Bullocks of GA , AL, FL during late 19th & early 20th century
Bullock Info
Jeptha (Jepna) Bullock married Ada Searcy on February 24, 1841 in Wilkinson County, GA. I know they moved to Alabama then back to Georgia and that Jeptha died in Early Co. GA in June of 1883. I obtained his death mention in a local newspaper. I believe Jeptha?s parents were James Bullock and Unknown (this James is the James Bullock who married his second wife, Elizabeth Searcy, also in Wilkinson Co. GA). I believe Jeptha?s paternal grandparents were John Bullock and Sarah Mayo, and paternal great grandparents were David Bullock & Elizabeth Hood, this last is from other resources.
Jeptha and Ada had at least children 9 children: Three girls & Six Boys
Sarah Bullock b. about 1842 d. February 13, 1927 married George Shelton Pickle on 2-18-1861. Several known children from this marriage, Known Census Locations {1860 Early Co. GA, 1870 Early Co. GA}
[Note other researchers think that the Sarah Bullock who married G. S. Pickle was from Decatur Co. GA, but I believe that is incorrect because ?my Sarah Bullock? and her family was listed as next-door neighbors to the family of George S. Pickle in the only census that I have found her own as a Bullock, 1860 Early Co. GA.]
Elizabeth Bullock b. about 1846 d. unknown date and place. Known Census Locations {1860 Early Co. GA}.

One known child of this marriage John S. Bullock b. about 1868 in Georgia. Known Census Locations {1860 Early Co, GA, 1870 Early Co. GA}

John A. Bullock b. about 1848 in Alabama d. before 1877 married Harriet L. Hatcher (Parks / Story), b. about 1850 in Lee Co. GA died August 24, 1924 in Muscogee Co.

[I found a living granddaughter (as of 11-18-2007) of Harriet Hatcher, by her third husband, she informed me that she remembered her grandmother telling her that her first husband, Parks, worked with lumber he died from an accident. Also, that her second husband, the Bullock, ?died in the line of duty,? her granddaughter could not remember specifically if a sheriff or police officer. ]
