Ia Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/LeeBios/28 Surname: Whitcomb, Bullard, Halferty ------------------------- My Great Grand father was Eugene Whitcomb b. app 1841.He may have had a brother Moses and a sister Melisa. Melisa married Brady Halferty in 1851. Moses is a resedent of the Lee County jail at 15 years of age in the 1850 cencus.Eugene married Lucy Bullard in 1864. Lucy father was Theodopolis Bullard who was a well known indian fighter during the Blackhawk wars. I t is believed he recieved a number acres in Lee couny for his service as an indian fighter. He was know for raising braading stock both cattle and horses. The horses were tennesse walkers and thorbreds. Eugene and Lucy had the following 7 children. Effie b. Jan11,1867--Nellie b. Feb.19,1869--Louis Leroy b. Jan.6,1878--twins Howard Merton and Hattie Mertil b.Dec.11,1878--Grover Cleveland b.Oct 18,1884 Grover is my great grandfather and I have Eugene s family bible with tin type pictures. Eugene died Nov.30,1907 and there was a terrible family fued over a team of matched Horses in the barn which belonged to my G Grandfather, but since he was living on the farm anf taking care of his father the family claimed the horses as they were in the barn when Eugene died. That split the family and they were never a faily unit again. If you have any additional information , I would appreciate hearing from you.
