Martin B Mullins 14 M GA

Martin's age in the 1850 and 1860 census make it appear that he was born in 1846 rather than 1847 as family sources report. He is 4 and 14 respectively, rather than 3 and 13, which would match birth in May 1847.

Martin Burton, along with his father and two uncles, fought for the Union in the Civil War. For more on their role in the Civil War, see the notes for Martin's uncle Green D Mullins and his father George Ross.

In 1870, Martin B Mullins is head of his household on a farm, age 23, with wife Haley Ann, and children Carr B, age 3, and Emma J, age 1. Brother Giffin Mullins, at age 25, is a Farm Laborer;

Parents' birth places are not reported in this census.

1870 Federal Census, Pickens County, Georgia, 8 July, Truckwheel, PO Jasper, page 65, Hse/Family #506
Mullins, Martin B       23 M W Farmer Born Georgia (abt 1847)
Mullins, Thaly Ann    22 F W Kpng Hse Born Georgia (abt 1848)
Mullins, Carr B           3 M W Born Georgia (abt 1867)
Mullins, Emma J          1 F W Born Georgia (abt 1869)
Corbin, William 7 M W Asstng on Farm Born Georgia (abt 1863)
Mullins, Giffin            25 M W Farm Laborer Born Georgia (abt 1845)

William Corbin, age 7, is also "Assisting on Farm." This is the same as the child reported in other sources with the name Yearby Corbin. It seems likely his full name was William Yearby Corbin. Otherwise it is likely that the unusual name Yearby was his given name and he was called William as a nickname. William Corbin is a son of Thalia, not a Mullins. Name is written as "Corbin, William," as though Corbin is the last name. Other genealogies had taken his last name to be Mullins. Thaly was married at about age 15, just as her husband was going off to fight in the Civil War. He died in action, apparently never seeing his son.

They live next door to Sarah West and children, when Augustus is 17. The Wests live in House #505 for this census, and a couple of houses down in house #503 are Sam and Nancy Tatum and family.

Their daughter Betty is next door, married to George Nichols.

1910 Federal Census, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, 19 April, Asher Ward 1, District 194, page 3A, Hse/Fam #44
Mullins, Martin B Head M W 64 Married 43 yrs GA SC NC Own Income Ownership not stated [but see George]
Mullins, T Ann Wife F W 63 Married 43 yrs 10 children/7 living GA SC GA
Mullins, George B Son M W 25 Married less than a year TX GA GA No Occupation Stated Owns
Mullins, Addie Dau-in-law F W 16 Married less than a year OK MO MO
Mullins, Josie Granddau F W 8 Single OK GA OK

The picture of relationships is not clear here. George and Addie are both reported to be in their first marriage, but Josie is 8 years old, and Addie would have been only 8 years old when Josie was born. George is 9 years older than Addie. One would think that Josie's mother was an earlier wife who has died. But if Josie is George's daughter, this should be his 2nd marriage. Perhaps Addie is the child of a different son. Or perhaps the enumerator meant to report that Josie was 8 months old, not 8 years.

Martin is buried next to his wife Thalia Anne in the Wanetta Cemtery, Wanetta, in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.
