My relationship to Anna Mullins:
Me
Virginia Marie Stalls (mother)
James Paul Stalls, Jr (granddaddy)
Minnie Virginia Richards (g-grandmother)
Jerome E Richards (2nd g-grandfather)
Caroline McQueen (3rd g-grandmother)
Peter McQueen (4th g-grandfather)
Ann McQueen (4th great aunt, Peter’s sister)
Virginia Wood (1st cousin 5x removed, Ann’s daughter)
Anna Mullins (2nd cousin 4x removed, Virginia’s daughter)
Anna Mullins was, as far as I can tell, the first child and only daughter born to David Hill Mullins (1822-1880) and Virginia Wood (1833-1919). She was born in June of 1854 in White Sulphur Springs, Meriwether County, Georgia.
The first census Anna appears on is the 1860 census enumerated in White Sulphur Springs, Meriwether County, Georgia. She is shown as 5 years of age. She is living with her father listed as HD Mullins (farmer, age 40 years) and her mother listed as Virginia Mullins (age 25 years). She also has a little brother listed as Hilliard Mullins (age 1 year).
It took me a while to find Anna on the 1870 census, and then verify it was actually her, but I did it! She appears that year on the census enumerated in Winston Township, Forsyth County, North Carolina. She is listed as 16 years of age and a student at the Salem Female Academy. The only information I had to go on at first was that she was from Georgia. Once I contacted Salem Academy (which, by the way, is still open and has a loooong and rich history…and excellent record keeping!) they confirmed that Anna Mullins listed on the census was the correct Anna. 
The information they sent to me, besides photos of the catalog she appears in (catalogs were used prior to yearbooks, apparently) is:
Anna Mullins
Born 1854
Parent or Guardian: D.H. Mullins (this is David Hill Mullins, her father)
Address: LaGrange, Troup Factory, GA (interesting….)
Came: 10/29/1869
Left: Dec. 1872
So, Anna left school at the end of 1872 and returned to Georgia. The family was living in Militia District O’Neal’s Mill in Troup County, Georgia at the time, with David employed as a farmer, and very wealthy.
On October 19, 1873 Anna married Zachariah Hardy in Troup County, Georgia. I haven’t yet found the actual marriage record/license, but I am working on it!
In 1880 Anna and Zachariah are found living in Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia. Anna is listed as 24 years of age and keeping house. Zachariah is listed as 30 years of age and a “ware house clerk”. They also had two sons: Arthur (age 6 years) and Winston (age 2 years).
There is, of course, no census for 1890 (boo!).
Sometime between 1880 and 1900 Zachariah died, though I don’t know where and I haven’t located his burial spot yet.
In 1900 Anna is living back in White Sulphur Springs, Meriwether County, Georgia next door to her mother Virginia. Anna is listed as Annie, 45 years of age, having been born in June of 1854. She is listed as a widow. Living with her are her son Arthur (a farmer, age 25 years) and her daughter Kate (age 17 years).
And that is the last I can find on Anna Mullins.
I cannot find a death date for her. I assume she died in White Sulphur Springs prior to 1910. Her son Arthur was married with a child and living with another family, and her daughter Kate was living with Virginia. I cannot find a burial spot for Anna, which really annoys me since, judging by the personal and property value of her family members, there is no reason why a headstone could not have been afforded for her. I think that she may be buried in the Mullins Cemetery in one of the two unmarked graves. Another place where she might be buried is in the Trinity Methodist Church cemetery down the road from Mullins Cemetery Road. Her son Winston is buried there, so it’s a possibility that she might be there without a headstone. One last place that she might be is in the Hamilton Cemetery in Harris County, Georgia where her son Arthur is buried. Again, possibly without a headstone. I cannot locate her daughter Kate after 1910, so I have no clue where she might be buried, if she ever married, etc.
UPDATE: I ened up finding Kate after I posted this (isn't that always how it happens?). She married Pleasant Theodore McCutchen. I'm still looking for her burial spot, but I'm thinking it might be in Franklin, Georgia since it seems the McCutchen family owned a newspaper there.
