MULLICAN GENERATION FIVE
16. THOMAS5 MULLICAN, (William4, William3,James2, JamesA-1), b ca by 1763 ?VA
m 28 June 1786 Bedford Co., VA Millie Routon b ca 1765-1784 dau of Richard
Routon. He apparently moved with his father to Greenville District, South
Carolina about 1786 or 1787. On 4 May 1791 he purchased 35 acres of land on
Horse Creek in Greenville District from Jesse Chandler.35 This land adjoined
land of Jesse Chandler and William Mullican. Then on 20 Jan 1801 he purchased
110 acres of land on Horse Creek of Reedy River from Moses Lingo.36 This land
was originally granted to Jesse Chandler. Witnesses to this deed were William
Mullican and Warrick Bristo. Thomas is listed on the 1810 Census of Greenville
District with 4 white males under 10; 2 white males 10-16: 1 white male 16-26: 1
white male over 45: 1 white female under 10: 1 white female 10-16: 2 white
female 16-26; and one white female 26-45. On 21 June 1816 he and wife Melg sold
60 acres of land on Horse Creek to Douglas Childers.37 This land bordered Thomas
Brister, John Chandler, Sr, Lenus Rice, and Thomas Mullican. Witnesses to the
deed were Richard R. Mullican and Thomas Mullican Jr. Then on 9 Feb 1818 he sold
291 acres of land on Horse Creek to Joseph McCullough.38 This was apparently all
of his land owned at that time as it included the plantation he now lives on. We
can surmise that in 1818 Thomas moved from Greenville District. This seems to be
further confirmed by the fact that in Mar 1817 Milly Mullican was granted her
letter of dismissal by Fork Shoals Baptist Church.39 On the membership lists
Milly Mullican is listed below a - - lly Mullican.40 Thomas was also a member of
Fork Shoals Baptist Church as on 11 Nov 1826 as a former member he was restored
to membership. The abstractor of the church minutes added a note that "he
may also have been dismissed at the same time."41 Fork Shoals Baptist
Church is located in southern Greenville County, South Carolina just off
McKelvey Road [Hwy 154], eight miles southwest of Fountain Inn and ten miles
southeast of Piedmont.42 The first surviving minutes of this church start in
1814. South Carolina Baptist Historian think that Fork Shoals Baptist Church was
formerly Horse Creek Baptist Church, as the first appearance of name Fork Shoals
is in 1799 and the final appearance of Horse Creek Church was in 1798.
Thomas and Thomas Mullican Jr are listed as a list of tax defaulters in Gwinnett
County, Georgia on 10 August 1819. In the 1820 Censu of Gwinnett County
Thomas is listed with one white male under 10, one white male 10-16, one white
male 45 and up, one white female under 10 and one white female 45 and up.
Also in Gwinnett County in 1820 was Thomas' brother Ninian Mullican. In
1830 Census of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Thomas is listed with one white male
20-30, one white male 60-70 one white female under five, one white female 15-20
and one white female 60-70. Probably children of Thomas Mullican and
Millie Routan:

VA. William Mullican was a farmer, and appears to have moved with his father to
South Carolina about 1787. On 10 Mar 1791 he purchased for 100 pounds 240 acres
of land on Horse Creek, Greenville District, South Carolina from Joseph
Dunklin.44 This land was bordered by the land of Jesse Chandler. He was still
living in Greenville District on 26 Jan 1792 when he appeared in court as
witness to deed for his father.45 He may have moved to North Carolina for a few
years as his son, William, on 1850 census says he was born in North Carolina. We
do not know if his son gave the information to the census taker, or if it was a
neighbor or some other person. If he did then he was back in South Carolina by
1797. On 29 May 1797 he purchased for 40 pounds 300 acres of land from Joseph
Webb[Joel Webb] on Seneca River in Washington District of South Carolina.46 This
land was bordered by the land of James Chandler and Isham Irby. On 5 August 1798
he sold 240 acres of this land for 50 pounds to John Russel.47 The deed
describes the land as being on Northside of Keowee River. William signed with an
"X" as his mark. On 4 November 1797 as William Millican Jr of
Pendleton District he sold his livestock to his father in Greenville District.48
He is in the 1800 Pendleton District, SC census with 3 white males under 10, 1
white male 26 to 45, 2 white females under 10, and 1 white female 26 to 45. He
was still in Pendleton District in 1801 when he helped inventory the estate of
George Hoge.49 By 1805 he is in Lincoln County, Kentucky as he is on Tax List
with one white male over 21 and two horses.50 In the same tax district were
Jesse, Joel, and Townsend Webb. He is also on the 1806 Lincoln County Tax List
with one white male, three horses, and 200 acres of land on Knoblick Creek.51 In
1806 part of Lincoln County including Knoblick Creek was formed into Casey
County, Kentucky. He is listed as William Mullican, Jr on the 1807 and 1808 Tax
