Son of John and Althenia Cade Mullins. James married (1) Artemisia DeBerry on November 19, 1853 in Marlboro County, and (2) Sarah Florence Moody on May 17, 1871.

MARION - Dr. James C. Mullins died at his residence in town on the 23d Inst, from the effects of a stroke of paralysis. The afternoon before his death he was out on the streets, talking to his friends and seemingly as well as usual, but his health for the last year or two had not been good.

Dr. Mullins was one of the most prominent physicians who have ever practiced in this community. From early manhood up to old age he followed his profession among the people of Marion with eminent success, becoming universally beloved for his skill and gentleness with the sick. every resident of the town feel sincerely bereaved at his departure, and Ian Maclaren's incomparable picture of Weelum Maclure is thought of in connection with our "beloved physician."

His funeral occurred today from the Episcopal Church of which he wa a lifelong communicant. Rev. James M. Magruder officiated at the obsequies.

Published in the Columbia Daily Register, December 27, 1897

"After graduating in medicine, James came to SC for the practice of his profession, about 1851, and located near Parnassus, in Marlboro County. After his marriage to Artemisia, they moved to Marion just before the war. He went to the war as an army surgeon, and remained therein till the end at Appomattox.

Dr. Mullins was an excellent physician. Up to a short time before his death, he did an immense practice and had the confidence of the entire community. For the last year or two of his life, there seemed to be a failure of his mind - his mental powers gave way." - Sellers History of Marion County.

James had three sons with his first wife, Artemsia DeBerry: Benjamin R., Henry and Johnson. He had three sons and one daughter with his second wife, Florence: R. Randolph, Frank K., Charles Woods, and Florence."

"Below is a biography of Dr. Mullins which I [F. Terry Hambrecht, M.D.] have put together from my research notes. His experience during the Civil War was both interesting and sad in that he lost both his wife and a brother during this time."
