RSJ was the son of Quinney Bullock and Lydia Graves Bullock, b May 11, 1846 in Covington Co, MS and died June 8, 1924. He is buried in the Friendship Cemetery, Jonesboro, Beinville Parish, LA. Harriet Ross Bullock was b Feb 14, 1853 in MS and died Oct 22, 1928. She is also buried in the Friendship cemetery in Jonesboro. I don't have anything on Harriet's ancestry. Quinney Bullock, RSJ's father, was b 1811 in Robeson Co, NC to Joel and Rhoda Davis Bullock. He migrated to Marion Co, MS about 1818 with his parents and other family members. Joel Bullock lived in Marion Co until about 1833 when he moved to Whitesand, just south of the present day town of Prentiss, MS. When Joel moved there, the area was in Lawrence Co, MS. Today, it is Jefferson Davis Co. Rhoda Davis Bullock died in 1854; Joel in June, 1860. Both were buried in the old Bullock cemetery at the old homeplace, which today is a subdivision. Quinney Bullock married Eliza Smith and had 3 daughters. Eliza died and Quinney moved to Lawrence Co near his parents. He married Lydia Graves, dau of Robert Hiram Graves and Celia Jane Dickens Graves about 1839 and moved to Covington Co about 1842 or 43. The family lived in Covington Co until about 1879 when they moved to Wesson, Copiah Co. Quinney reported died there about 1883, but have not been able to locate a marked grave for either Quinney or Lydia. Hopes this helps. I have more info if you need it. Loretta