Lists of Casey County with four horses and 100 acres of land on Knoblick Creek
with his father as William Mullican SR. In 1808 Solomon Mullican is also listed
on the tax lists.52 We feel he moved from Casey County in 1808-1809 to Warren
County, Tennessee as on 17 September 1810 he had his occupant claim of 177 acres
of land surveyed on Mountain Creek adjoining James Webb.53 He, his brother, John
Mullican, Elias, James Jr & Sr, and Julias Webb is listed on the 1812 Warren
County Tax list in Richard Cantrell's District.54 On
6 April 1813 he entered 60 acres of land on dry fork of Mountain Creek in Warren
County. The land, which included said Mullican's spring, was surveyed on 17
October 1813 with James Webb and William Mullican as survey chain carriers.55
Also in 1813 he, brother John, and their father, William, signed a petition as
citizens living in extreme Northeast corner of Warren County to move voting
place to Pine Creek56 [in present DeKalb Co.] He entered 12 acres of land on 12
October 1814 on waters of Mountain Creek.57 The land was surveyed on 8 September
1815, and survey chain carriers were James Webb and William Mullican. He entered
two tract of land in 1824 for 82 acres and 50 acres.58 In 1825 and 1826 he
entered two tracts of land of 50 acres each.58 The 1825 and 1826 entries joined
land of Jonathan Parris on Mountain Creek. He also entered seven acres of land
in 1826 which joined his 60 acre tract he lived on, his 12 acre tract, and land
he purchased from Enoch Anderson, James Webb, and Thomas Harper.60 In 1828 he
entered 30 acres of land on waters of Collins River, and the 30 acres begin on
beginning corner of tract John G. Mullican now lives so as to include the old 30
acre tract said Mullican now lives on.61 He also added to his land holdings in
1828 by purchasing 50 acres from Jonathan Davis.62 The land was on both sides of
Mountain Creek. The land begin a few poles of the Baptist Meeting House, and
joined Jonathan Parris's lower 100 acre survey. The Baptist Meeting House is
probably the Concord Primitive Baptist Church located east of Highway 56 in
Warren Co., TN north of McMinnville and just north of community of Gath.
William and his wife, Wilmouth, were on the 1812-1816 membership list.63 of
the Old Bildad Baptist Church on Sink Creek in present day DeKalb County,
Tennessee. Also on the same list are Allen Mullican, Jane Mullican, Julius Webb,
and Hannah Webb. William and Wilmouth may have moved their membership to Old
Bildad's sister church, Concord Baptist Church, after it was established in
1814. Concord was located south of Mountain Creek in Warren County, and may have
been the church mentioned in the 1828 survey of Williams's. Old Bildad and
Concord held strong beliefs in predestination, and neither had a Sunday School
or musical instruments. They would have a preaching service only once a month;
lasting two to three hours, including the singing which was very slow.64 When
William's relationship with the Baptist Church begin is not exactly known, but
it continued in later generations. As his grandson, John Jefferson Mullican,
added a substantial wood frame room onto his log cabin for the church to meet on
Jones Fork in DeKalb County. William's great grandson, Jeremiah Mullican,
continued the Primitive Baptist tradition as he was a Minister.65
Rev. Ridlon states that Wilmouth Bruce was the wife of William Mullican. I
have found no association of the Mullican family with the Bruce family. I first
thought that William's wife may have been a Webb. It is obvious that William was
close to his family, since he was close to them why would he move several times
away from them. He first moves several miles away in a new county. Then he moves
to another state. When his family joins him he moves to another state. There
seems to be only one logical reason for these moves and that is his wife wanted
to be with her family. In each of his moves the Webb family was close to him. He
buys land from the Webbs, witnesses their deeds, and gives bond for them. There
was a close association for there to be no relationship involved. Another
indication of Webb involvement is his brother, John, purchased land from Julius
Webb. Then there is the William Mullican appointed as appraiser of the estate of
Thomas Townsend66, and Townsend was the father of Didama Townsend the wife of of
Jesse Webb.67 Jesse and his son, Townsend Webb, were in Kentucky with William
Mullican. John's son, John, named one of his daughters, Didama Mullican. Per
Tommy Webb, DeKalb County Historian, Julius Webb had a sister Didama Webb that
married James Webb68 the neighbor of William, and of course Jesse Webb's wife
was Didama Townsend. Also 29 Oct 1788, John Webb and Jesse Webb purchased land
on Horse Creek in Greenville District, SC from Jesse & Shadrach Chandler.
John and Jesse witnessed each others deeds with addition witnesses of John Byars
Webb and Joel Webb.69 The family Bible of Jeremiah Mullican, grandson of John S.
