Richard Bullock's ancestry has never been satisfactorily proved in spite of research by many people. He first appeared in Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony, in 1644 when he purchased the lot that had been set aside for the Governor. The lot was valued at 200 Pounds. Richard was only about 22 years old at the time, if we accept the statement he made in testifying on a matter regarding the estate of Alexander Winchester in 1648. It is thought that Richard was born in Essex, England in 1622. There is no satisfactory proof of his parentage. It has been said that he came to America with two older brothers, Henry and Edward Bullock in 1635 and that since he was not yet 21, stayed with or near them until he received his patrimony when he came of age (Davis, Davis Family of Rehoboth). Another possibility which has not been researched is the Richard Bullock , son of John Bullock who was baptized 26 May 1622 in Pitchford, Shropshire, England.

Considering the fact that 200 Pounds was a large sum of money for such a young man at that time and that he apparently had a good education since he was chosen to be a town clerk, it would seem that his family in England were of a substantial class. It has also been said that Richard came first to Rhode Island and associated with Roger Williams, also with no proof (Pierce, A Bullock Family History).

On August 4, 1647, Richard Bullock married Elizabeth Ingraham in Rehoboth. She is said to have been the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Wignall) Ingraham and a descendant of Sir Arthur Ingraham of
Watertown, Mass. Elizabeth was born about 1629 and died at the age of 30 on January 7, 1659/60, shortly after the birth of her sixth child, Hopestill.

On July 21, 1660, Richard married Elizabeth Billington, daughter of Francis and Christian (Penn)
Billington and grand-daughter of John Billington who arrived in New England on the Mayflower. The
Billington family was described by Gov.William Bradford as "ye profanest family" and John Billington
received the distinction of being the first man hanged in the Plymouth Colony for committing a murder.

Richard Bullock's home lot was along the road leading to the common opposite the lot of Rev. Samuel
Newman. During his lifetime, Richard was given additional lands. He drew rights in the "Great (Seekonk) Plain " in 1644 and in 1647 he was allotted the rights of Nathan Pratt's land after Mr. Pratt left Rehoboth. In June 1653 he was one of 49 residents who were allowed to draw meadow lands and in 1658 he again shared in a drawing of lands in the northern part of the town. On 1 October 1661 he was given "soo much land at the watersyde, against the end of his lott as should be judged to be convenient to sell". In 1666, he also shared in the division of the Wannamoisett lands. He spent all of his life in Rehoboth. It has been widely accepted that he was in Newtown Long Island in 1656, but this was probably the Richard Bullock who was named as having a debt to our Richard?s estate - probably a relative, maybe a nephew. It could not have been his son, Richard who was only a baby when his father died.

Certainly, Richard was a farmer as were most of the men of that time, but in addition, he was the Town Clerk of Rehoboth from 1659 to the time of his death. Colonial records show he was made a freeman in May 1646 but do not state his residence. As town clerk, he was paid a salary plus an additional amount for each birth, marriage and death record that he inscribed. He appeared to be an honorable citizen of the town. He took the Oath of Fidelity in 1656. In 1662 the records show that he was appointed to serve on a committee regarding liquor and powder shipments and that on June 8, 1664 he was chosen to collect the "Assize" tax.

Richard Bullock was licensed to keep a ferry at Palmer's River on 1 March 1664 by the Plymouth Colony. This allowed him to ferry horses from Rehoboth across the Pawtucket (Blackstone) River to the Providence
Plantation of Roger Williams . It appears that he already had a ferry and this allowed him to build a horse ferry in addition. He also was granted the right to sell liquor "to strangers and passengers but not to town dwellers ."

It has been suggested that Richard was a member of the Baptist church of which the Rev. John Myles was pastor. We do know that shortly after Richard's death, several of his children were active in that church. As a respected citizen and a freeman, Richard almost certainly attended the Congregationalist Church of the Rev. Samuel Newman. Since the Bullock property was closer to Swansea and the church in Swansea was Baptist, the family may have attended it after Newman's death in 1663. Rehoboth town records show that in 1666, Richard protested at a town meeting that the church, rather than the citizens should choose the minister.

Richard died on 22 November, 1667. Books were listed among the items on his inventory along with a pewter spoon, arms & ammunition, and 3 blankets as the items with most value. Livestock consisted of "2 yearlings, 2 steers, one heefer, one horse and 6 cows". He had dairy vessels with beer barrel and was owed 23 shillings from Richard Bullock. This could not have been his son, Richard who was born shortly before he died, therefore, there must have been another Richard Bullock in New England at that time. Possibly the Richard who was listed in Newtown, Long Island was this other Richard Bullock. [ingram1.FTW]

Richard Bullock was born in Essex, London, England on July 16, 1622. His parents were Henry and Susan Bullock. Carl Boyer states "The English ancestry of Richard Bullock may come to light with the increasing index work being done by the Society of Genealogists in London and the computer compilations of parish registers being done in Salt Lake City".

