Note

Eli Mullins was the son of Solomon "Money Making Sol" and his wi
fe Sarah Greenfield Cathey. (Sarah's name is based on tradition
). We do know from censusrecords that she was born in South Ca
rolina. Solomon Mullins was bo rn 23 February, 1782, and died i
n August, 1858. Both he and his wife are buried atBig Creek, j
ust over the Boone County line, ner Chapmanville, (Logan County
) West virginian. Solomon was the son of John Mullins, a Revolu
tionary War Veteran, and his wife, Jane "Jennie."
Eli Mullins was born circa 1802. He became a widower at a youn
g age. It was very difficult to trace his children, because Eli
zabeth Short died sometime in the 1840s. The children were plac
edwith relatives and Eli sold his land in Wise County before hi
s death, so there was no estate to be settled, therefore the chi
ldren's names (by first wife) were not to be found in court reco
rds in Virginia, nor Kentucky. Eli diedin Wise County, Virgini
a sometime in the 1880s.
