    "... Solomon moved to the waters of Holly Creek, about two miles northeast of Clintwood, where he lived for several years. He owned several slaves, mostly women, who worked in the fields and hunted in the woods. He was known as "Moneymaking Sol" because he made counterfeit money for several years under a cliff near Holly Creek known as "Sol's Cliffs", in the laurel bottoms near Low Gap at the mouth of a branch below where Isaac Mullins later lived. Solomon's nephews Isaac and John Mullins helped him "strike" the money. In 1837, Solomon and sons Peter and Spencer were charged by the Russell County, Virginia court for making counterfeit twenty-five cent pieces, half dollars, and dollars. ..."

    Solomon sold three tracts of land on Shelby Creek in Pike County, Kentucky on 7 Nov. 1837. He and son Peter left Russell County, Virginia and moved to the Sequatchie River in Marion County, Tennessee, where he lived near his brother-in-law Samuel Cathey. Solomon and son Peter purchased land in Jasper, Marion County, Tennessee, on 8 July 1840 and stayed there until the winter of 1841-1842 when hey moved to Logan County, Virginia (later West Virginia). When Solomon came to Logan County he brought his three granddaughters---Mahala, Rhoda Jane, and Elvira. On 15 Aug. 1846, he bought land from Edward Chapman on the Trace Fork of Big Ugly Creek in Logan County (this section became part of Boone County in 1847). His son Peter Mullins lived on Harts Creek. Solomon Mullins and his wife Sarah Greenfield Cathey are buried on the farm of Wallace Alvin Hill on the Ellis Fork of Big Creek. Their graves are at the edge of the road.
