Checking the US Geological Survey Web site at http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html will show four features in Rhode Island that have the Bullock name. 1. Bullock Cove; a small bay that separates a finger of land south of Riverside* from the rest of eastern RI 2. Bullock Neck; a cape that is separated from eastern RI by Bullock Cove 3. Bullock Point; the southern tip of Bullock Neck 4. Bullock Point Reach; a channel in the water where Bullock Cove empties into Naragansett Bay *Riverside is a little town south of East Providence. These features used to be part of Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony. Rehoboth once was quite a large area that was divided roughly in half in 1812, the western part of which became Seekonk. In 1828 the NW corner of Rehoboth became Pawtucket. In 1861 Seekonk was split in two with the western part becoming E. Providence. Also in 1861 E. Providence and Pawtucket went from MA to RI in exchange for Fall River, RI which was annexed to Fall River, MA. It's all rather confusing but is important to understand when looking for some of our old Bristol co., MA ancestors, because some may have been in what is now RI. Jim Bullock Littleton, CO

Ginny, Your list of the children of Samuel and Thankful (Rouse) Bullock included "Ebenezer, b. 1675/76; Samuel, b. 1683; Daniel, b. 1683/84; Israel, b. 1686/87; Richard, b. 1692 and Seth, b. 1693." My source for Rehoboth VRs is James N. Arnold's 1897 work _Vital Record of Rehoboth, 1642-1896_, which is included on my Bristol County VRs CD-ROM disc. He did not include Daniel in his list of Samuel's children. I have found other errors and omissions in his data, but I guess this is to be expected of any work that is over 100 years old. He also didn't have Mary Thurber as Samuel's first wife and attributed their daughter, Mary, to Thankful. My question is: which version of the Rehoboth VRs have you found to be the most reliable and accurate? Jim Bullock Littleton, CO

Hi, everyone, I have talked to Ginny Deagan about the BULLOCK line that I am researching, but don't think I submitted it to the list. Pardon me if this is repeated information, I am starting to get confused by all the lists that I am on -- just hate dropping off of any, in case I miss the information I have been looking for! Here is what I have: 1. Henry BULLOCK, b. 1594/5, came from the parish of St. Lawrence, Essex Co., England, m. Susan ____________. Henry, age 40, emigrated in ship Abigail in June 1635 with wife Susan, age 42, and children Henry (age 8 years), Mary (age 6 years) and Thomas (age 2 years). Henry received a grant of land at Charlestown, MA, where he was a proprietor in 1638. Henry moved to Salem MA in abt. 1644. Susan d. abt 2 Nov 1644. Henry m. /2/ Elizabeth _______. He died 27, 10th Month (Dec) 1664. His will dated 21 Dec 1663 mentions wife Elizabeth, son Thomas, grandchildren John and Elizabeth (children of his deceased son Henry). 2. Henry Jr. (child of 1st wife Susan), b. abt 1627 in England, m. /1/ in 1644 Alice FLINT, dau of William Flint and his wife Alice WILLIAMS. Henry died before 21 Dec 1663. 3. John, b. Aug 1654 at Salem, MA, m. 3 Aug 1681 Mary MAVERICK (possibly same daughter of Moses MAVERICK who was baptized at Salem on 6:7m:1657 according to Salem VR?), d. 1694. He was a soldier in King Phillip's War. 4. John, b. 5 Apr 1686 at Salem, MA, m. 20 July 1710 at Salem Mary CARYLL (aka CARROLL, possibly same daughter of Nathaniel CARYLL and his wife Priscilla DOWNING who was b. after 1683 according to Salem VR?) 5. John, b. 21 Apr 1711 at Salem, MA, m. 27 Oct 1737 Elizabeth STILEMAN (aka STILLMAN) 6. John, b _____, m. 20 Sept 1762 at Salem, MA, Rosina Barbarina ULMERIN (aka "Barbary") 7. Samuel, b. 6 April 1763 at Salem, MA, m. 20 May 1787 Eunice WYMAN of Beverley MA, dau of Solomon WYMAN and his wife Eunice PEASE. Lived in Danvers, MA 8. Capt. Isaac, b. 3 Sept 1796 at Northport, ME, m. 15 Aug 1822 at Rockland ME, Jane SYMONTON (aka SIMONTON), d. 18 June 1838 9. Capt. Francis Simonton, b. abt 1825, m. 2 Jan 1847 Susan Jones RICH. They resided Rockland, ME. 10. Morton Yates, b. 30 Oct 1858 at Rockland ME, m. 3 June 1891 in Baltimore MD, Mary Henrietta BERGER, d. 25 Sept 1906 in Baltimore 11. Morton Yates Jr., b. 13 Jan 1895 in Baltimore, m. 13 Sept 1820 in Baltimore MD, Rosine Alma FICHT, d. 25 Oct. 1971 There are three more living generations of BULLOCKs. This is the line as given to me by Rosine Alma Ficht Bullock (wife of #11 above). The same line is repeated in the DAR applications of Susan Jones Rich Bullock (wife of #9) and her daughter Caroline Rich Bullock (Mrs. True Page Pierce of NY), both since deceased. My problem? Someone just sent me a couple of pages from the book "History of Salem", Vol II -- and in it, it says that Samuel Bullock (#7) was the son of John Bullock #5 and his wife Elizabeth Stileman, and NOT of John Bullock #6 and his wife Rosina Barbarina Ulmerin! John #6 and Rosina did have a son Samuel, bapt 29 May 1763 who lived in Northport Maine in 1798. No wife is given (wives seem to be given for each person -- does this mean that he didn't marry?) The Samuel Bullock who married Eunice Wyman was bapt. 16 Feb 1755. There is no death date given for him, or names of his children (although it does say that he had children.) Effectively, this means I have an incorrect generation in here somewhere (either I get rid of John and "Barbary" or I get rid of Samuel and Eunice and substitute a different Samuel and unknown wife.) Does anyone have access to the Danvers, MA Vital Records or the Northport, ME Vital Records? Is there anyone who can find names of children born to Samuel and Eunice (to see if my Capt. Isaac is among them)? I have a terrible sinking feeling that Samuel and Eunice are out unless they moved to Northport ME 9 years later to have Isaac... <sigh> Such is genealogy -- win a few, lose a few. Too bad, too...I've traced the WYMANs all the way back to the 1500s....and now I have to find an unknown wife! Argh! Help?!!! Thanks for letting me sob on your shoulders! Lynn Marshall [email protected]

