Hello Ron, Deborah Bullock Freeman here. Is this line of Bullock's your line and where does your line come in at? This is my line of Bullock's. John Bullock m to Ann Rice is my 4 times great-grandparents. Where did you get your infro. and do you have any infro. on the Rice and Clark Family Lines? I have infro. that shows this Bullock line goes back to one Hugh Bullock out of Devonshire, England.
