193. JOHN5 CLIFFORD BUTLER MULLIN (Mary4 Clifford, James3, George2, unknown Clifford1); born 18 July 1809 in Hardy County, Virginia; died 14 November 1881 in Moorefield, Hardy County, West Virginia.921 John apparently did not marry.

Censuses and other documents list John's name variously as John Clifford Butler Mullin, J. C. B. Mullin and John C. B. Mullin. In 1850, John was living with his father and siblings in the Mullin Hotel in Moorefield, Virginia, where John (#193) was the innkeeper.922 In 1880, John, as J. C. B., was living in the Moorefield area of Hardy County, West Virginia; also in his household in 1880 was a J. Smith (age 24), his wife Ann (age 25,), and their child Mary C. Smith (age 3); with no indication they were related to John.923 John's 1880 dwelling was next door to that of his nephew, Richard Winnifred Scott Mullin (see under William Mullin, #195). The 1880 federal census lists J. C. B. Mullin's father as being born in Maryland and his mother as being born in New Jersey, whereas John's sisters, Mary Jane and Ann Eliza, in a different household in 1880, report their father born in Pennsylvania and their mother born in New Jersey,924 see under Mary Jane Mullin (#196).

John C. B. Mullin was a Captain in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He enlisted as a Captain and was discharged as a Captain (dates not known). He was in Company H [Hardy County Blues], 25th Virginia Infantry. A note to his records reads: "J. C. B. Mullen (sic) 62th Va. Mtd. Inf."925 The history of the 25th Virginia Infantry covers the entire war, from the Battle of Rich Mountain in July 1861 to the final stages at Appomattox Court House in 1865. Major campaigns included the Battle of Second Manassas, Gettysburg, and The Battle of the Wilderness.926

From Hardy County History, by Robert Jay Dilger, Director, Institute for Public Affairs and Professor of Political Science, West Virginia University.
During the Civil War, most of Hardy County's residents were loyal to the South. The Hardy County Blues, commanded by Captain John C.B. Mullin, became part of the 25th Virginia Infantry under the command of Colonel J. M. Heck. The Hardy Greys, from Moorefield, was organized on March 23, 1861. In June of 1861, it was incorporated as Company F of the 33rd Virginia Infantry under the command of Brigadier General Thomas J. Jackson. Shortly after its formation, the 33rd Virginia fought at the battle of First Manassas (Bull Run). This is where General Jackson earned his famous nickname, "Old Stonewall."
According to "Notorious ancestors," authored by Linda Elsea, who descends from John Clifford Butler Mullin's brother William Mullin (#195):927

Capt. Mullin was in the Civil War…his home was in Moorefield, West Virginia. His father John Mullin owned a hotel… The Mullin Hotel located in Moorefield. The town changed hands 57 times during the war. It was said JCB SOLD horses to both sides…it has been told he had over a million dollars in gold and he buried it…He belonged to the Hardy Blues…he is buried in Moorefield and still has descendants there…the hotel is no more but the building is still there being used by Hester Industries [the ellipses do not indicate the omission of text].


The "Hardy Blues," or "Hardy County Blues," was Company B, 62nd Regiment of the Virginia Volunteer Infantry, Army of the Confederate States of America. They were called the Hardy County Blues because most of the men came from Hardy County.928

From "History - Potomac Highlands region of West Virginia;"929

During the Civil War, many of Hardy County's residents were loyal to the southern cause. The Hardy County Blues was first commanded by Captain John C. B. Mullin and became part of the 25th Virginia Infantry under the command of Colonel J. M. Heck.


