Cemetery listings for Muddy Creek Church of Christ in Forsyth County, near Davidson County line, a new marker reads: "In memory of Lewis and Susana Jarvis Mullican. Migrated from MD and purchased land from Earl of Granville in 1781. He was a soldier of the Revolution."
*While browsing the Footnote.com Rev. War records, I found the following information in the pension file of William Hubbard, a Rev. solider: James Mullikin, Magistrate in the Anderson District, South Carolina, 27 August, 1853, states he has lived in South Carolina for about 40 years, and knew William Hubbard since he was twelve years of age, both living at the time in Guilford County, NC. Could this James Millikin possibly be the son of Lewis and Susannah Mullican? Susannah's brother, Elisha Jarvis, also went to South Carolina when he left Rowan County, NC.
In a letter dated February 13, 1931 to Miss Ellen Mathas of Franklin, Indiana, from E. W. Morgan, Acting Commissioner, Rev. & 1812 War Section it states: "You are advised that it appears from the paper in the Revolutionary War pension claim. W.18545, that Lewis Mulliifkan, also appears Mulliken and Mullican, was born in 1755 in Montgomery County, Maryland. While a residen to Montgomery County, Maryland, he enlisted in 1776 and served four months as private in Captain Benjamin Spyker's Company, Colonel Murdock's Maryland Regiment of the Flying Camp and was in the battle of White Plains. He enlisted the following year summer, served four months as private to Captain A. Rigg's Maryland Company and was in the battle of Germantown. He was allowed pension on his application executed November 15, 1832, while a resident of Davidson County, formerly Rowan County, North Carolina, where he moved from Maryland about the close of the war.