Mullican and great grandson of William, has William marrying Willie Bruce. This
is from copy made by Rock House Chapter, D.A.R., Sparta, Tennessee. This copy
also has William's brother, John, marrying Bettie Bruce. This information was
from the second page of the Bible. In 1960's I copied the original Bible of
Jeremiah Mullican which was owned by Ms. Florence Williams, Dry Valley,
Cookeville, Tennessee. The Bible was definely Jeremiah's as tells about his
conversion and his wife's. The flyleaf on the Bible was dated 1893. In this
Bible there was no mention of William Mullican and his wife. The copies made by
DAR would seem to have the parent of William added after 1907 when Rev. Ridlon
published his book. I also have portions of the original bible of John Jefferson
Mullican, son of John S. Mullican, and it does not mention William or his wife.
I found the will of Elisha Estes in Roane Co., TN. Elisha made his will on
6 Sep 1818 and probated 9 Mar 1819 in his will he names daughters, Wilmoth
Mulliken; Jenney Neighbor; Susanna Eastes; Nany Webb, Elizabeth Crumbles and
Mary Brister.70 Elisha Estes lived in Greenville County, South Carolina on
Horse Creek near the Mullicans and this is in sametime frame that William would
have married.71 When I platted out the survey of Elisha Estes in Greenville
County his land bordered that of Thompson Brister (father of Warrick Brister)
and Charles Estes. There was one owner of land between Elisha Estes and
William Mullican. Elisha had four other other daughters that married people on Horse
Creek and those daughters were Jenney Nieghbors, Nany " Nancy" Webb
and Mary Brister. Brister. Bristers, Crumbless, Neighbors and Webb are all people which William was
associated with in South Carolina, Kentucky or Tennessee as referenced by

Certainly all of these transactions show a strong pattern of relationship
between Bristers, Crumbless, Neighbors and Mullicans. At the time frame
that William Mullican would have married Elisha Estes was close by with his
daughter, Wilmouth. The evidence is excellent that Wilmouth Mullican was
the daughter of Elisha Estes. There is no reliable evidence to show that
Wilmouth was a Bruce.
William made an affidavit for his sister, Nancy Mullican Vickers,
Revolutionary War pension application on 17 May 1845. He stated his sister was
married to John Vickers in Greenville Co., SC on 18 Nov 1791 and that his oldest
son John Mullican was born 8 Nov 1791. He also said that his sister’s oldest
child and his oldest child was born 28 Aug 1793. He referred to his brother John
Mullican.
In the 1850 Warren Co., TN agricultural census, District 11, William has 25
acres improved land, 150 acres unimproved land with value of $300. Value
of implements was $20. He owned one horse, one mule, three milk cows, six
other cattle and 19 swine. the value of animals was $103. His farm
produce was 200 bushels cornt; 100 bushels oats, 40 bushesl of barley, 150
pounds of butter. Value of home manufactured was $10 and value of animals
slaughtered was $20.
The landholdings of William and the inventory that follows indicates that he
was a farmer as was the majority of the men in his neighborhood. We can see from
the inventory that he raised corn, oats, owned hogs and cattle. His home was
probably made of logs that he had cleared from his land to farm.
William was dead by 24 March 1851 when the inventory of his personal property
was taken.72 In his inventory was 1 clock; 4 bedsteads & furniture; 1
cupboard; 1 Bible; 1 table; 1 pothook; 1 lot of pewter; lot of stoneware; 1 pot
oven with lid; 1 looking glass; 2 barrels; 1 bottle; 2 wheels; 1 check reel; 1
pot with hooks; lot of grain, 1 mans saddle; 1 lot of chain; 1 waggon; 1 froe; 1
weeding hoe; 1 wood saw; lot of shucks; 1 curry comb; 13 barrels corn; lot of
fodder; stack of oats; cutting knife; lot of hoggs; 1 cow & calf; 1 pulley;
1 trunk; 1 plow; 1 bottom; 1 trough; 1 keg, $25.00 in cash; 1 note on Elias C.

good. The Inventory was taken by William C. Mullican and Samuel Fuston as
administators. Buyers at the estate sale were Zebedee Edge; Sarah Green; Nancy
Fuston; Thomas Womack; Wm G. Mullican, Bible; Franky Mullican; Jany Mullican;

shows Nancy as age 64 and born in Tennessee. This is not correct as to state of
her birth as Tennesse did not become a state until 1796. William Mullican in an
affidavit for his sister, Nancy Mullican Vickers, widow’s pension application
mentioned his brother John Mullican. We have have no record on John in
Greenville Co., SC or Casey Co., SC. It does appear from some of his children
being born in SC that he lived in Greenville Co., SC. His daughter, Susanna,
date of birth 1810 is listed on the 1850 census of Warren Co., TN as being born
in SC. John is not on the 1810 census of South Carolina, so he probably moved
from SC in 1810 to Warren Co., TN. He definitely appears to not have lived in
Casey Co., KY area as he is not on any of the Casey County or Lincoln Co., KY
tax lists. The common thinking is that John and his brother, William, moved to
Warren Co., TN in 1818 which is incorrect as the following records show that
John was in Warren Co., TN as early as 1812.
