I have the breakdown for the early Census reports through 1840. I may add them here soon. I am definitely going to include these in her husband’s (Booker) profile. The family members can be logically identified based on the age brackets. Census reports that do not indicate relationships can be logically accepted when other sources back the listings (ie birth, marriage, death, deeds etc). William Mullins did NOT marry a Katherina Elizabeth Varner. Unless John Valentine cited sources, his book is only a reference, not a source. At a glance, there’s some erroneous information in this profile.
