George C.
Son of
I. H. & S. A.
Mulinax
BORN
October 22, 1878
DIED
October 25, 1884
George Claudius Mullinax was the son of Taylor and Sarah A.
(Jennings) Mullinax [married November 25, 1875 in Wilson Co., TN].
George's father was the son of Isaac and Louisa Jane (nee Jennings)
(formerly Adamson) Mullinax, who are buried a few graves away. George
may have been the "Claudius" one-year-old in the 1880 Wilson Co., TN
census.
Isaac Hyram Taylor Mullinax (AKA Isaac H. Mullinax) (AKA
Taylor Mullinax) was the full name of George's father, and Taylor was
born September 9, 1848 in Wilson Co., TN and died July 18, 1918. Taylor
had a one-year-old son named Claudius in the household in 1880, who was the "George C" on this grave stone. The family is
later found in the 1900 census of District 10, Cannon Co., TN. At
that time Sarah is listed as having had three children die out of 8
born. The 1910 Cannon Co., Tn census states that 8 were born and 6
living; so the count is not at all reliable. The child, Livie Frank
Mullinax, has a delayed TN birth certificate which states he was the
8th child. Appearances are that 4 might have died by 1900.
Taylor's
wife, Sarah Ann Jennings, was born May 31, 1853 in Wilson Co., TN. She
died on April 29, 1913 at Mahone, Wilson Co., TN. There were no death
certificates issued in 1913. She and Taylor "I. H." were buried at
Salem Cemetery in DeKalb Co., TN. Sarah's obituary is located on this
DeKalb Co., TNGenWeb site in the obituaries section.
