Richard m. Rebecca Berry January 12, 1809 in Pendleton Co., Kentucky. He was the son of Gabriel Mullins and Rachel Ann Ballard who migrated from Albemarle Co., Virginia to Kentucky about 1790 when he was five years old. He was a large landowner in Pendleton Co., owning some 6,000 acres on the waters of Grassy Creek, property in Campbell and Kenton Co., and in Covington, Kentucky. He owned and operated a mill on the Middle Fork of Grassy Creek. When younger, he would buy pigs in the vicinity, butcher and cure them, then take the meat to market, down the rivers to Licking, Ohio and Mississippi, and to New Orleans. A son-in-law, Benjamin Hensley, would go with him to help handle the boat, then they would walk back. He was a charter member and organizer of the Demossville Mason Lodge, which held their meetings in his home. He also helped to organize the school system in Pendleton Co. From the seventeen children he sired he had 114 grandchildren, thus a tremendous amount of descendants in Pendleton Co. and all across the United States. He, Rebecca Berry and possibly Mary Ingrahm are buried here in the Mullins cemetery on his homestead site. He had a large two story brick house until it began to need repair and it was downgraded to a story and half. The original house was built in 1830 from bricks made by his slaves, and torn down in 1973 by the Grassy Creek Christian Church to make room to build a parsonage.