195. WILLIAM5 WHITE MULLIN (Mary4 Clifford, James3, George2, unknown Clifford1); born 11 May 1814 in Hardy County; died 14 April 1867;930 married MILLIE MOORELAND; born circa 1817 in Virginia.931 In 1850 and 1860, William (enumerated as a farmer), Millie and family were living in the Moorefield area of Hardy County, Virginia.932 By 1870, William had died; but Millie and son Richard and Richard's family were still in the Moorefield area.933 In 1880, Millie, as Amelia, was living with her son Richard in Hardy County, West Virginia.934

Both Mary Jane and Julius are buried in Hebron Church Cemetery, Intermont, Hampshire County, West Virginia.937

In 1850, Julius, Mary Jane and children Mary E., Emma C., and John M. were living in Hampshire County, Virginia, where Julius was enumerated as a farmer.938 In 1860, the family was living in the Capon Springs area of Hampshire County, Virginia. At this time Julius was enumerated as a hotelkeeper with $15,000 real estate and $6,840 personal estate. David Waddle, age 64, possibly a brother of Julius, was also in the household in 1860. Slave schedules list slaves for Julius in 1850 and 1860.939

In 1880, Julius, Mary and daughters Mary E. White, Alice H. Waddle, and granddaughter Bettie White were living in the Cacapon area of Hampshire County, West Virginia.940 Julius was still enumerated as a hotel keeper. Mary Jane was listed as suffering from heart disease. Also with the family in 1880 was Anne E. Mullin, age 58, a sister of Mary Jane (Mullin) Waddle. The parents (John and Mary Clifford Mullin) of Anne E. and Mary Jane were reported born in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, respectively.

In 1850, Abraham, Martha and all children except Margaret were living in Greene Township, Clark County, Ohio, where Abraham was listed as a farmer.954 In 1880, Abraham and Matilda were still in Greene Township, Clark County; also in the household in 1880 were Isaac McCullogh (son of John and Margaret Jones McCullogh), farmer, born circa 1852 in Ohio, his wife Rachel and their child Ina A.

211. ROBERT5 CLIFFORD (Edward4, Charles3, James2, unknown Clifford1); born 23 March 1790 in Pennsylvania (undoubtedly Fayette County); died 14 April 1855, probably in Harrison County, Kentucky; he married NANCY AZBY on 3 January 1812 in Harrison County, Kentucky;956 she was born 14 January 1796; died 24 March 1851. Both Robert and Nancy (Nancy Jane?) are buried in Rocky Springs Cemetery, Harrison County.957 This cemetery is located at the corner of Rocky Springs Road and State Route 1842, about 7 miles northwest of Cynthiana, Harrison County, Kentucky (see Map 8).

Robert's will was written 4 April 1855 (10 days before he died), recorded 1 June 1855.958 He willed that his farm and personal property be sold and the proceeds be divided amongst his heirs, except his son Robert was to receive $300 "over and above" and "niece Jane Clifford" was to receive a $100 saddle (see under Charles Clifford, #213). Also mentioned were Robert's grandson William Clifford (see under John William Clifford, #964) and Samuel Levesque (husband of Robert's daughters Jane and Sarah), who was to be charged for items apparently already in Samuel's possession.

The inventory took place 27 December 1855 and the sale on the following day.959 The big purchase was 270 acres of land (the farm?) by William Clifford (#541) (and as indicated below, Robert Clifford, #542) for $8,925.25. In 1858, this purchase was recorded when Robert Clifford's executors, George Lemon and David Vannsdell, sold land on Twin Creek for $8,925 to Robert's sons William Clifford and Robert Clifford, Jr.960 No females were mentioned in this deed. According to this deed, the land was sold at public auction (that would be at the December 1855 sale) pursuant to the provisions of Robert Clifford's, Sr., will. In 1860, William and Robert, Jr., sold this land (at least 176 acres of it) for $11,040.75.961

Robert's wife Nancy was the daughter of Lindsey and Jane [-?-] Azby (also spelled Asby and Asbury). Robert was named as a son-in-law in Lindsey Azby's 1816 will: "… son-in-law Robert Clifford is to keep the tract of land whereon he now lives."962 Also mentioned were Lindsey Azby's wife, Jane, and daughters Nancy Azby, Rachel Azby (she married Robert's brother James Clifford, #212), Betsy (Elizabeth) Azby, Polly Azby, and Sally Azby. An 1858 deed between Hutchinsons gives some of the married names of Lindsey Azby's children:963 Betsy Lemon, Polly (Mary) Byers [should be Boyers; Esau Boyer (son of Casper and Elizabeth Lambert Boyers), born 20 December 1802, married Mary Azby],964 and Sally (Sarah) Azby who married John C. Hutchinson and had children Lindsey Hutchinson, Edward Hutchinson (his wife was Elizabeth), and John J. Hutchinson (deceased by 1858).965 Were the Cliffords and Hutchinsons related? See end note #965 for speculation about this.

