Notes for ABRAHAM POTTER:
Abraham Potter was born about 1745 in Rowan Co., NC
according to his Revolutionary War pension papers.
He died after 1837 in Pike Co., KY. His exact
relationship to our Potter family remains unknown but, it is
believed by many Potter family researchers that
Abraham Potter is the patriarch of the families included here.
Our search for Abraham's parents continue. Also mentioned
in his pension papers is that he had lived in
Surry Co., NC as well as KY. We have not been able to
locate any reference to him in Surry Co., NC census
records. We do know that Abraham Potter first shows up
in Kentucky in the 1820 Floyd (now Pike) County
census records. If you have any information on Abraham
or his parents please share this knowledge with us!
The picture was taken in 1997 at the golf course in
Breaks, VA., which is the location of the original family
cemetery. It is at this spot that Abraham Potter is
believed to be buried. The tombstone is almost totally
engulfed by this large cedar tree. The family is
awaiting the arrival of a new tombstone and a dedication
service is planned for this patriot of the
Revolutionary War.

Notes for IRA MULLINS:
Killed in Pound Gap Massacre.
Ira Mullins born February 8, 1857 in Kentucky, the son
of
John and Martha Mullins of Pike County. Ira was a
small time merchant, but moonshiner by
trade. He married Louranza "Lou Ann" (Estep), May 10,1879 in Letcher
County. Sometime previous Ira Mullins'
trade of moonshining had led him into a skirmish with revenue agents. During
this battle he had been severely shot,
an injury which resulted in his being
paralyzed, unable to walk or to even feed himself. One of the revenue agents causing Mullins to
experience a lot of trouble was none other than Dr. Marshall Benton
Taylor. One night someone fired into
Ira's bedroom window. Mullins barely
escaped injury as the bullet lodged in his bedclothes, setting his bed on fire.
Ira took the shot into his bed as a
warning. Assuming the culprit of the deed was Dr.
Taylor, Ira took steps to remedy the
problem. Rumors carried over the
mountains that since he was unable to carry out the deed of ending his troubles on his own, Ira was
offering gunmen$300.00 Doc learned of the threat and claimed he couldn't have
shot
into Ira's house because he was doctoring that night
in Kentucky. Ellen Alley confirmed her daughter was expecting and Taylor
himself had been their guest for about a month. On May 14, 1892, that one of
the most horrible crimes of the area occurred. It was between 9 and 10 o'clock
in the morning when Ira began a trip to his home at Pound, Virginia. Heading a
heading a group of eight people, he left the home of his
brother-in-law, Wilson Mullins, who lived at the mouth
of Cane Creek Branch, in Kentucky. Wilson's eleven year old daughter Mindy
started out on this trip, but was taken to her grandmother, Patsy (Potter)
Mullins' house. She cried to go with them and Wilson stopped at a store, buying
a can of peaches to soothe her. He opened the peaches and let her eat them and
drink the juice. Wilson told Mindy to be a good girl and that they would be
back soon. Mindy remained with her grandmother and this was the last time she
saw her father alive.
Now seven in number, they were making their way home
to Pound,Virginia and would cross the mountain by way of Pound Gap.The gap,
originally called "Sounding Gap", is a high pass at the head of
Elkhorn Creek, near where the present day town of Jenkins, Kentucky is now
located. Travel over these steep
rough roads was slow and laborious, but they had made
good time. Though they had stopped two or three times during their trip, it was
just after noon when the party neared the crest of the mountain.
Wilson, who was a son of Marshall "Big Foot"
Mullins and had married Ira's sister, led the procession riding on horseback.
John Chappel, a handyman for Ira, was driving the wagon, and Ira's wife,
Louranza (Estep) Mullins, sat beside Chappel on the wagon seat. Ira Mullins was
partly sitting up on a pallet in the back of the wagon on top of a load of hay.
Two young boys, Ira's fourteen year old son, John Harrison Mullins, and
Greenberry Harris, the son of Jemima Harris were walking just behind the wagon.
Wilson's wife, Jane Mullins, rode on horseback, beside or just behind the boys.
Hidden and unseen underneath the hay was a wagon load of `wildcat Liquori. It
was about one o'clock in the afternoon the Mullins family
neared the site that is today known as "Killing
Rock", about one fourth to one half mile from the top of the mountain.
