Hi Phyllis: Yes, I see your John M. Bullock in my data base in 1850 and 1860 Tippah Co, MS, but I don't have any information as to his earlier family origins. Do you happen to know his father's name and from what county in TN he came? I also see a William Bullock (b. 1802 in NC) in Tippah county, who moved into MS from TN sometime between 1834 and 1844, and I wonder if he could be the older brother or father of John M. Bullock. I believe that it was a mistype when you said that John was born in 1804, as he was listed as only 30 in the 1850 census, giving a birthyear of about 1820 The only additional information that I have on this family is that the eldest son James V. Bullock married Anna Bounds on 1 Oct 1858 in Tippah Co. By the way, it could be a mistake in my copying, but I have it listed that both John M. and Elizabeth Bullock were said to have been born in NC in the 1860 census, not TN as was reported in 1850. Good luck in your research, Ron Bullock ----------------- Subj: Unidentified subject!