Thanks, Robert, for sending the info you have on Richard and son, Samuel. I'm sorry that I can't add anything to your Virginia or other Southern Bullock lines. Since I've never found a link with any of them, I haven't saved any of their data (except for some more modern lines like my North Carolina brother.) One of these days someone will probably find the link, then I'll be scrambling to collect the data. There have been various speculations about Richard's origins including the one about coming with brothers, Henry and Edward, but there is, unfortunately, no documentation for any of them. Ginny Deagan <[email protected]> has a collection of the various "theories" at her fine Web site, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/2726/ I don't include Henry and Edward in my data but do keep the notes on them. Someone may find the links with them also. My Rehoboth & Bristol county sources, like Ginny's, also make no mention of a Nathan in Samuel Bullock's family. Jim Bullock Littleton, CO

Thank you for the information on your Bullocks-- I have a copy of the "Lost Tribes of Granville Co" by Worth Ray and he has my James Bullock and his family, listed as a son of Nathanial and if you look closely at the dates, then you can see that this is incorrect. My Richard Bullock's father is named Joshua Bullock and a son of James Bullock. Also just off the Colton's Point in Maryland in the Potomac, you will find Bullock Island, and the seat of my Bullock Family. At one time it was 100a in size, now down to less than 1 acre. St. Catherines is just beside it. My John Bullock was indentured for 4 years when he came to US--so my Bullocks were not the wealthy arrivals--but some became wealthy in land holdings---but did not pass anything on to me. Worth Ray has a good start for building you Bullock Family (if they live in Granville Co., NC) from. It helps towards knowing the other families of Bullocks.

Hi Jim. I think we have talked before. I also am from Richard Bullock's line. I am waiting for information from the FHC to see which wife. I am told my ancestor Comfort Bullock born 1762-63 was a descendent of Richard Bullock and Elizabeth Ingraham. I am now in the process of checking this out. I have pretty good documentation but want to check for myself. I have ordered the records from the various places that were in the documentation to see for myself. [email protected]

Greetings, Jim Bullock, et al.: Your Richard is not in my line, which is Richard Bullock, who died abt. 1702 in Surry, Co., Va., and his wife Mary Hawkins. There were many Richard Bullocks in Virginia, etc., in the 1600s and some present Bullock line claim from Capt. Hugh Bullock, in: COLONIAL GRANVILLE COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE: By Worth S. Ray: Southern Book Co., Baltimore, Md., 1956. This book is very informative, but has many errors, particularly, with regard to brothers and sons of Capt. Hugh and Capt. Hugh's descendants. I believe, a person born in the United States would have much (if not impossible) difficulty in proving he or she descended from Capt. Hugh. There are several southern BULLOCK lines. One of those lines (and probably, the predominant one) is known as: RICHARD OF GRANVILLE (Granville County, North Carolina). Another line is my line, starting with Richard Bullock and his wife, Mary Hawkins, and their son, Richard (who was not 18 yrs. of age, in 1702) who married Elizabeth Shockey, a neighbor, all who lived in Surry C., Va., near today's South-West corner of Surry County, which borders with Sussex County and ______ County. I believe there is no connection between my line and your line or Capt. Hugh's line, or Richard of Granville; and, that my Richard was a fortunate (or unfortunate) boy in England who was shipped to Virginia in the early or middle 1600s to people Virginia and was a tithable of Benjamin Harrison, !!, ancestor or the two Harrison Presidents. I have in my database the following which may be some help to you: "RICHARD (1622-67), From Eng., 1643/44, settled at Rehoboth, Mass.; freeman, 1646; town clk., 1659-67;excise cxollector; one of two men appointed to regulate trade with the Indians; m 1647, Elizabeth Ingraham (m 1659); m 2d, Elizabeth Billington.

