Does anyone have an idea who fathered Lydia Mullis' three sons Joseph (b 1841), William, and Eli? Lydia moved with some of her family from N.C. to Pulaski Co. GA in the 1830s. Her tombstone says she was married to Charley Mullis, but I can find no evidence of that. Suzanne

Do you have any info on Eli, son of Lydia?
I have an affidavit that was written by Jesse Peacock, attesting to the service record of an Eli Mullis of Dodge and Pulaski County Ga. Mr Peacock gave the following info about Eli Mullis: He enlisted in company H at Charlston Tenn in 1862; Mr Mullis was with company until surrender:Mr Mullis
was home on furlow at time of surrender. discharge- Colley Station April 16,> 1865.Command as at Tunell(?) Hill when Mr Mullis went onf furlow after horse?. Jesse Peacock also says that he is second cousin to Eli Mullis. Date May 17, 1911.

No regiment is mentioned, nor can I find an Eli Mullis or Jesse Peacock listed on any roster. Jesse Peacock would be my GG Grandfather.

Hello Bernice,
There are a ton of Mullises. Start out at www.mullishannapage.com for the story of how the Mullis family started in N.C. and those who migrated to South Georgia. Lydia was part of this group. There is also a web site called the Mullis Melange about the family. I don't know the details of Eli's descendants. I came out of his brother Joel/Joseph's line. There is a Mullis family reunion every August in Dexter, GA. I think there is also a web site at RootsWeb. Suzanne Flowers

Oh yes- and if you ever discover any info on the father of Eli, William Henry, and my gr gr grandfather Joseph, please let me know!
