THE THOMAS PATRICK MULLINS
FAMILY
OF
GRANBURY, HOOD COUNTY, TEXAS
as told by
Vance James Maloney
of the
A former neighbor of the
Mullins Family, who conceived the idea of writing
a brief history of this
family as a program to be given
at the Hood County
Historical Society.
Put out in this form,
September 1973
The intent of this brochure
is to give an account of the colorful career of Johnnie Mullins, and, of his
brother, Joseph Anderson Mullins.
Preceding the story of these two brothers, a very brief history is given
of the father, Thomas Patrick, Sr., and of Nannie E. Terrell Mullins, the
mother, together with a few words about each of the other children of the
family. I am sure there is much more
that could be written about each one of the family, and, as you read these
pages, you may think of other incidents that would add to the interest if they
had been put in, but what was put in was all we had before us at the time of
writing this account. V.J.M.
This document was
obviously a labor of love for Mr. Maloney. I spoke with his son, Dr. Vance
Maloney, Jr., on October 27, 2003.
Dr. Maloney informed me that his father died November 9, 1973, very
shortly after he reached age 80. It
is apparent that he died about two months after he completed this document.
It is not known if he ever presented this to the Historical
Society. Dr. Maloney did not
express any objection to making this document available via the internet on a
“for free” basis. This document was
digitalized and reformatted from a copy of the original document. It is not known where the original
document now is. Generally the only
changes made are those of minor reformatting nature or correcting a
misspelled word. These are not noted. Changes of substance or questions of
correctness are included with footnotes located at the end of this
document. It was not and is not the
intent to rewrite this document but just to make it available. One of my brothers, Albert
Biggs, has been the unofficial holder of this document for many years. He has made untold copies for Noble
Smith. His support and help has made
the digitalized copy of the document possible. Susie and Mike Mullins have
been both encouragers and supporters for this effort. As proud members of the
Mullins family we also wish to make the family history available. Tommy R. BiggsGreat-Grandson of Thomas
