I have more info on the Mullinex, family who married the daughter Anne Rhea of Mary Edington and William Barclay

If you all have any info on the above people to clear up their birth place, as well as dates, please post to list.

The info I have on the last 3 says they were all b in Tn. which is possible, but not clear.

This info was provided to me by Vicky Davis of Hueytown, AL in 1996
