The estate of James Mullinax, who lived in the oldest house in Alexandria, Tennessee. His relatives on his mother's side were the Adamsons. This family has lived in Dekalb County since approximately 1800, when patriarch Jesse T. Adamson (1758-1825) emigrated from Virginia. Jesse Adamson is buried in neighboring Wilson County, but his line of descendants through Jimmy Mullinax have all been born or buried in Dekalb County (which was formed in 1837). The original owner of this table was possibly William D. Adamson (1828-1863), who served in the Civil War in Company B, Allison's Tennessee Cavalry Squadron, CSA, and was killed in battle.
