Looking for parents of Mary Polly born apx 1800. She was married to Elijan Mullins. They had a daughter named Mary Ann Mullins. Elijah's parents were Abner Mullins and Jedidah Hampton. If you have information please e-mail DBFireWife@aol.com. Thank you . .Debbie

Debbie, I think this is such a coincidence -- I was just corresponding with you about the Copeland lines. Now I just came across this old Polly posting of yours and feel there must be some connections in our research.

My ggggrandparents were Charles Mullins, son of Elijah Mullins, and Catherine Copeland, daughter of John Copeland and Mary Ann Gwinn. I have been looking for a long time for documentation that Elijah Mullin's wife was indeed Mary Polly (and not Mary with the usual nickname,Polly.) Do you have evidence of it that you could share with me? Have you had any luck in finding her parents? I have seen other researchers' belief that Mary was the daughter of Henry Polly and Athaliah Mary Mullins. According to Cainsville and Community History, Cainsville, Missouri, 1854-1990, Elijah's daughter, Mary Ann, married James Cain. I have more information about them if you would find it useful.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sharon. .I am not sure our family lines are connected. .actually this side, not the Copeland is my husband's side. .I am not sure if there are any Copeland's on his side or not, I cannot get past Mary "Polly" Emily McMahan which is Elijah Mullins wife. I have no documentation on other children, other then Mary Ann mullins who married james Cain, now after re-reading there has to be a connection. .Have you read my husband's family tree? it's called Brown Family Tree. .maybe if you look at the tree it will help clarify thing. James Cain and Mary Ann Mullins were my husbands Great Grandparents. Do you have a family tree on Ancestry.com I could look at? You can e-mail me at DBFireWife@aol.com, this would be great, hope to talk to you soon and we can surely get this figured out. .thanks . .debbie
