"This family is an importation from NC, and a good importation it is - would like to have several others such. The first of the name in this county was the late Colonel William S. Mullins, followed a few years later by his brother, the late Dr. James C. Mullins, and from these two brothers came all by that name now in the county.
Their parents were Fayetteville, NC people. It is said their father [John Mullins] wa a merchant in Fayetteville, and did not suceed in making a fortune for his children - only enough to educate them - three sons, William S., James C. and Henry; one daughter, as known to the writer, Ida, who became the wife of E. B. Owens, of this county, and another daughter, who became the wife of a Mr McNeill, who finally settled in Horry.
It seems the greatest ambition of their father was to educate his children, a very laudable ambition." page 506, A History of Marion County
