Subject: Re: David and SarahI'm glad you e-mailed when you did. My father-in-law has been down here to GA to visit this week and
with his help, we finally figured out which Frank Mullins it was who Dave was living with or was adopted
by. My father-in-law said he had always heard that Dave had left home at an early age for whatever
reasons and was working around the area on different farms, but that he kind of settled with Frank and
his wife. We finally know now that it was Francis "Frank" Mullins and Sarah Jane Hubbard who
raised Dave Maggard. Francis "Frank" was a son of Joseph M "Little Joe" Mullins and Mahala Shepherd.
Frank's brother John R Mullins was my mother-in-law's grandfather (her mother's father). Soooo...my
mother-in-law's grandfather's brother raised my father-in-law's grandfather. We even found in the 1900
Wise Co VA Census where Frank lived 7 houses away from where Dave and Sarah Leah lived. Here's

I'm not sure how you'd cite the source on the information except that my father-in-law had actually known these people during his lifetime and we just never had put two and two together. If you need to, just use my name or his as your source and I'll field any questions anyone has. Let me know if you need anything else Roxie.Tara Wallace-Maggard
