Jeff Scism >> RESPONSE-- I was curious about the great uncle who left his family and nothing was heard from. A little more information please such as name, date, and state. My great-great-grandfather John J. Bullock, sired two sons, James and Andrew, by wife Martha Jane Reaves. He is never shown to be with the family at any census taking. A John J. Bullock did serve in the Civil War for Alabama. Nothing more is known of him. Martha Jane was reviled by many of her neighbors because her husband was not around. She suffered years in silence and never once spoke back to the harsh words of those who scorned her. Some in the family have speculated that he went west to find his fortune planning to send for the family and died or was killed. We would all like to believe that. Mostly, we just don't know. Martha died about 1901. Her son James was my great-grandfather and I remember him well. He died at 91 in 1962. Do you have a match? Linda
