Notes
- 1870 Federal Census, Pickens County, Georgia, 12 July, PO Jasper, page 75, Hse/Fam #585
Mullins, Green D 37 M W Farmer $50 Real Estate $100 Personal b South Carolina [b abt 1833]

Mullins, Pearson J 9 M W At Home Georgia Can read or write [b abt 1861]
In 1880, It appears that Pearson is living with his brother Elias, along with two other brothers. His name is unreadable here. The person matching age most closely with Pearson in 1870 has a partially faded name that appears to begin with Jef, matching the initial J in 1870.

A Mullins researcher has told me that Brantley Mullins wrote his brother's name as Mc Pierson.
"Doctor Brantley Mullen in his eastern cherokee application stated his brothers names were: Christopher Columbus Mullins, Elias Mullow Mullins, Mc Pierson B. Mullins, and that he had no sisters."

His name on his marriage record was Pierce M Mulins. This is interpreted by some genealogists as meaning two given names, Pierce Mack Mullins.

The birth date given here is later than that yielded by the age in the 1860 and 1870 census. The 1920 census is closer to the date given in the Rushing information.

White Male
The difference in age and thus birth year here originally made me wonder if Mack P Mullins is really the same person as Pearson Mullins, son of Green D Mullins. But the additional information about the form of his name Mc Pierson leads me to think we should, as often necessary, ignore the census ages. The 1870 entry could have been a simple handwritten error, writing only the 9 of 19. I can't account for the J/Jef or the B reported by his brother Brantley.