One male over 16 and under 21 was first listed with Edward Clifford in the 1806 tax lists.966 This would have been Edward's son Robert. Robert was first taxed in Harrison County in 1813, for 50 acres of third rate land on Raven Creek; this land was entered, surveyed and patented to [-?-] Kennedy.967 In July 1814, Robert and brother James were listed in the sale bill for the estate of William Herring.968 In 1816, Robert was taxed for 100 acres of third rate land in the Rocky Springs area of Harrison County,969 and in 1817, Robert was appointed surveyor (similar to his father's appointment as overseer) of the road leading from "the rocky spring to grassy creek to the crossing of Twin Creek …"970 In 1816, Robert and wife Nancy sold about 60 acres of land on Raven Creek to George Ellis.971 In 1818 Robert was taxed in Harrison County for five and one half acres of land on the Ohio River water course, Gallatin County, Kentucky.

Robert Clifford was first named in the Harrison County federal censuses in 1820.972 Robert continued to be enumerated in Harrison County in 1830, 1840, and 1850.973 In the 1850 census, Robert was enumerated as a cabinet maker. Robert was a witness to the will of Evan Jones in 1821974-Evan's granddaughter Nancy was to marry Robert's brother Lindsey Clifford (#217) in 1833.

In 1832, Robert Clifford purchased land situated on Raven Creek in Harrison County, Kentucky, from Jacob Conrad (also spelled Coonrod).975 Robert was administrator of the estate of Jacob Conrad in 1835.976,977 For more on the Conrads, see end note #977. Raven Creek is located in west Harrison County (present-day Route 36 crosses the stream), in the area of Berry, Colemanville and Hells Half Acre. Twin Creek empties into Raven Creek and gives a general location of the Clifford's early tracts in Harrison County (see Map 8).

In December 1836, Robert sold about four acres of his land on Twin Creek to Juliann (Eckler)978 Ritcherson (Richardson) for $60, "land Juliann and her children had been living on … and furthermore said land is not to be subject to the payment of John Ritcherson's debts."979 According to James G. Faulconer (Kettering, Ohio),980 the preferred spelling for this Harrison County family is Richardson and I will spell it Richardson throughout. John and Juliann (Eckler) Richardson were the parents of Nancy Ann Richardson who married Alexander Clifford (#539). John and Juliann were also the parents of James E. Richardson whose son James William Richardson married (first) Frances Clifford (#1002) and (second) Hattie Clifford (#1003), daughters of John James and Susan (Marr) Clifford. The tenor of Robert Clifford's December 1836 land sale to Juliann Richardson would indicate problems between Juliann and her husband John Richardson, and this is confirmed in Faulconer's "The Richardsons of Harrison County." John and Juliann divorced in 1850.981 See end note #981 for more information on the Richardson family of Harrison County.

There was another connection between the Richardsons and the Cliffords. In 1817, Nancy Mason, infant orphan of Jacob Mason, deceased, chose Robert Clifford (#211) as her guardian, who thereupon entered into bond with George Henson, his security.982 Jacob Mason's wife was Rebecca (Richardson) Mason, a sister of the above John Richardson;983 in other words, the Nancy Mason who chose Robert Clifford as her guardian was a first cousin of Nancy Richardson who married Robert Clifford's son Alexander Clifford.

Possibly William was the William Clifford, born circa 1824, single, merchant, living with brother Alexander Clifford (A. L. Clifford) in the 1880 federal census for Harrison County.990 In 1900, a William Clifford, single, born August 1834 in Kentucky, was living alone in the Colemanville area of Harrison County, Kentucky.991 William Clifford, age 80, "uncle," was living with his nephew Hubbard Clifford (#988) in Bourbon County in 1910.

