Thomas Mullen

As of now thru the Mullin family research ( DNA ) . Thomas Mullen who married Ann Malone is not of Jacob Mullen and his wife Sarah Nicholson. Thomas Mullen thru records can be traced up to about 1780 living near his brother Abraham in North Carolina . Thomas and his brothers Abraham and Jacob received monies owed or held for them when a John Turner passed around 1771 also earlier records leading to this date. This was the property or properties left from their father Jacob as well as their uncle Isaac who was married to Elisabeth Sutton The son of Isaac named Joseph also stayed with uncle Jacob for a while after his father passed . It seems a Joseph Turner was also involved with the guardianship of the boys he was married to one of Abraham's daughters . This Abraham Mullen is the brother of Isaac and Jacob the three sons of Abraham Moulin .

Joseph Turner is either a brother or son of John Turner and both claim guardianship on the boys from time to time .

Thomas Mullen has a daughter named Sarah who married Benjamin Turner around 1790 he is also related to John Turner ................. Abraham Mullen son of Jacob married Mary Turner and of course related to John Turner..................

Thomas and his brothers signed a pact in 1757 to protect North Carolina from the British at this time Thomas was living with his cousin Joseph.

Thomas also had a brother named Jacob who may have been captured during the war of 1776 and placed on a prison ship in New Jersey he is basically untraceable after 1772 shown purchasing land with his brother Thomas

and a William Bateman who is the husband of Hannah Mullen Bateman the sister of the two ................ They had a son named Thomas Jonathan Bateman . William also married Bettie Mullen cousin of Hannah and they had a child named John .

Thomas has a brother Issac who married Elizabeth Meads and passed around 1781. They can be found puchasing land together as well being with thier cousin Zadock .... Thomas Mullen of Jacob Mullen was not in the VA. Millitia as a Captain . In fact he spent most of his time in Rattlesnake Creek and Durant under a Captain Sutton of North Carolina as a Private and at sometimes reported as AWOL . He did not recieve much from his father and spent time with his cousin Joseph ( Isaac Mullen and Elizabeth Sutton's son) he manage to purchase and sell land from the Sutton's in this area and also in Durant. On the death of his brother Abraham 1780 Thomas recieved Abe's oldest son Joseph Mullen he was about 9 yrs. old the other 2 brothers went to the Turner and Walston families all living in or near of each other.

As for the Captian Thomas Mullen ( Mullins) he was born in 1734 married an Elizabeth Garnnet and lived in Kent Co. VA. and passed in Ky. he also had a son or grand son named Thomas as well as a William and a great grandson James Thomas Mullen this familiy as in a part moved west like so many others and some even ended up in Texas around the early 1800's This Thomas Mullins is somewhat of a famous person................. As far as Thomas Mullen wife ........ still up for debate But the Sutton family claims a Sarah Sutton married a Mullen boy first name unknown... also a Margaret and pased in 1781 . As For a Zadock Mullen can be found recieving or purchasing some of his property at the estate sale . And some 20yrs. later Zadock's children selling the property again Which includes Abraham's sons Thomas( which is my line) and Greenberry present These are the 2 boys that did not go to live with uncle Thomas..............................

When Thomas Mullen ( the youngest son of Abraham Mullen and Mary Turner) moved to Haywood Tnn. with his wife Elizabeth ( Sarah ) Sutton.... The daughter of Thomas Mullen , Sarah Mullen Turner was present with children and not married this being around 1820 - 1840....................................................... this being the census as well as the Zion Baptist Church records . As far as I know he had a son named Levi also . Thomas parents are Jacob Mullen ans Sarah Nicholson and is the grandson of Abraham ( des ) Moulin.
