I have a HENRY BULL and his family on file. Also JETHRO and some Ebks on the BULLs from PA. I have them as white- but who knows? ZILPHA BULL married WILLIAM HENRY CAPPS and settled in JOHNSTON County, NC.in the late 1700's. Don't know if it is the same faamily- or just surname! Nancy

Could be the same family. I also think that Race was a matter of who the census taker was and if he knew or was related to the family. Race was/is not as cut and dry as it would seem. You also have to take into account that at a certain point in history America became a white vs. black society. I have heard from several individuals that my Bulls carried the middle initial T in their names and they changed their names to Turnbull. I do not know this myself. I have just begun researching this line. I think that some think that my Bulls came from the same line as another Bull line in PA but it is argued about a lot. I guess what I mean is that just because you have a surname such as Williams does not necessarily mean you are Welch and a surname such as Bull does not necessarily mean you are Indian.
