Thomas Mullings

Owner of Mount Sinai in St Elizabeth, Jamaica. Deceased by 1825.

1. Thomas Mullings had the following children with Eleanor Ebanks:

   . Deborah: born 13/10/1782; baptised 30/08/1789

   . Benjamin: born 17/08/1786; baptised 04/05/1797 (q.v. ?)

   . Diana Mills: born 02/04/1789; baptised 04/05/1797

   . James: born 04/10/1791; baptised 04/05/1797

   . Ann: born 08/03/1794; baptised 04/05/1797

   . Jane: born 22/01/1796; baptised 04/05/1797

   . Frances: born 14/02/1797; baptised 23/08/1806

   . Thomas Banton: born 16/07/1799; 23/08/1806 (q.v.)

   . Elizabeth Eleanor: born 10/06/1801; baptised 23/08/1806

   . William John: born 05/06/1809; baptised 04/02/1811.

The baptismal entry for William John describes the father and mother as, respectively, “a free quadroon” and “a free mestize”. The pre-1806 baptismal entries simply show the children as “not white”. Several reputed children of Timothy Mullings were baptised on the same day as Frances, Thomas and Elizabeth: he is probably the Timothy Banton Mullings who also had children baptised in 1810.
