John and Susannah had (at least) the following children:[1]
- i. Joseph Mullins, b. 2 March 1739 in Amelia County, VA

- vi. Thomas Mullins
- vii. Agnes Mullins, b. ca 1757 in Virginia, d. prior to 1810 in Georgia

Research Notes
- I've just spent about 5 hours searching every John Mullins/Mullens/Mullen, b. 1718 married to Susannah/Savannah profile at Ancestry & the other sites and there are NO sources for Meigs - nothing at all, not even a neighbor. The case for Morton is circumstantial but convincing. Morton is a signer (witness) on the will of John & he owned property next to John - he is of the right age to be Susannah's father. Up until the 1810 and 1820 census in Charlotte County, we see Morton and Mullens families, mixed on an alphabetical list. 8 April 2019 SJ Baty.
- After a lengthy autosomal DNA search today I was unable to find very few Meigs connections and most were too distant to be good matches. However, the number of Morton matches I get are many, many from the same region and time suggesting a good Morton match. Baty-260 13:25, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Susannah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Susannah:

Categories: Mullins Name Study
I propose that we merge into the Morton surname. It is a remote possibility that Morton will be able to be proven but there is absolutely no evidence and probably no chance that Meigs will be.
Mullins researcher Cornelius Carroll suggests that Susannah Morton is John's wife: "John Mullins witnessed a deed from Jonathan Hansford on 25 Nov. 1744 in Brunswick County, Virginia---the land was located on the North side of the Staunton River where John Mullins and Joseph Morton lived in Lunenburg County."
It may be that the name Morton will never fully be proven but it is most likely - and the only name of two that is sourced.
1) She could have married twice. In that case, was her Last Name at Birth Meigs or Morton?
2) John Mullins married twice to two different Susannahs. Additional research needs to be done to determine which of this situations (or something altogether different!) applies.
