The most numerous family in Dickenson County, Virginia, bears the name of Mullins. The names of 441 Mullins' appear on the 1930 poll tax list. There are many other Mullins in other counties of Southwestern Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia.
     The name originated from Moulin, a place in the Department of Orne, in Normandy, France.Several centuries ago members of the family went from there to England, where the present spelling of the name was adopted. It is family tradition that the ancestors of the Dickenson County Mullins came to America from Ireland.
     Darby Mullins was with Captain Kidd in his piratical wanderings. Priscilla Mullins and her father, William Mullins, came with the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock, and she became the heroine of Longfellow's famous poem, "Miles Standish." In 1699, John Molins lived in Gloucester, England. In 1704 William Mullins lived in Middlesex County, Virginia.
     On October 31,1797, John Mullins, Ambros Mullins, and William Mullins, took the Oath of Allegiance in Henry County, Virginia. Dr. Edgar Young Mullins, a leading Minister of the Baptist Church, was probably the most distinguished member of the family in recent years.
     The Federal Census of 1790 shows that there were at that time 30 Mullins families in the United States. The average size of these families were 5.6. They were distributed as follows: Massachusetts, 2;Virginia, 20; North Carolina, 6; South Carolina, 2.
     The Dickenson County Mullins have not traced their ancestry very far into the past. There are two main branches here, and one of them is descended from one John Mullins who lived on the Toe River in Yancy (now Mitchell) County, North Carolina. Family tradition has it that his home was on the route Col. William Campbell and his "Redcoats," and that John Mullins joined the little force of patriots and went on to the glorious victory at Kings Mountain on that fine day in October, 1780. He reared a family in North Carolina, among his children being three sons: James, Solomon and John. After these sons came to the waters of Pound River in Southwestern Virginia, he followed them and spent his last days with his son John in Holly Creek Valley at what is now the town of Clintwood, Virginia. His descendants called him "Great-Grandsir." He died in 1849, and was buried near where John Powers now resides in Clintwood. The absence of any ready made coffins or lumber made it necessary to bury him in
a crude coffin finished from a poplar log.
     The Federal Census of 1790 enumerated one John Mullins living in Burke County, North Carolina, in whose family were 1 male over 16 years of age, 3 males under 16, and 3 females. Burke included in 1790 the territory later formed into Yancy and Mitchell Counties, and it is quite probable that this John Mullins was the same "Great-Grandsir," or Revolutionary John Mullins mentioned herein.

     1-B  James Mullins was born in 1783, and died on Grassy Creek, near the Breaks of Sandy in 1870 (?). He came to Pound, Russell County (now Wise) County, Virginia, prior to 1810. On April 5,1815, he and Berry Robinson purchased 200 acres of land on Indian Creek, Bold Camp and Pound Fork from Robert Preston. On June 11, 1817, he purchased Robinson's interest in this tract the deed being signed by Littleberry Robinson and his wife, Polenah. The Federal Census of 1820 shows him living in Russell County. Later he moved to the Cooner place on Pound River, near the mouth of Cranesnest River, where he resided for some years. He left there about 1854 and lived three years on Johns Creek in Pike County, Kentucky. He then moved to Grassy Creek on the present line between Buchanan and Dickenson Counties, where he remained until his death. He was a noted hunter, owned several slaves, some of their names being Sam, Lewis, Harriett, Lila and Ollie. He was an herb doctor and was widely known as "Dr. Jim Mullins." His first wife was Nancy Mullins, born 1784, and they had the following children: William, Solomon, and Annie. His second wife was Polly Mullins, born 1811, daughter of Ambros Mullins, and they had the following children: Didema, Preston and John, born 1833.

     2-B  Solomon Mullins moved to the waters of Holly Creek, about two miles northeast of Clintwood, where he lived for several years. He owned several slaves, mostly women, who worked in the fields and hunted in the woods. He was known as "Moneymaking Sol," because he made counterfeit money for several years under a cliff near Holly Creek. The cliff is still pointed out by neighbors as "Sol's Cliff." The government began to investigate his activity and he fled to Harts Creek, Logan County, West Virginia, taking most of his family with him. The writer has not been able to ascertain the name of his wife, nor the names of his children, except Peter, Eli and Spencer. 

     3-B  John Mullins, born 1784, died at Clintwood, Virginia, September 19, 1859. He and his wife lie buried on a slope about three hundred yards west of the Courthouse. He was a farmer and stock raiser. His first home was on Toe River in Yancy County, North Carolina. Learning of the cheap land and good hunting conditions on the waters of Pound River, he came to investigate. He became dissatisfied, and returned to his old home. He could not, however, get his mind off the great possibilities of this new country, so in the spring of 1829 (?) He brought a drove of hogs, cattle and horses to Holly Creek, and accompanying him were his two sons David and Isaac, and his daughter Mary, aged 14 years. They moved into a log cabin previously erected by an old hunter, William Broadwater, and which stood near the present (1932) residence of Dr. E. L. Phipps in the town of Clintwood. Here they grazed their stock on the pea vine and other luxuriant vegetation which they grew in the valleys and on the hills. They also put out and cultivated a crop. In the fall, Mr. Mullins and his two sons returned to their old home on the Toe River to bring back the remainder of the family and their worldly goods. Little Mary Mullins heroically stayed alone in the cabin for fourteen days until her relatives returned. She cared for the livestock and the crop. Her nearest neighbor was at least twelve miles away through a trackless forest, which was filled with fierce bears, wolves, panthers, and other varmints. These wild beasts often came to the cabin door at night and fought the dogs in the yard. Mr. Mullins became the owner of several thousand acres of the best land in Dickenson County, on which he settled his children as they married. After a few years he built a new house near the present Cumberland Chevrolet Garage (1932), near which may still be seen an old dead topped cedar which Mr. Mullins planted in his yard. He married Ollie Cox (1792-January 22, 1877), and had the following children: David, Kizzie, Nancy, Mary J., Isaac, Solomon, Hannah Minerva, James, Jane (Jennie), John, Sarah, Harmon, Ollie and Hazy Anne (b. 1835).

mouth of Brush Creek of Pound River where he lived the rest of his life. His wife was Sallie Potter of Kentucky, and they had the following children: Isham (Isom), Marshall and Mary (Polly).
