Original of this Muster Roll is in possession of Lucy Bedford Mullins Young (Mrs. W.H.), Columbus, Texas, daughter of ** M.J. Mullins.  Captain Allison gave it  to another daughter, Lou Mullins Rowley (Mrs. Spencer Ellsworth) in the presence of her niece, Pearl VanDyke Smith (Mrs. Irby) about 1912 – probably at the Mullins family home near Clarksville, Texas.  This copy made Oct. 7, 1962 by Dorothy Fry Rowley (Mrs. Spencer Ernest) with known errors in spelling on the original uncorrected.  Where the handwriting was illegible it was underscored or questioned (?) on this copy.

In 1963 a notebook of Lou Mullins Rowley was found with the following information source unknown:
