Mullinix in TN / KY
I have just started on the Mullinix tree.My dad always talked about his grandmother /g grandmother who was aCherokee indian and died when a cabin burnt down.(somewhere in KY I think) I always thought this was one person, but it could have been 2.My dad was James Leslie (or Leslie James) Mullinix born in 1910 or 1911 in Casey County, KY. His dad (my grandfather) was Charlie Mullinix died 12-16-1912 at the age of 42 in
Casey County, KY.In july, '01 Janice Oliver posted this letter in another forum.
"Jim,
It was great to hear from a Mullinix descendant! What was the year of Amanda's birth? On the Grant Co. 1870 census there is a Mullinix family, p. 545. John Mullinix, 35, is father, Briget, 33, mother, with seven children. My
grandfather's mother was listed as Sarah Mullinix and he was raised by an aunt, Mary Mullinix. I have found nothing on these. His father was a John W. HALE who lived in Owen Co. In a book titled "Mountain Island in Owen County",
p. 227 has John MULLANNIX, Sarah MULLANNIX, and William MULLANNIX as being expunged from the membership of a Baptist church. While doing research in the Owen Co. library in June, I found John C. MULLANNIX, 1856-1923 & Mary E. MULLANNIX, 1861-1938, w/Mary E. Glass MULLANNIX beside the entry. These were in a book re cemeteries. There were several others w/the same spelling.
I did a large mailing last year to 4 surnames incl. Mullinix. A Ron MULLINIX from Louisville sent a chart on MULLINIX in Iowa, but w/KY beginnings. There is also a letter that makes reference to an earlier MULLINIX being the offspring of a Cherokee indian and there is a note re a Mary MULLINIX in Grant Co., b. 8/17/1840, d. 1/14/1908 in a house fire. Does any of this make sense? I will be
glad to share whatever I have.
Janice"
I would like to get in touch with Janice or anyone else that knows anything about the letter she wrote about. As I stated eariler, I have just started on the Mullinix tree,
so have very little information.Any help appericated.Barb (Mullinix) Davis
