Classification: Query
Surnames: Hamblen, Mullins
Thomas Hamblen died intestate, september 27, 1864. His son, Pleasant Walker Hamblen, Franklin County, AR, was appointed administrator to the Thomas Hamblen estate on May 31, 1866.
Question: Can I assume that those listed in the probate as heirs are, indeed, descendants of Thomas?
The reason for this question is that John D. Mullins, guardian of Martha J. and Julia A. Mullins, is listed as well. These three were children of Swift Flower Mullins and wife, Caroline, who both died during the Civil War. I have assumed that Caroline was the daughter of Thomas Hamblen. Thomas and Mary Hamblen did have an unnamed daughter between 5-10 years old in the 1830 census of Jackson County, MO. Do you think this is a fair assumption?
By the way, the current Mullins family researchers have Caroline as a Taylor, but have been unable to provide proof for me.
