John Mullin, a Virginian, brought his family to Ohio in 1801 by flatboat down the Ohio River to Cincinnati and by wagon to Section 9 of Clear Creek Township, where they were among only three families in that part of Warren County. His son Isaac, born in Virginia in 1777, had married Elizabeth Haines in New Jersey, farmed next to his father, and died at Springboro in 1839. Two of Isaac's sons married daughters of Edward and Mary Borton: Job, born in Clear Creek Township in 1806, married Amaline B. Borton in 1829 and celebrated their golden wedding in 1879, and Nathan, born in 1810, married Mary Ann Borton in 1837 and died at Harveysburg in 1881. A third household, that of John Mullin (born 1791) and Charlotte (Haines) Mullin, is tied to the family in Clayton W. Mullin's sketch, which refers readers to Job Mullin's sketch for its ancestry; John served in the War of 1812 and was among Hull's troops surrendered at Detroit. Every fact below is cited to the 1882 History of Warren County, Ohio.

JOB MULLIN, farmer; P. O. Springboro; born in Clear Creek Township, Warren County, Jan. 6, 1806; is a son of Isaac and Elizabeth (Haines) Mullin, he a native of Virginia and she of New Jersey. The grandfather was John Mullin, a native of Virginia, who with his family emigrated to Ohio in 1801; they descended the Ohio River on a flat-boat to Cincinnati; thence by wagons to Warren County, and located on Section 9, in Clear Creek Township, on the farm now owned by G. H Sellers. Here they opened out right in the woods, and with two other families were the only settlers then located in this portion of the county; here they experienced the true log-cabin life, with all the hardships and deprivations of those pioneer days; wolves and wild game were in abundance; com worth 6J to 10 cents per bushel; wheat, 31J cents, and other things corresponding; their only market was Cincinnati, where they hauled all products over terrible mud roads, and there purchased salt and other provisions at high prices and hauled them home; but we leave to the township historian to more fully describe those early days. Mr. Mullin, after many years’ residence and hard labor, and having his farm well opened out, moved to Springboro, where he died at a ripe old age. He was twice married, and was the father of twenty-four children. Isaac Mullin was born in Virginia Sept 7, 1777; when about 21 years of age, he went to New Jersey and married Elizabeth Haines, who was born Sept. 7, 1785, and in 1801, with his father, emigrated to Ohio and settled in Warren County. Isaac lived one year at Waynesville; thence located on a farm adjoining his father’s on the south, in Clear Creek Township, and here passed the greater portion of his life. His wife died in April, 1829; they had ten children, who grew to maturity; five now survive — Noah, Job, Ruth, Maria and Jane. Mr. Mullin married for his second wife Hannah Neal, a native of Virginia. Mr. Mullin died at Springboro, to where he moved about 1837, on Aug. 31, 1839, aged 62 years. He was a very active, industrious man, and bore his full share of pioneer hardships; was a man of remarkable kindness,- ever ready to assist his neighbors in every way possible, even as it proved many times greatly to his own loss and injury. The subject of this sketch was born and grew up to manhood in this township; was married June 4, 1829, to Amaline B., daughter of Edward and Mary Borton, whose history is given in sketch of Nathan Mullin (deceased), in Massie Township. Emaline was born in New Jersey, Oct. 1, 1809. Mr. Mullin and wife by their union have had seven children; four now survive — Rebecca, born Dec. 11, 1830; Mary, Oct. 13, 1832 (now Mrs. D. F. Corwin); Amanda, Nov. 17, 1834 (now Mrs. W. H. Newport), and Laura A., Fet>. 27, 1843 (now Mrs. W. H. Carpenter). Mr. Mullin, after his marriage, located in Montgomery County, near the Warren County line, where they resided till January. 1837, when they located upon the place where they now live and have since resided; upon this place Mr. Mullin has erected all the buildings, and made many improvements, and now has a tine home and residence, and everything comfortable and convenient around him; has now been a resident upon this place forty-four years; he and his companion have traveled the journey of life together for fifty-two years. In June, 1879, was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, on which occasion were assembled at their home their children, and many friends from Cincinnati, Indiana, and other places, and they had a very enjoyable and pleasant time, and many fine presents given as tokens of their love and respects for the worthy and aged recipients. Mr. Mullin is now one of the oldest native-born citizens of this township, having resided here from his birth, a period of three-fourths of a century; who has witnessed fully the vast changes and progress of this country from its primeval forests, up to its present high state of improvements and comforts; and has been one of the most substantial citizens of this community. Although in his habits he is retired and unpretentious, and never desired office or public notoriety, yet his life has been characterized by the most scrupulous integrity and uncompromising principles. He has been Trustee of the School Section for thirty years; other than this he has refused to accept any office.
