Project Abstract
Our "Bullock" family line extends from the emigration of
Pieter and Elizabeth Marcelisse from Beest,
Holland on May 9, 1661. After seven generations, Martha Ann Marsalis married
Edward G. Bullock in Mississippi on Nov. 30, 1854 giving birth to my
great-grandfather Edward J., whom sequentially married Mattie Pearl Allen,
daughter of John Wesley Allen and Zias Ella Davis, on Aug. 8, 1881 in
Limestone, Texas.
I have no information of Edward G. Bullock's parents or whether he had
any siblings. Edward died in the Civil War after which Martha Ann married
Thomas Jefferson Forrest around 1865, hence the connection to the Forrest
family line.
My goal is to establish the lineage of Edward G. Bullock in hopes of
discovering where he came from and if there are long "lost" cousins that can
be found.
Much of this information was initially researched and passed on to me by
my Uncle Norman Bullock and my "fourth cousin once removed" Lacy L. Forrest, Jr.
