens County, Georgia.  An entry in Find a Grave reports
the location of Antioch Cemtery as Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia.

I note that her daughter's name in this memorial is Rovanna.  No photo of the
daughter's gravestone is included in her memorial.  In the 1850 census, this
child's name was spelled Rosanna.

with their brother John Augustus Mullinax.

Notes for Mary Sarah MULLINAX


One source in One World Tree (Ancestry.com) reports this person as the daughter
of William and Sarah Mullinax, but with the last name of Mullins.  It is not
clear what this should indicate.  it is true that the name Mullins and
Mullinax are forms of the same name, Mullins lacking the Celtic ending.  But
these names are normally found in separate family lineages.  I do not know why
this daughter would be surnamed Mullins.  Perhaps this was just an inadvertent
error that this researcher did not catch in editing.

Notes for Matison A MULLINAX

The 1900 census reports that Mat's birth date was December 1854, but family
sources report his actual birthday was 16 November 1856, the date which
appears on his gravestone.

Mat's real name is reported in genealogies as Matison (not Madison) A
Mullinax.  he was called "Mat" for short, which is sometimes seen written as
Matt.  And one census records his name as Madison instead of Matison. 
Originally I thought his wife was Louisa Forrester, since Mat and his wife
Louisa are living three doors away from Louisa's mother Zenith (Barnes)
Forrester.  But other sources led me to determine that Mat's wife was Louisa
Jane Jordan.

Family genealogies provide more details abotu Matt and his family.

Notes for Matthew MULLINAX


This Matthew may be in the wrong place.  He appears in some sources, but the
birth date is the same year as John S Mullinax, another child in this family
in some genealogies.  The dates of birth are uncertain estimates.  I have done
some critical comparisons of sources and various persons named Matthew, but
have not worked this out yet.
Return to Matthew MULLINAX










































Notes for Matthew MULLINAX


Matthew and Dorothy (Dorothea) moved from South Carolina to Alabama then on to
Arkansas.  Most genealogies have only one child, a son, Franklin W Mullinax. 
The middle name was William.  Some sources have the name as William Franklin
and others as William Franklin.  I am informed by Sarah Mullennix that the
family descendants list the name as William Franklin.

In Alabama in 1860, we find William in the same household with his parents,
serving as a public school teacher.  With him is his wife Lydia, called Liddy,
but listed in the census as Liddo O Mullinax, age 18.  This is Lydia Obedience
Autry.  She was born in Tennessee, according to this census entry, but Sarah
Mullinix, a researcher of the Mullinax lineage, informs me that she was born
in Mississippi.

Dorothy C Mullinax  61  SC (C seems to be for maiden name Canada) [b abt 1799]

Liddo O Mullinax  18 TN

William F is their son (listed as Franklin W in 1850), with his wife Liddy
(Lydia Obedience Obedience Autry).

Both Matthew and his wife Dorothy died not long after moving from Alabama to
Arkansas.  They moved sometime after the census in 1860.  Dorothy died 25
October 1862 and Matthew 3 September 1864.

The source from Allcensus gives the birth date of 1780 for Rachel.  The birth
date in other sources I have seen is 1785.  Interestingly, the Allcensus list
for this family also lists two additional children with no name.  The birth
date on the second of these is 1785, the date I used for Rachel from another

Notes for Robert Hezekiah MULLINAX


My cousin Gerald Lynn Mullinax has prepared the folliowng memorial for Robert
Hezekiah Mullinax on Find A Grave Memorial Database.

----------------------------------------
Robert Hezekiah Mullinax
Birth Jan. 7, 1843 Kings Mountain Township, York County, South Carolina
Death Jul. 22, 1903 Jasper, Pickens County, Georgia

Robert Hezekiah Mullinax joined the Confederate States of America May 10,
1862.  He joined the 36th Regiments Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Company L
(Pickens County, GA.) along with three of his brothers James J., Benson J.,
and Marion Francis and Robert's brother-in-law John McIntyre.  They assembled
in Dalton, GA. during the winter of 1861-1862.  Their Company served first in
Tennessee, then Mississippi where it was part of T.H. Taylor's Brigade,
Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana.

It fought at Champion's Hill and Vicksburg, where it surrendered July 4, 1863. 
After being exchanged (an unusual event of more modern day wars) the Regiment
was brigaded under General Cummings and fought with the Army of Tennessee from
Chattanooga to Nashville, The Atlanta Georgia Campaign and the Carolina's
Campaign.  In January 1865 it was consolidated with the 56th Georgia Regiment.

As originally organized, the Regiment had 930 men.  It suffered 43 casualties
at Chattanooga and reported 267 men and 213 arms in December of 1863.  When it
consolidated (in which the three brothers had rejoined after surrender at
Vicksburg) 232 men were present for duty.  Only a handful of the men
surrendered on April 26, 1865.

Mike Taylor reports the birth date of Sarah J Mullinax as 24 November 1850. 
But she is recorded in the 1850 census, which was taken on 7 September.  The
census date was 1 September, so she could have been born no later than 31 July
1850, to have passed her first month by 1 September.
