Seeking any information on the Bulman’s who were in New York or Wisconsin. Look forward to hearing from any descendants. Lisa. PATRICK BULMAN m. before 1837 + SARAH VALE Children: ABIGAIL BULMAN b. 13 Oct, 1837 New York d. 16 Feb, 1920 Ovid Twp., Branch Co., Michigan (death rec.# 4265) m. abt. 1856 + LOUIS GRAVES b. 25 Dec, 1832 Clinton Co., New York d. 25 Oct, 1899 Muskegon Co., Michigan Children: HENRY M. b. 1856 Waukesha Co., Wisconsin MORTIMER b. 1856 Wisconsin CAROLINE b. 1858 Michigan LESTER b. 1859 Michigan WALTER EDWARD b. 1862 Michigan ESTELLA b. 1865 Michigan CHARLES W. b. 1867 Michigan EVALINE b. 1869 Michigan ELNORA b. 1872 Michigan BLANCHE b. 1879 Michigan HARRIS E. b. 1881 Michigan Bulman-Bullman census information: PATRICK BULLMAN found in 1846 & 1855 Pewaukee twp., Waukesha Co., Wisconsin HARRIS BULLMAN found in 1860 Brookfield twp., Waukesha Co., Wisconsin LOUIS GRAVES, his parents and siblings are found in the 1855 Pewaukee twp., Waukesha Co., Wisconsin census also. I believe this is where Louis & Abigail met and married since their first 2 son’s (who may be twins) were born in Wisconsin. They migrated via sailing vessel across Lake Michigan to Muskegon Co., Michigan in 1857, along with Louis’s parents & siblings. Another possible link/clue is that there is a HARRIS BULLMAN in Waukesha Co., Wisconsin. Louis & Abigail’s 11th son was named HARRIS. They also named their 1st born son HENRY, there is a HENRY BULLMAN in the 1860 New Berlin twp., Waukesha Co., Wisconsin.
