Butler County, Alabama, Voters, 1820
Job Mullins and John Murphy as Neighbors
Page 6 of The Heritage of Butler County contains a list of voters in the 1820 elections for constables and justices of the peace, but the list is in alphabetical order and does not indicate to which districts the names belonged.
Woody Murphy, another of Wilson's descendants, provided the image and transcription of this 1820 Voter List showing both Job Mullins and John Murphy to be in the same militia district of only 27 voters. This proximity makes it almost certain that Job Mullins was the husband of Sarah Murphy Rhodes mentioned in the 1856 deed from John Murphy's widow, Sarah, to Wilson Murphy. (A Job Mullins married a Sarah Murphy 02 Oct 1815, Jones County, Georgia.) Note also that in the same district's voter list were David, Willliam and John Carter, Isaac and Thomas Hill and Jesse Womack.