I just found this mailing list today--thanks for setting it up. I'm a descendant of Richard Bullock (1622-1667) of Rehoboth, Bristol, MA, and his first wife, Elizabeth Ingraham (1628/9-1659/60). My maternal grandfather's line, Medbury, was also from Bristol county, so I'm especially interested in the families of that area. I know that there are many Bullocks whose American origins were in the South, but I have no known links to those families. I'll be interested in hearing from any of you who share common roots with my line. Jim Bullock Littleton, CO

Robert, Thank you for your response. I have not really done a lot of research past Richard. Nathaniel moved to Georgia from North Carolina in 1780s and it appeared that I had all the information needed. However, then I discovered there were two Nathaniel Bullocks in Georgia, same county, as contemporaries and I have begun to wonder if there was a second Nathaniel, son of Nathaniel. Hawkins Bullock is nicely documented but nothing on the Nathaniel (supposedly his brother) that I am looking for.

Thanks Jan, I was especially pleased to hear from you. I am confident that you are related to the PINGS of Pulaski County, Ky. and that one of your ancestors was Richard Bullock who was born in Sussex County, Va., with his twin: Charles, December 25, 1740. I went to Plaski County a few years ago tracing your Richard. I descend from the twin CHARLES. who settled and died in Robeson County, NC. We can be beneficial to each other. Thanks Again, Robert A.

Greetings Robert! I've got a letter here dated back to about 1991 from you, when my health went into the loo, I'm sorry I've not gotten back to you sooner, but with circumstances being as they were, I just could not do it, and my genealogy has suffered because of it. To refresh your memory, I'm decended from Jeremiah Bullock of Surry Co. VA. My line moved into Pulaski and Rockcastle Co Ky. I was supposed to send you information on my family, it's out for download on my webpage listed below (gedcom). I also noticed the blurb on Hugh Bullock in your last post. I've always thought we were decended from that line. Looking forward to hearing from you, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, I've been looking for an email address for you, but was unsure if the one I found was yours. Hope this finds you in good health jan -- Mr. Jan Bullock County Coordinator Rockcastle County KyGenWeb Page http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/9718/ Bullock Family Home Page http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1815/

Hi, I am researching Bullock's that started out in Rehoboth Mass. and then moved to NY and from there all over the country. I am descended from Richard Bullock of Ma. I am pretty sure. My Bullock line is Comfort Bullock born 1762-63 Abel Bullock born 1790 Augustus Bullock born 1812 William M. Bullock born 1835 Clara Bullock Essex born abt. 1873 All from Mass and NY [email protected]

Good morning, William Bullock moved from Virginia to Tennessee in 1798. William settled in Sullivan Co. My g-ggrandfather John Henry was born in 1800 in Sullivan Co. He moved to Overton Co. in about 1850. For more information on the many Bullock lines visit my Bullock Web page listed below. All Bullock researchers are welcome and encouraged to submit a query in the Other Bullock Cousins section. Thanks, Joe F. Bullock Las Vegas, Nevada [email protected] [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6596/

Thanks for the referrals, On this list the more the merrier. The list is less than a month old and we are doing well so far. All those researchers who haven't posted your queries or replied to those you have seen here, feel free to do so. Even what may seem to be an insignificant detail is important.

I have just joined the Bullock mailing list. I have been researching the Descendants of Richard Bullock of Rehoboth MA for several years and have started a web page at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/2726/ Most of my research is on Bullocks in New England & New York State & northern Pennsylvania but since I started the page, I have added information about many from the midwest. There are some Bullock web pages that concentrate on the Southern Bullocks and I have links to them on my web page. I have a large address list of people who are researching the Bullock family and will let them know about the Bullock mailing list. This is a great way to help each other in our research. -- Ginny - Pensacola, FL My Home Page http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~gdeagan FLGenWEb http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/index.htm

Thanks Sharon for your e-mail. I am (probably) descended from Richard Bullock who died in Surry County, Virginia abt. 1703 leaving wife Mary (Hawkins) and son Richard (not then 18 yrs, of age) and a thitable of Benjamin Harrison II. However, I have a friend in Columbia, SC., Otis Johnson who I consider an expert on your line. There are many who believe your line is descended from Capt. Hugh Bullock, and his children, two whom are known to be William and his son: Robert. Are you one of those believers? Robert A. Bullock 371 Derrick Drive Irmo, SC 29063 Tel. & Fax: (803) 781-5291

Hello: I checked out the home page and was excited to see my ancestors Richard and Ann Hendley/Henley Bullock listed. I am descended from Richard's son, Nathaniel, who went to Georgia through his son George Washington Bullock. G. W. died in Rising Son, IN c 1839/40; his family went on to Clay Co., IN in the west central portion of Indiana. Anyone out there researching this line? Sharon Bryant [email protected]
