The marriage record dated 4-26-1832 in Pike Co., KY stated groom Solomon Mullins' father was Booker and bride Dorcas Kelly's mother was Dorcas. Even though Dorcas Kelly used the surname of her mother's first husband John Kelly, he was not her biological father. Her biological father was William Little. Consequently, Dorcas' true name was Dorcas Little. When Dorcas' daughter Lydia Maynard died, Lydia's death certificate showed her mother's maiden name was "Darkey Little", which suggests Dorcas Kelly or Little's father was William Little. William Little was a descendant of the Mayflower passenger Richard Warren. The Little family can trace it's lineage to William Little, Jr. who married Elizabeth Church who was the daughter of Benjamin Church, Esq. who married Elizabeth Warren who was the daughter of the Mayflower passenger Richard Warren.

Dorcas Mullins' daughter who was also named Dorcas married Solomon Mullins and she was included on the census records as shown below:
