  Born in Darlington District, son of John and Mary (Ellison) Muldrow He was obviously named for Revolutionary Patriot Simon Connell of Old Cheraw District, who was the step-father of his mother, Mary Ellison. Muldrow graduated in 1820 from The College of New Jersey (now Princeton) and was admitted to the bar Jan. 10, 1823¹.

  He practiced in Darlington, and for a while was the junior partner of Gov. Stephen D. Miller in the law firm "Miller & Muldrow". After several years he removed to Claiborne County, Alabama, and ultimately to Lowndes County, Mississippi, where he lived as a planter.

  He was married in Darlington District in 1826 to Louisa Adeline Cannon and they became the parents of three sons and four daughters. Mr. Muldrow died in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi.
