Samuel K. Mullenax, husband of Nancy Olive Reece, was the son of Solomon and Susan Moats. Samuel and Nancy's son Charles W. married Bertha Mae Schoonover. Solomon had a brother, Conrad. Samuel and Susan are in the 1850 Census in Ritchie County. Both the Mullenax and Moats/Motes lines should trace back to Pendleton County.

Although the U.S. and International Marriage Records state that Solomon and Susan married in 1842, this is a very unreliable source. Solomon's daughter Prescovia's death record names Winnie as her mother, suggesting the marriage probably took place after 1844.