This Jane was enumerated in 1870 with who I initially thought were her siblings William and Robert Clifford. But we know that Robert and Nancy's first daughter was also named Jane. One explanation would be that Jane, either the one born 1812 or 1831-1832, had a second given name, for example Mary Jane. Another explanation, and the one I favor, is that the Jane living with Robert and Nancy was a niece of Robert and Nancy instead of a daughter. Robert in his 1855 will left a saddle "to my niece Jane Clifford." This Jane would probably have been a daughter of Charles and Ann (Baskill) Clifford (#213). Ann had died between 1834 and 1839. There was a Jane Clifford who married James Shirley, 8 September 1863, in Harrison County.994


212. JAMES5 CLIFFORD (Edward4, Charles3, James2, unknown Clifford1); born circa 1795 in Pennsylvania; died late 1860 or January 1861;995 married 29 January 1817 in Harrison County RACHEL AZBY;996 born circa 1794; died 14 July 1843; buried in Rocky Spring Cemetery, Harrison County, Kentucky.997 Rachel Azby was a daughter of Lindsey and Jane [-?-] Azby. Rachel's sister Nancy Azby married James's brother Robert Clifford. In the 1840 federal census, James was enumerated as James T. Clifford.998

My first record of James Clifford in Harrison County is July 1814 when James and brother Robert were listed in the sale bill for the estate of William Herring.999 James was first taxed in Harrison County in 1816; he continued to be taxed in Harrison County through 1828 when I stopped looking at the tax lists, but at no time during this interval was James taxed for land.1000 However, in 1827, James Clifford, presumably our James, purchased land in Harrison County from James McKee, who had previously, in 1807, sold part of his land to William McKee, brother of James McKee.1001 In 1835, James Clifford purchased land on Twin Creek, Harrison County, from George Stumph (Stump?).1002 James was first named in the Harrison County federal census in 1820; he continued to be enumerated in Harrison County through 1860.1003

James Clifford's estate inventory and sale bill was reported 10 January 1861. Robert Clifford, presumably his son, was Executor. Cliffords making purchases were John J. Clifford (son; his one purchase was the gun of his father's), R. Clifford (son Robert Clifford), B. Clifford (I can not place this B. Clifford; could he be Levi?), and Liza Clifford (daughter, Elizabeth). Most items of the $294 estate were purchased by son Robert (a major item being 1000 pounds of pork) and daughter Elizabeth (including most of the livestock). Other purchasers included John Farlaw, Samuel Beard, Ben Hume, A. Day (perhaps Alfred Day who was the administrator of Mary Chandler Clifford's, #215, estate), Mouse Ashbrook, R. King, William Terry, W. Berry, E. D. Cason, Guy Bryant and Charles Norton (husband of James's daughter Frances Clifford).

 
Children of James and Rachel (Azby) Clifford:1004

  543 i. Elizabeth6 Clifford; born circa 1817-1819. In 1860, Elizabeth, unmarried, was living with her father and brother Robert in Harrison County.1005
+   544 ii. Robert Clifford; born 24 January 1824; died 18 October 1906; apparently did not marry.
+   545 iii. John James (also Jeems) Clifford; born 22 December, 1825; died 8 December 1901; married Sara Jane Marr.
+   546 iv. Hulda Clifford; born circa 1828; married Nicholas Day.
  547 v. Sarah Clifford; born circa 1834. A Sarah Clifford married, 28 November 1859, B. B. Howe in Harrison County.1006 There was a Sarah [-?-] who married Thomas Waldon/Walden. In 1850, Robert Clifford (#544), son of James and Rachel (Azby) Clifford, was living with Thomas and Sarah (age 22) Waldon and family. Possibly Thomas Waldon's wife was Sarah Clifford, brother of Robert, although birth years for Sarah, taken from censuses, do not mesh.
  548 vi. Ann Clifford (possibly Ann M. Clifford); born circa 1836. In 1860, Ann was enumerated with her sister Hulda and Hulda's husband Nicholas Day and family in Harrison County.1007 1008
+   549 vii. Frances (Franey) Clifford; born circa 1838; married Charles R. Norton.
  550 viii. Levi P. Clifford; born circa 1841. In 1860, Levi was enumerated with his sister Frances and her husband Charles Norton in Harrison County. Also in 1860, Levi Plusett? Clifford sold to his brother Robert Clifford, Jr., his interest in about 50 acres of land, "of his father James Clifford" and his interest in about 70 acres of land of his deceased mother Rachel on Twin Creek, "part of the Rocky Springs tract."1009
      Note: there was a Nancy Clifford who married James Quinn September 1837 in Harrison County.1010 If the marriage date is correct she could have been a daughter of Robert Clifford (#212) but was probably James Clifford's (#213) daughter and married James Quinn.