Near the right side of the road there were two rocks about four or five feet in
height. Between these rocks was a separation of several feet, which formed a
natural opening. A wall had been built up between the two large rocks to about
the height of a man's waist. Branches from pine, maple and
chestnut trees, had been cut and placed to cover the
opening. The weather was warm and the leaves had begun to wilt, giving the
appearance they had been there for several days.Concealed behind the rocks and
branches were the assassins who opened fire on the Mullins family as they came
into range.
When the shooting commenced, from the right side and
above the road, Wilson was riding beside the wagon. A thunderous roar of
gunfire exploded from behind the rocks. In a matter of seconds, bullets
penetrated the horses, the wagon and it's passengers. The air was filled with
black powder smoke from the guns; the ground became covered with blood. Even
the team of horses pulling the wagon were struck by the gunfire and fell to the
ground dead.
Ira Mullins instantly suffered eight shots to his
body, two wounds in his chin, one in the temple of his head, one in his
shoulder, one in his wrist, one in his side, one in his bowels, one in the
thighs and legs. The shot to his side passed through his body. Louranza Mullins
was struck by several shots about her breast and knees. Ira Mullins' fifteen
year old son, John Harrison Mullins, was walking with Greenberry Harris just
behind the wagon saw one of the horses go down. Wilson sought cover and was
about fifteen feet up the road when he staggered and fell to the road, shot
dead in his tracks. Jane saw one of the team horses go down, turned to see her
husband start to run, then fall. She was either thrown or got off her horse on
her own and her horse ran off toward Virginia. Wilson lay under a tree and Jane
ran to him, she turned him over on his side, trying to ease his pain. Louranza
managed to climb out of the wagon and scrambled under it as the lead rained
down on them. Mortally wounded, Louranza yelled for Jane to come to her. Amid
the melee of gunfire, Jane hurried as quickly as possible to her aid. She
helped Louranza to sitting position, her back up against the wagon. She managed
to utter her last words, "They have killed me." Terribly frightened,
Jane tried to see if any of the others were still alive. The air was heavy,
filled with black powder smoke from the blazing guns. During a slight cessation
of gun fire she looked toward the rocks where the shooting was coming from. As
the smoke cleared, she saw three men standing twenty to twenty five steps from
the wagon. They were concealed behind the rocks, wearing veils that covered
their faces. She could see them from the waist up and the lower part of their
faces were visible. She screamed, "Boys, for the Lord's sake, don't shoot
any more, you have killed them all now. Let me stay here with them till someone
finds us." The men called out to her three or four times cursing and
threatening her. Jane thought she heard three voices yell and took the first
voice to be Calvin Fleming's. She thought one of the voices she heard was might
have been Doc Taylor. One of the men, possibly Henan Fleming, asked that her
life be spared, then another of the killers yelled, " Damn you, take to
the road and leave or we will kill you, too." Taking them at their word,
left the scene of the murders as the killers had advised. She made her way back
to Elkhorn, in Kentucky, arriving about four o'clock. John Harrison Mullins,
the only other person to live through the melee, had escaped in a different
direction and came into Pound, Virginia about 2 o'clock. Jane and John Harrison
Mullins, were the only two able to escape the massacre. Harrison located Jemima
Harris and George Francisco, telling them of the events on the mountain. Jemima
immediately started to the place where the shooting had occurred, and on the
way passed the house of Floyd Branham. She stopped at the Branham house and
asked Floyd's wife, Elizabeth, go with her.
When Jemima Harris and Elizabeth Branham arrived, the
site they came upon was dreadful. There were numerous bullet holes in the
wagon; both the horses pulling it had been and killed. They lay bleeding in the
road, still hitched. Ira Mullins was still atop his pallet in the wagon plainly
showing shots to his face and temple. Jemima discovered her son, Greenberry,
lying in the wagon, shot twice in the head. The body of John Chappel was also
in the wagon, his body showing evidence of six shots. Wilson Mullins was lying
on his face in the road about fifteen steps from the wagon. Louranza Mullins
was found about five feet from the wagon, lying flat on her back. Her legs were
either broken or crushed and doubled back under her, with her apron thrown up
over her head. In a pocket attached to string belt and worn under her dress and
in a little handbag, she had carried about $1,000.00 in cash. They discovered
the belt of the money pocket had been cut and her handbag was gone. It was
later disclosed that the killers had hidden all the money except $100.00. Each
of them took $25.00 to buy themselves a new suit of clothes.The purse was found
cut to pieces, but the lost bag of money was never recovered.
