Notes:
An M. Mullin and a Michael Mullin are both listed as members of the 10th regiment, Tennessee Infantry, which was organized in Fort Henry, Tennessee in May 1861 and included members from Nashville and Davidson County, including Adolphus Heiman. Also, a Michael Mullin was listed as a stone mason in the 1868 and 1869 Nashville City Directories. However, this is likely not the same person as Mike Mullins was working at Belmont at that time.
