2] Ref: Article by Velda Freeman Evans: The earliest record we have of our ancestor, Joseph Bullard, is his signature on the Watauga Petition, July 1776. Evidently he stayed in this area for some time as we find him on the tax lists for Washington Co., Tennessee, from 1778 to 1781. Then, on August 23, 1784 as a representative from Greene County, Tennessee, he attended a meeting to form the new State of Franklin. In 1778 Capt. Joseph Bullard was killed  during a battle on Lookout Mountain as he led his troops against the Chickamauga, Indians. After this battle when the Indians found the body of Capt. Joseph Bullard, there was much rejoicing because they thought they had killed Gen. John Sevier. Historians record Joseph Bullard strongly resembled John Sevier, who was reputed to have been the most handsome man on the frontier. He was tall and slender, fair with blue eyes and brown hair, and with an erect military carriage and commanding presence. This interesting story gives the only description we have of Joseph Bullard.

 

 

Notes for MARTHA:

[emmons.FTW]

 

Ref: Joseph Bullard article by Vella Freeman Evans, great grandaughter of Jeremiah Anderson Clanton. After Joseph's death, apparently Martha moved to Jefferson County, Tennessee. Many court records in that County, beginning 1791 through December 1810 show Martha and her three sons disposed of numerous parcels of land which Joseph had acquired. No record of her death has been found. Joseph and Isaac Bullard are found throughout the Court Records of Washington County, and in the February Sessions, 1799, is a listing of Joseph Bullard's action on the estate of Isaac Bullard, indicatiog Isaac had died.

Notes for HENRY BULLARD:

1]Reference: CLANTON-Our Cherokee Line by Arva Lee (Bales) Vineyard.

Land records of the Hiwassee District show Henry Bullard's purchase of acreage on Mouse Creek was in 1820. The Hiwassee Purchase of land from the U.S. Government was made in 1819. Henry Bullard's first grant there is No. 382 for 160 acres, bought in 1820. See Book 1, p. 336, in Land Records Section, state Archives, Nashville, Tenn. This grant is described as the SW quarter of Sec. 2, Township 5, Range 3 West.

2] Prior to living in McMinn Co., lived for ten years in Grainger Co., Tennessee.

3] January 20, 1831 sold land to John M.C. Weir : in Hiwassee District....in sec. 11, Tract Township containing 320 acres, which tract of land together with hereditaments and appurtainances thereto belonging ...the said Henry Bullard for himself and his heirs (does convey) to the said John M.C. Weir----(Signed on above date by Henry Bullard). Wit: Nat, Smith and David Weir. Proved in court on 28 Mar. 1831, by the witnesses. (Deed Record Book B., p. 146, at the office of the Count Recorder, Athens, Tenn.) ( Since the witnesses "proved" the deed in court, one could assume that Henry Bullard was gone by 28 Mar., 1831, as the grantor usually proved the deed, A.L.V.)

4]see 1840 Cherokee Co., Alabama census.

5] In 1844, a struggle over the location of the permanent county seat of Cherokee County resulted in election to settle the matter. Henry Bullard was one of three election commissioners who reported on the town of Centre as a proposed location. This indicates the probability that Henry was a well-known land owner and also that he must have lived near Centre, the location of which is given as "on the old Georgia road, one mile from Garrett's Ferry, and in Township 10, Range 9E in the Coosa Land District." (Stewart, Cherokee County History, p. 183).

6]Velma Freeman Evans: Sometime in the late 1840's, a wagon train of pioneers left Alabama and North Carolina going West, and several members of the Bullard family joined them including three children of John Bullard, Sr.. The land records of Newton Co., Missouri show John Bullard, Jr. and his wife Permelia, Henry Bullard and his wife Leah, and Elizabeth Bullard Mc Mahon settled there in 1848.

7] 1850 census-Schedule of Owners of Slaves- McDonald Co., Mo. ;a) Henry Bullard--6 ( 3 males, 3 females)- ages 4-40 b) Nancy Clanton--2 ( 1 female aged 16, 1 female aged 28) Total of slaves in county -81.

8) 1860 - Slave Schedule from census shows Henry Bullard with 10, and Nancy Clanton is not listed. 1860 census McDonald Co., Richwoods Twp., 64, household No. 432, P.O. Kent. (Henry, Leah and Thomas L, Martin)