On Jan. 16, 1643, Richard Bullock was a witness on the will of John Allsopp of Bonsall, Derby County. Richard Bullock was of record as one of the fifty-eight proprietors of Rehoboth in 1644, his name being #32 on called the Governors lot rated at 200 pounds.
He was listed as a freeman in May, 1645 and as such he was alotted the rights in the town land of Matthew Pratt, who had left in 1647.
In testimony about the estate of one Alexander Winchester on July 16, 1647 he stated that he was then 25 years old. Richard Bullock testified that after the death of Winchester he had inquired of his widow how she would dispose of the children and that she answered her husband had taken course for them. Bullock was a witness to the inventory taken by Richard Bowen and two others.
In June of 1653, he was one of 49 to draw meadows in the northern part of Rehoboth. In 1656 he sold 253 acres of land to Henry Fowler. That same year he visited Newton, L.I., with a view of settling there, but he returned to Rehoboth.
In 1657 he took the oath of fidelity, and on June 22, 1658 he shared in the drawing of lots in the north part of town. He was a witness on Jan. 9, 1660 on a deed from S. Pain to Thomas Chaffey. On April 7, 1662. he witnessed the will of John Brown, Sr. of Rehoboth.
He was chosen for a committee to investigate traffic in "liquors and powders" with the Indiansin 1662, and in 1664 he was licensed to keep a ferry on Palmer's River. On June !8, 1664, he was chosen to collect the town "assize".
He had settled on a tract of several hundred acres lying mostly along the west bank of the river extending from near the northern boundary of Swansea to a point a mile north of the Orleans Factory site. In 1666 he shared in the division of the Waunamoisett lands.
In 1666 he protested in the town meeting that the church rather than the citizens should choose the minister. It is believed that he and his family, until after his death, attended church in Swansea, after the death of the Rev. Samuel Newman in 1663. The Swansea church was closer to their home, and was Baptist rather than Congregational.
He married first Elizabeth Ingraham in Rehoboth on Aug. 4, 1647. She was born July 10, 1625 and died in Jan. 1659. He married second Elizabeth Billington, daughter of Francis Billington, grand-daughter of John Billington of the Mayflower, in Rehoboth on Sept. 21, 1660.
Richard Bullock died intestate before Nov. 22, 1667 in Rehoboth, Mass. The inventory of his estate was taken that day and no real estate is mentioned.
His second wife, Elizabeth, married her second husband, Robert Beere on June 25, 1673 and her third husband, Thomas Patey in 1679. She was still alive in 1707.
All of Richard's children were born in Rehoboth; the first six by his first wife and the last four by his second wife.

His children were:

1. Samuel Bullock, b. Aug. 11, 1648; m. Mary Thurber, Nov. 12,1673 at Swansea; second wife, Thankful Rouse, May 26, 1675 at Rehoboth; d. Mar 10, 1717.
2. Elizabeth Bullock, b. Oct. 9, 1650.

Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in New England, by Nathaniel B. and David Pulsifer Shurtleff, Vol. V, p.27 contains the last will and testament of Richard Bullock.

Richard married Elizabeth INGRAHAM on 04 Aug 1647 in Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts. Elizabeth (daughter of Richard INGRAHAM and Elizabeth WIGNALL) was born about 1629 in England; died on 07 Jan 1657 in Rehoboth, Bristol , Masschusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
Of his early history nothing more is known than is contained in the following extract from the History of the Baptists in America, compiled by the Reverend Isaac Backus. "Sampson Mason was a soldier in the Cromwell's army and he came to America upon the turn of the times in England and settled in Rehoboth and his posterity are now as numerous as, perhaps those of any man who came to our country in his day" (Vol. 2, page 435). Backus probably gained his information from grandsons of Sampson Mason who were pastors of the Second Church of Swansea at the tie the history was written, and possibly his wife, who was a great-granddaughter of Sampson Mason, may have related to him some of the family traditions. However this may be, the authenticity of the statement can scarcely be doubted.

Sampson married Mary BUTTERWORTH. Mary was born in England; died on 29 Aug 1714 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Obadiah married Mary CLIFTON in 1647 in Swansea, MA. Mary was born in 1628 in England; died about 11 Dec 1708 in Swansea, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