213. CHARLES5 CLIFFORD (Edward4, Charles3, James2, unknown Clifford1); born circa 1800-1802 in Kentucky;1011 probably died between 1860 and 1870; married (first) 28 February 1824 in Harrison County, Kentucky, ANN BASKILL;1012 married (second)18 November 1839 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, CATHERINE STEWART,1013 born circa 1810-1819.1014

In 1818, Charles was listed in the Harrison County tax list, but no tax was indicated. In 1825, Charles was first taxed for land in Harrison County, 52 acres of third rate land; this land was originally entered, surveyed and patented to [-?-] McMillan.1015 Charles Clifford was first named in the Harrison County federal census of 1830.1016

I have not found documents listing names of children of Charles and first wife Ann (Baskill) Clifford. Since they were married for at least 10 years, they could have had several children. In 1830, there were two males and one female all under five in the household of Charles and Ann. One child of Charles and Ann Clifford was probably Jane Clifford, born circa 1831-1832 and enumerated with Charles's brother Robert Clifford in 1850-see under Robert Clifford (#211) for more information.

Another child of Charles and first wife Ann (Baskill) Clifford was probably Edward Clifford, farmer, born circa 1826, who was living in Gallatin County, Kentucky, in 1860.1017 In 1860, Charles's brother Lindsey was also living in Gallatin County. Both Lindsey and Edward were living in the Warsaw Post Office district, although Lindsey and Edward were about 150 households apart. Edward Clifford's wife was Alenda [-?-], born circa 1828. Their children in 1860 were (1) Elizabeth Clifford, born circa 1850; (2) Thomas F. Clifford, born circa 1852; (3) Ann Clifford, born 1853; (4) Alice Clifford, born circa 1855; and William Clifford, born circa April 1860. Also in the household was Edward Furnish, born circa 1832, laborer.

Ann (Baskill) Clifford was still alive and married to Charles in 1834, at the time of the Clifford heirs quit claim document.1018 I could not find Charles in the 1840 federal census for any Kentucky county. But he probably was in either Pendleton County, having married Catherine Stewart in 1839 in Pendleton County, or in Harrison County.

In 1850, Charles, Catherine and children by Catherine were in Harrison County.1019 They were living next door to Charles's brother John Jackson Clifford (#218) and his family. In 1855, a note was charged against Charles Clifford at the inventory of his brother Robert's estate. Since Charles name was not amongst those making purchases at the accompanying sale, he probably was not at the 1855 sale.1020 In 1860 Charles and Catherine were in Pendleton County,1021 where Charles was listed as a farmer but with no real estate. I could not find Charles in Kentucky in 1870.

The children (born in the 1840s) listed for Charles in the 1850 and 1860 federal censuses would be children by Charles's second wife Catherine (Stewart) Clifford. Not knowing the given names of Charles and first wife Ann Clifford's children has complicated matters in associating Cliffords enumerated with non-Clifford families of the Harrison County federal censuses.

 
Known children of Charles and second wife Catherine (Stewart) Clifford:1022

  554 iv. Henry Clifford; born circa 1849-1850.
