Dickenson County Courthouse in Clintwood, VA. THIS IS MULLINS COUNTRY. Placed at its front is a large plaque commemorating John Mullins, Sr. (father to “Holly Creek John”), who served in the Revolutionary War. 25 August 2018.

“Holly Creek John” received his nickname because he settled on Holly Creek, near the courthouse. Clintwood is located in the head of Holly Creek.

Behind the Clintwood Baptist Church on High Street is the grave of “Holly Creek John” Mullins, son of John and Jane (Bailey) Mullins. There’s really no place to park along this narrow street, so you have to park at the Sleep Inn and Suites Hotel and walk back up the hill just a bit. 25 August 2018.

Up this way! These steps literally connect to High Street — parking right here is not really an option! 25 August 2018.

Straight ahead. For more information about the grave and cemetery, follow this link: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/64659784/john-mullins

I have not yet read all of it, but you have a very impressive collection of our “Mullins” history here for such a young man ! Thank you for your dedication and time it must have taken you to research so much of our history and sharing it in such a beautiful and understandable way !
Thanks, Sharon! I have plenty more here at home. My grandmother is a (90-year-old) Mullins.
Love your research!
