Dear Linda,
My g.g.g.grandparents were Ira N. and Lucy (Mullin) Nash. Lucy (born in 1807) had an
elder sister named Sina Mullin who was born in the 1790s and who married a Mr. Bosewell
later lived in Winston County, Mississippi. My g.g.g.grandparents Ira N. and Lucy
(Mullin) Nash lived just about 12-15 miles to the south in NE Neshoba County. My
g.g.grandfather John J. N. Nash, b. 1829, was their eldest son.... their eldest daughter
was Martha M.B. Nash (b. circa 1834-1835) who married Mr. Thomas B. Jones also of Neshoba
County.....
Martha M.B.(Nash) and Thomas B. Jones's daughter was Carriedora Jones born around 1855
who married Murrah Calhoun Smyth of Winston, County in the 1880s..... they had a number of
children including a daughter Ira Willie Smyth who married Caldwell Calhoun Capperton of
Winston County you can see them and family on the 1910 or 1920 census there.
Now getting back to sisters Sina (Mullin) Bosewell who was born in the early 1790s and her
younger sister Lucy (Mullin) Nash who was born in 1807.... they had a brother named Ira
Mullin (b. circa 1799) who moved his family from Madison, Mississippi to Gonzales County,
Texas in the 1840s.... and later his neice, that is his sister Lucy (Mullin) Nash's
2nd daughter Fannie Nash and Fannie's husband Ben Hunt also moved to Gonzales County,
Texas... but in the 1860s.
Well, I hope this helps somehow; interesting about the unussual first name of
"Sina".... and the possible Mullin-Caperton surname connection and the Mullin
and Cappertons in Winston County, MS and your Missippi and Texas connections.... let me
know if this all fits in to your family somehow.
