- Descendants of Matthew Mullins of King William County, Virginia by Cornelius Carroll
1. Matthew Mullins b. ca 1680 is listed in "English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records" by Louis des Cognets, Jr., Title Upon Indian Leases (June 1699) with 150 acres that had been leased to Thomas Ward and then assigned to him. In "Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 1695-1732" in Patent Book 9, page 45; Matthew Mullins received 268 acres in Pamunkey Neck, King and Queen County, Virginia, beginning at the mouth of a branch of Cannoe Branch of Nickatawance, on the Mill Road, near the head of Mullen's Branch, 25 April 1701, for the transport of 6 persons: Lydia Glover, Josias Marshall, Joseph Boston, Robert Buttris, Matthew Mullins, and Thomas Gears. King and Queen County was formed in 1691 from New Kent County. King William County was formed in 1702 from King and Queen County. In the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls of Virginia, Matthew Mullins paid quit rents on 150 acres in King William County, Virginia. In order for Matthew Mullins to be mentioned in the Indian leases and to have obtained 268 acres in 1701 for the transport of 6 people (which apparently included himself), he would have had to have been born ca 1680. Under the headright system an individual was given 50 acres for each person they transported to Virginia.
