Can anyone suggest (or prove) the origins of the Bullards living in Wellfleet in the late 1700s? I have not found other Bullards in Eastham, Wellfleet or Truro published VRs. From Wellfleet town records, Volume 1, I have: Anna Bullard, d. 5 Feb 1820 Wellfleet (with unreferenced birth date 27 Nov 1745), married Joseph Newcomb, 7 Jul 1749 Eastham - bef. 1820 Wellfleet. Intentions 27 Nov 1782 (1:321), Marriage 12 Dec 1782 (1:535). This could be Anna Lombard, widow of Benjamin Bullard, married 3 Sep 1771 Welfleet (below), but she is called "Miss" in Intentions. Bays Bullard, d. before 1790. Married 1st Hannah Atwood. Intentions 17 Apr 1771 (1:308), Marriage 4 Nov 1771 (1:525). Hannah's dates: 2 Mar 1756 Eastham - bef. Aug 1777 Wellfleet Married 2nd Anna Lombard. Intentions 30 Aug 1777 (1:316), Marriage 30 Sep 1777 (1:531) Anna Ballard was head of household for the 1790 and 1800 censuses at Wellfleet. Anna's dates: 4 Jul 1756 Truro (probably)- 7 Dec 1809 Wellfleet. Benjamin Bullard married Anna Lombard. Intentions 15 Aug 1771 (1:308), Marriage 3 Sep 1771 (1:525). A Benjamin Bullard, presumably another one, married Hannah Newcomb, 14 Sep 1738 in Eastham. Keziah Bullard married Oliver Myrick. Intentions 25 Oct 1770 (1:308), Marriage 19 Apr 1771 (1:524). Hannah Bullard, May 1776 Wellfleet - 24 Oct 1852 Wellfleet. Married Capt. Isaiah Rich Baker, 18 Jul 1769 Wellfleet - 6 Oct 1861 Wellfleet. Intentions 15 Feb 1793 (1:332), Marriage 19 Mar 1793 (1:544). Hannah's death record has only her husband's name, not her parents'. prohibited marriage (Intentions, 1:307) March 31st 1770. Mr Ambrose Bullard of Wellfleet and Hannah Savage of Truro April 9, 1770. Messrs Zoheth Smith, Naaman Holbrook and Jonathan Young Selectmen of this District have this day entered with this their Prohibition of the banns of matrimony between Ambrose Bullard of this District and Hannah Savage of Truro, for the following reasons, The sd Ambrose Bullard being an idle vagrant, and destitute person, and has received assistance from the sd District and now is in no way of business to maintain himself, and under the care of the Selectmen and, should he marry, his family would be an additional burden to this District Recorded by John Greenough, D.
