William Mullican

                                         MULLICAN GENERATION FOUR

13. WILLIAM4 MULLICAN, (William3, James2, JamesA-1), b abt 1740 Prince Georges Co., MD d bet 1814-1820 ?Lincoln Co., KY m1st Nancy "Ann" Allen dau of Robert Allen and ______ Reynolds dau of Edward Reynolds23 m2nd 25 Mar 1780 Anna Barrett dau of Isaac Barrett and Elizabeth Beall, and Elizabeth Beall was the daughter of Ninian Beall.24 William we can surmise was a farmer as he was a land owner in Bedford Co., VA, Greenville Dist, SC, and in Kentucky. The land of his father-in-law was on Buffalo Creek in Bedford County, and the land he sold that he probably lived on was on Orrix Creek in Bedford County. Buffalo Creek and Orrix Creek are close together, and on Eastside of Bedford County near the Campbell County border. He signed the Baptist petition to Virginia House of Burgess'. He appears on the Bedford County Tax lists from 1782 to 1786.25 In 1782 he was taxed on two horses, and in 1783-1786 he was taxed on 3 horses and 8 to 9 male cattle. He must have moved from Bedford County in 1786 or 1787 to Greenville District, South Carolina. He is listed on the 1790 and 1800 Census of Greenville District, South Carolina with neighbors James Webb, Jesse Webb, Joel Webb, and John Vickers. In 1791 he purchased from William Floid 50 acres of land.26 It appears that the Mullican's lived in the Horse Creek area of Greenville District, South Carolina. Horse Creek is located in Southern part of Greenville County, South Carolina, and South of Town of Fork Shoals. It runs south then curves to the east into Reedy River near the Northern border of Laurens County. Horse Creek is also just to the east of the Anderson (old Pendleton District) County line. On 13 Mar 1807 he and wife Anny sold 360 acres of land on Horse Creek, Waters of Reedy River, Greenville District, to Strawder Shumate for $400.00.27 The 360 acres was bordered by land of Thomas Mullican, Johnathan Dewece, William Davenport, Hullett Sullivant, William McCulla, and John Chandler. William probably moved at this time to Casey County, Kentucky as he is listed on 1807 Casey County Tax list with two white males over 16 years of age as William Sr.28 Also listed was his son, William Mullican with one white male over 16. He is found on the Casey County Tax list through 1811. In 1808 William Jr and Solomon Mullican are listed with him, and in 1809 James and Solomon Mullican are listed with him. Since William Jr is not found on 1809 Tax list we can assume that he has now moved probably to Warren County, Tennessee. William Sr is listed on the 1810 Census of Casey County, Kentucky with one white male under 10; one white male over 45; one white female 10-16; and one white female over 45. In 1811 he is on Casey County Tax lists with his sons James and Solomon Mullican. In 1812 he purchased 100 acres of land on Three Knoblick Creek in Casey County from Samuel and Milly Coleman.29 By 1813 he was in Warren County, Tennessee as he signed the petition to change the voting place to Pine Creek along with his sons William Mullican Jr and John Mullican.30 Then in 1814 we find him on the Lincoln County, Kentucky Tax list with 40 acres of land.31 Also on 30 May 1814 as William Mulakin and wife Ann of Lincoln County sold for $400.00 land on Three Knoblick Creek in Casey County to William Hanna.32 He is not found on the 1815 Tax list of Lincoln County, but his son James Mulakin is listed. He is on the 1816 and 1818 Lincoln County Tax lists. We have found no record of him after 1818, and he probably died in 1818-1820.

Nancy "Ann" Allen Mullican is first found in records in the will of Robert Allen as one of his three daughters.33 Robert Allen had ties to Prince Georges Co., MD as he seems to have been from that area, his first wife was from there, and his second wife Jane Prather widow was from Prince Georges Co., MD.was from Prince Georges Co., MD. Nancy seems to have preferred the name Anny as the only time she is listed as Nancy was when her father's land was sold.34 In that deed her sister was listed as Elizabeth, and not by the nickname Betsey.