Robert Mullins lived about three miles from Pound Gap
and arrived at the scene about an hour and a half after the killings. Jemima
Harris and Elizabeth Branham had already been there. John Vint Bentley, who
lived in Kentucky, was also at the scene that same afternoon. They examined the
body of Ira Mullins and saw the additional gun shots to his shoulder, wrist,
side, bowels and legs. The wounds were large and looked like Winchester or
pistol wounds, but they could not tell the size. They searched the area where
the assassins had taken shelter to shoot. The brush placed in front of the
rocks was wilted and looked like it might have been cut a week. There was a
little path leading off from there to the road, but they saw
no tracks. They discovered six cartridge shells under
a small heap if pine knots and all were of the same 45 X 75 calibre. The
cartridges were found at the place where the parties were said to have stood
while doing the shooting. They looked like they had been laid down and covered
with a few leaves.
Bentley and Mullins knew of two guns of that calibre,
one belonged to Henry Adams, who lived about four miles away, and the other to
James Potter. They also found several small pieces of green veil, along with an
old army haversack. Jane would later say she was not "point blank
certain" that it was Doc Taylor she saw, but thought it was. She had
stayed overnight with him about seven years earlier and had heard him talk. She
also felt she could swear positively to a person with his face covered down to
his mouth and she could see him from the waist up. She was able to recognize
Taylor mostly by his looks. But for a time she kept silent on what she had
seen. She was advised by a magistrate of the law to keep her mouth shut until
she could be protected by the officers of the law.
Mat and Sarah Blevins were neighbors and friends of
the Mullins family. They lived about two miles away and heard of the killings
the same day they happened. The next day they went to visit Jane and offer
their condolences. The bodies of the slain had been taken to Wilson and Jane's
house where
they were washed and dressed for burial. Some of the
bodies had been placed on the front porch, since there wasn't enough room for
five coffins in the house. A large fire was built in the yard and kept burning
to keep the flies away. It was thought that the Fleming brothers may have
initially let the information out. But eventually the evidence came together
and the stories spread. Suspicion that had to this time been
random, was now centered around Doc Taylor and the
Flemings as the prime suspects.
Area residents began to talk, if only in whispers,
about the crime. Doors that before were never locked were now shut and bolted.
They began to ponder the fact that after the slayings Doc Taylor and the
Fleming brothers no longer traveled alone, but in a group. They also noticed
these men were now heavily armed.
IRA MULLINS GRAVE DESECRATED
Ghouls Dynamite the Remains
Clintwood, Virginia. August 15. The grave of Ira
Mullins, the man who was murdered near Pound Gap last spring, has lately been
desecrated in an inhuman manner. Some ghoulish wretch blew the grave up with
dynamite or some other explosive substance.....exposing the remains of the
murdered man. In life he had some terrible e
nemies and their vengeance is not yet satisfied.
Robert Jefferson Fleming, the father of Henan and
Calvin was thought to have been connected with the Pound Gap murders. The Clintwood, Virginia Newspaper carried the
following obituary:
The Father of The Famous Mullens Outlaws Gone
Sketch of His Life
Clintwood, Va. August 21, 1893.
Jefferson Fleming, the father of the Mullens outlaws,
Cal and Henan Fleming died at his home at the upper end of this county on
Friday last,after an illness of several weeks duration. Jefferson Fleming was
born in Kentucky, and was therefore 73 years old. He always lead a reckless
inconsistent life and was dreaded by his neighbors as an ill natured and
disagreeable man. He has been married twice. His first wife was married when he
became acquainted with her, and after a brief acquaintance,her husband
was missing and to this day the fate of the poor man
has not been revealed; but Fleming and this woman were married in a short time
after this occurrence. They lived together for some time but at length another
woman crossed his path and he deserted number one, secured a divorce and
married number two. He is said to have been the father of thirty one children,
several of them being illegitimate. His first wife is yet living near here, an
old gray headed woman, who is said to have entertained the same
regard for his -------- that she did in other days.
Fleming was charged to have been connected with the Pound Gap murder, for which
his sons are indicted. He was indicted as an accomplice; but when the trial was
called the witness was absent, having left for parts unknown through fear, and
therefore the case was dismissed.
