Biography

Jesse was born on Owen's Branch of Hunting Creek on Nov 2, 1814 in Iredell County, North Carolina. He was the son of "Sam" Mullis (John, whose nickname was "Sam" ) and Fanny Denny (Mullis). He died on Aug 5, 1905 in Vernon County, Missouri.^[1] and was interred in Woodfin Cemetery near Foster in Bates Co., MO>

He married Ruth Cralle in Preble Co. Ohio in 1840. After her death in 1860 in Knox County, Illinois, he married her sister, Amanda Cralle, to which union one child was born: Ida May Mullies. The marriage to Amanda was a disaster, ending in divorce in 1864. The court of Warren County, Illinois awarded Jesse sole custody of their daughter Ida. Later that year he married Mary (Byfield) Imel, a widow with children from a previous marriage and two more children were born: Henry Mason and Elfreda Florence. In 1866 Jesse and family settled in Bates County, Missouri at the confluence of Mine Creek and the Marais des Cygnes River (later Worland, MO. #MarriageRuth, #MarriageAmanda, #FIndAGrave

Jesse was a farmer throughout his lifetime, first acquiring his own farm ground in purchase of 40 acres in 1878 near Marvel Bridge on the Marais des Cygnes in Bates Co., and adding another adjacent 40 acres a few years later. He had an extensive apple orchard and kept 100 bee hives on his farm until at an advanced age he lived with his son Oliver, Julia Ann and family on their farm west of Old Walnut. These details from Bates Co. Land Records and Jesse's grandchildren: Maggie Mullies and Ida Jennings.^[2]

Jesse left his Iredell Co. home at 16, and in company of Mullis/Mullies uncles, aunts and cousins migrated to Indiana; He married Ruth Cralle in Preble Co.

Research Notes

We have not found the 1850 Census, yet though he was in Wayne Co. Ind. We have checked each of the other Census records and put sources on each of the children from these Census records. A new, possible daughter, Rachael A. Mullies appears when we do this. After Jesse's last wife died, he was living with his son, Oliver, and his family in 1900 in Bates, Missouri. In 1892 he applied for and was awarded a pension based on his son Samuel's service in the Civil War with Co. D. 7th Ill. Volunteer Cavalry, d. Union Hospital in Mephis, TN. Mar. 31st, 1864.
