My Genealogy Hound

Below is a family biography from the book, History of Kentucky, Edition 7 by J. H. Battle, W. H. Perrin and G. C. Kniffin and published by F. A. Battey Publishing Company in 1887.  These biographies are valuable for genealogy research in discovering missing ancestors or filling in the details of a family tree. Family biographies often include far more information than can be found in a census record or obituary.  Details will vary with each biography but will often include the date and place of birth, parent names including mothers' maiden name, name of wife including maiden name, her parents' names, name of children (including spouses if married), former places of residence, occupation details, military service, church and social organization affiliations, and more.  There are often ancestry details included that cannot be found in any other type of genealogical record.

HENRY H. BULLOCK was born in Boone County, Ky., September 7, 1824. His father, Davis Bullock, a native of Kentucky, was born in 1795, and was a farmer and trader; he died in 1845, leaving a widow, who still survives at the age of ninety-five. The great grandparents of our subject came from New York to Kentucky at an early day, and settled in Boone County, where they bought a tract of 3,000 acres of land and engaged in farming and stock raising. Henry H. Bullock left Boone County at the age of ten years, and lived in Kenton County, Ky., until the age of nineteen, when he moved to Pendleton County. In 1846 he married Miss Frances M. Mullens, daughter of Richard Mullens, of Grass Creek, Pendleton Co., Ky. After his marriage Mr. Bullock engaged in farming until 1851, when he entered mercantile business in Falmouth, which he pursued for four years, after which he engaged in general trading. In 1870 he became interested in the tobacco business, in which he is still engaged in connection with general trading. He is the father of nine children, viz.: Missouri A., Rebecca M., Catherine C., Rachel M., Alice, Fanny, Cora L., Belle and Sallie. Mr. Bullock owns large and valuable tracts of land in Pendleton and the adjoining counties, which he devotes to raising fine stock and tobacco.
