SOURCES: The beginnings of my research came from the research originally done by Meda Garrigues around 1900 and carried on by Gertrude McMullen Heitmeyer in the 1970s. I obtained a copy of the little booklet Gertrude printed up for a family reunion in around 1975 - then travelled to Dearborn Co., met with Gertrude and filmed the original homestead homesite and many of the graves. My research started from there. ......................................................................... .. NOTES: James and Nancy were married by A.J.Cotton, Judge 1850 Census Dwelling #228 Family # 228 On this census James was listed as not being able to read or write James McMullen 34 M Carpenter Penn value of realestate $1500 Nancy 32 F Penn Hugh B 9 M in Harriet 2 F in 1860 Census Dwelling #278 Family # 270 James McMullen 46 M Pa Nancy 41 F Pa Hugh B 18 M in Harriet 11 F In Eliza 8 F in Martha 6 F In Alzora 4 F in Mary 2 F In John 2/12 M In 1870 Census (wherein they are home #196) lists Abraham Lincoln McMullen as being 10 at that time. My guess is they changed the name of John to Abraham Lincoln in honor of the President. My reasoning is that John was listed as being 2 months old in June of 1860. It would have been a little difficult for Nancy to have had a baby in April and another before the end of the year. Not impossible but..... McMullens had a school house where the Methodist Episcopal Church met during the 1860s and 1870s. Sunday School roll for Sept 12, 1871 follows: Francis Bodine, leader.
