State Census Cobb County, Georgia, 1834

The census taken under the act of 1833 and received at the Executive Department on March 22, 1834, showed 1576 white inhabitants of Cobb County.[1]  The census was certified by Ferdinand Jett on March 4, 1834, and certified on March 11 by Enoch R. Mills, Clerk of the Inferior Court.  All that was recorded was their name and the number of white persons in the family.  The following, of interest to this research, were listed, in the order enumerated; most are separated by other families:

MULLINS, John D.        3   John married "Vicey" Whitehead back in Hall County in 1827.  On a later census John states he was born in Kentucky

CLARK, Caleb              6   Caleb had married Polly MULLINS back in Hall County in 1828.  She is likely the sister of John D. Mullins

WHITEHEAD, Thomas  3    There were 3 in the family of Thomas Sr, and 5 in the family of Thomas Jr.  Most likely related to "Vicey" above

HARPER, George         5    George W. Harper testified about Bud in his RWPA in 1854

BLACKSTOCK, Wilson F.   2    Wilson F. Blackstock attested to Bud’s Will in 1846, in Cobb County

MULLINS, Burgis          8    Burgess moved here from SC where he resided in 1830.  He is Bud's son

MULLINS, Buda           3    This is Bud and is the same number of people in the 1830 census, which probably includes Thomas, and Bud’s wife

MULLINS, Ausburn       9    This is Osborn and he is Bud’s son with seven children at this time

MULLINS, Samuel       4    Samuel is Bud’s son with two children at this time.  Only one child’s name born before 1834 has been found – Nancy

            J.D. MULLINS, Osborne MULLINS and Samuel MULLINS are mentioned as some of the early settlers arriving in Cobb County from late 1832 on.[2]  In the Superior Court records for 1835, Cobb County, Georgia, Osborn MULLINS served on the Grand Jury for the April term.
