Just a thought I had tonight.

Rockhound,

I found this site that has some Mullins info…http://groups.msn.com/mullins are also mentioned in Carlson’s dissertation as being a Scottish-Irish familly. I think Melungeon was a slur against a people that were different…

I enjoy and have been missing your posts…I know summer can be very busy:) …
