This week I have chosen to do Jasper Newton Mullins. He served in the Civil War and came home but died 3 years later at age 37. His wife Sarah lived as a widow until 1919 age 83. These prompts have been a good push for me to make blog post on different Ancestors.

Jasper married Sarah Elizabeth Borders on 9 October 1852 in Pulaski County, Indiana.

Hortensis Mullins 1866-1870
