Hi Everyone, Alice just mentioned the BALLOU genealogy. I made a discovery the last time I was in Salt Lake City. There is more than one! There is the original by Adin Ballou entitled An Elaborate History and Genealogy of the BALLOUS in America -- and there are two supplements: The BALLOUS in America, An Addendum to the Original... by Jillson The BALLOUS in America, An Addendum to the Original... by WPA These two supplements have some information that is not in the original. I thought this might be of interest to those of you who are researching BALLOUS. Sue Susan M. Hillier Roe Seal Beach, CA

If so could you do a lookup on Jesse Ballou w/m Abigail Cook and their children, please? I have Abigail's line back to Walter Cook(e) . But not a thing on Jesse besides his name. ( Src. Walter Cook(e) Gen. by M. Jillson) Sure hate these dangling lines in my data base. :) TIA, Alice

Morning Betty . Jim B. and all Listers, Betty S. and Jim B. proud to be your Cuzs, looks like many times over. :) . Betty S. , thanks for sharing this Bullock data and Jim B. thanks for reminding us that many of these pedigrees back to the 16th century and more are usually not proven and should be taken with a grain of salt, till such time they are proved. We all share what we have in our data, and hopefully others have sources and can correct us , with proven data, if found , or they have. Isn't that what these list are all about?? I have a few what are called "Mythical Pedigrees" in my data also. However till proven otherwise , I keep them. :) Gosh I have the "ADAMS Line" back to Adam. ( That is the first Adam. :) Some people go to great lengths to compile these. Right, wrong or indifferent pedigrees . They are out there for us to ponder on and share. On these list we share what we have and that is what it's all about. If we didn't , there would be no need for list like Ma- Mendon, and other list. So Listers, all keep sharing, as that's what we are all about. We are all here to learn more about our ancestors and their families, locales, and etc. . There are no wrong messages on this list, except NO messages . :) Have a nice Day, Alice > Alice and Jim, > Well, it looks like Jim has blown a couple of holes in my > research on Richard BULLOCK, --------snipped---------------

There is a large Genealogy section, of many area names, however he covers most all the Ballou's" in "Ballou's of America". which I have only excerpts from. It is a rare book and originall are hard to find, even in area libraries. It is in reprint, last I saw a few years ago was 162 dollars. FYI: Noah Ballou is the son of Nathanial Ballou according to Adin Ballou's books. In this area these books are primary sources as Rev. Adin Ballou officiating at christnings, marriages and deaths of thousands of area families and he knew them all and their familes. Much of the data in his books comes from his own records, research, and corespondence with others. If you would give me specific families I will do looks ups for you or anyone on the list. I did not enter in my data base any lengthy histories and or lines, except those that were connected to my Pickering/Cook lines.And even then I skimmed on the facts. :(. However I do have a large file on the Ballou family. Alice List Mom

I have a few pages from "The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island" 1983. I shows the children and grandchildren for Maturin Ballou and Hannah. All I have in my data files is direct line from Maturin, James, James and Sarah. Sarah's grandson is Luke Cass Cook who is in my line to Walter Cook. Phil

Alice and Jim, Well, it looks like Jim has blown a couple of holes in my research on Richard BULLOCK, but until I look up my original sources on him, I'm not willing to concede that he's right on all points. He is right about the Baptist Church, as I can see from my notes on the BUTTERWORTH family. Apparently I saw a later Richard in the Baptist Church. Most, if not all, of my research on BULLOCK was done several years ago, before there was an Internet. A lot came from NEHGR, and I did have some correspondence some time ago. The date of his death should have read Bef. 22 NOV 1667, as it was his inventory that I have. Anyway, Alice, I believe we are double cousins.

Richard Bullock of Rehoboth is my 8th great grandfather. I communicate with many other Bullock researchers. Here is what is generally accepted by other researchers: Richard Bullock's origins have never been documented. There is an Ancestral File showing that Richard was from Essex co., England, but it is speculative at best--no sources given. The more reliable IGI files have nothing on his birth in Essex. No serious genealogist lists Richard's parents because there is no supporting evidence. (Incidentally, I was in England in Feb.-Mar. checking on a possible birth place for Richard, but it was disproved.) There is no evidence that Richard was in America in 1643 or earlier. Richard was not listed in a 1644 list of proprietors. The lot later assigned to Richard was still in the Governor's name on 10 Jan 1644/5. Richard was the 3rd, not the 2nd, town clerk in Rehoboth. William Carpenter, who was the first town clerk, is usually overlooked because his name didn't appear in the records, but a hand writing analysis shows that the original town records from 1643 to 1649 were in his hand. Peter Hunt was chosen town clerk in 1649. Richard's date of death is not certain. The inventory of his estate was taken 22 Nov 1667, so he most likely died shortly before that date. Richard was not a member of the Baptist Church. There was none in Rehoboth or Swansea until shortly after his death. His son Samuel, who was a deacon in the Swansea church, was the first of the family to be a member of the church. Some other myths about Richard that you can find on the Web: He came to the Colonies with two brothers, Henry & Edward. He came with Roger Williams. His wife Elizabeth Ingraham has a royal lineage. Two of the most reliable sources with facts about his life, mostly from the Rehoboth town records, are Bowen's "Early Rehoboth" and Bliss's "The History of Rehoboth". A couple of interesting facts about Richard: He is an ancestor of Pres. George W. Bush (and his father.) His 2nd wife Elizabeth Billington was the granddaughter of Mayflower passenger John Billington, the first Englishman to be executed for a crime (murder) in Plymouth Colony.

Hi, Checking my data: does anyone have the line back of Jesse BALLOU w/m Abigail COOK d/o of Daniel Jr. Cook & Abigail Slack . She is buried in Elder Ballou Cemetery . in Cumberland, R.I. Her stone reads : In Memory of Abigail Cook who died May 10, 1833 in the 75th year of her age: Dear Children and friends; I'll bid you all adieu; To leave you in God's care; And if I here no more see you; Go On; I hope to meet you there; Had 3 chn by Jesse Ballou: I do not have the children either.

Hi Everyone, I see that a lot of you have BULLOCK ancestors, but a lot later than my BULLOCKS. I wonder if my family is the same as yours. I have the BULLOCKS traced back to 1400's, and through them, and Margaret NORRIS to Joan De VERE, and on back to the Kings of England through John. So if anybody is interested, I'd be glad to share what I have. My immigrant ancestor was Richard BULLOCK, b. 10 JUL 1625, Faulkborn, Esses, d.22 NOV 1667, Rehoboth, MA., m.Elizabeth INGRAHAM, b. 10 JUL 1630, England, d.7 JAN 1658/59, Rehoboth. They m. 4 AUG 1647, Rehoboth. Richard came to America Bef. 1643, and was listed as one of the 58 proprietors of Rehoboth in 1644. He was a Freeman in 1645, and was allotted land of Matthew Pratt in 1647, as Pratt had left. In 1653, he was one of the 49 to draw for meadows in the northern part of the town. BULLOCK served Rehoboth as the second town clerk from 1660 to his death in 1667. His salary was 16L year, plus fees for entering certain records into the books. In 1662, he served on a committee to investigate the sale of liquors and powders to the Indians and in 1664 he was licensed to keep a ferry on Palmer's river. His family settled on a tract of several hundred acres lying mostly along the west bank of the river, from near the northern boundary of Swansea to a point a mile north of the Orleans factory site. In 1666, he protested during a town meeting that the minister should be chosen by the church, rather than the people of the town. He and his family attended the Baptist church, which was moved to Swansea, under orders of the town. (Source: "Ancestral Lines Revised", pp. 138-139).
