Came to this locality in 1835 and spent the balance of his life in preaching the gospel and teaching school. His four sons, three of whom are named above, all preached, but were chiefly engaged in other business.

General Note on The Mulkeys:

The Mulkey family came to America from Sweden about 1650 and settled on a part of the territory watered by the Delaware River and Bay. Their history is an interesting one. They were men of earnest Christian convictions and high moral purpose and courage. As far as known, there was only one exception--he was a shocking pervert.

Besides those whose sketches are given here, other Christian preachers of this family went West--some to Missouri, some to Arkansas and others to Oregon.
