MOSES G. MULLLINS,

Sec. 2, Centerview P. O., was born in Clark county, Kentucky, in the
year 1820.  His father, Anthony Mullins, moved to Clark county,
Kentucky, at an early day.  From thence, in 1826 he moved to Howard
county, this state, near where Rochefort now is.  He lived there about
seven years, teaching school and farming until the spring of 1834, when
he moved to Pettis county and located at a point twelve miles west of
where Sedalia now is.  At this place he died September 3, 1835.  The
subject of this sketch, Moses G. Mullins, was but fifteen years old, and
the oldest of seven children, when his father died, and the care of the
widowed mother and family devolved mainly upon him.  He lived at this
place and cared for his mother until he was twenty-six years of age,
when he was married to Kesiah McFarland, a native of Missouri, and they
moved to this county in 1847, and to his present residence in the spring
of 1850.  They had seven children, five daughters and two sons.  One
daughter died in infancy and one at about thirty years of age.  Mr.
Mullins lost his first wife April 6, 1876, and is now living with his
second.  He has been an influential member of the M. E. church since
1841, and has assisted in the organization of two churches.  He has 173
acres of land, 100 acres improved and balance wood-land.  His mother
remained a widow and is still living, aged 77 years.
