Notes:

The Bullock lineage stems back to the ancient seat in Arborfield, Berk s h i re, England. The surname is traced 300 years before general adopt i o n o f surnames and was spelled Bulluc, Bullok, Bullae, and Bulloch. I t s coa t of arms is very ancient, characterized by several bullock s a mi d o ther emblems. Family tradition sustains the record that findi n g a ch il d in a bull's manager was the origin of the name.

Richard Bullock, an immigrant born in 1622 in Essex, England, was acco m p a nied in 1636 by his two brothers Henry and Edward to America. One s et t le d in Virginia. Richard lived most of this life in Rehoboth, but a ls o i n N ewton, L.l., for a time. Lists of emigrants give Henry of St . Law renc e, E ssex and Edward of Berkshire, but no county is listed fo r Richa rd.

The maternal lineage of Drake, Reed, Richmond & Rogers descends fr o m T h omas Rogers of the Mayflower who died in 1621 in Plymouth. Drak e i s o n e of the oldest families of history. The name Drake is from lat in " drag o • and signifies one who draws or leads. The first Drake or Dr ago i n Eng la nd was a Roman soldier who came with the army of Julius Ca esar . Instea d o f returning to Rome, he stayed in England and settled i n Dev on when W illi am I came in 1066.

Mt. Drake was an early manor to Musbury. It was given to the Drak e s b y W illiam of England. It was
home of most of our ancestry.

The Bullocks and Kimballs were prominent in New Hampshire where Benj a m i n and Dorothy were married, only a short distance from the Prophe t Jo se p h Smith's birthplace 20 years before. After the third baby wa s born , th e y moved to Moira, New York, where Dorothy and family were c onverte d thr ou gh John Riggs as missionary. Soon John married Jane, th e eldest , but M orm ons being extremely unpopular, the townspeople mobbe d them, s o the co upl e left town. When his mission was over, the Bulloc ks moved t o Nauvoo.

After the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, they moved south of Na u v o o to Green Plain. The next year their home as burned before their e ye s, a nd in the spring of 1846, they fled into the wilderness west of M iss i ssip pi, living at Council Bluff until 1852, when they set out fo r Utah . On th e North Platte River, Benjamin took sick and asked to be b aptized . His so n Isaac did this to the joy of all. However, the ailmen t prov e d to be ch olera. He was buried 27 July 1852.

In October 1956, a plaque of Mormon Pioneers was dedicated at Garden G r o v e, Iowa by Apostle Ezra Taft Benson in honor of those driven from N au v o o and stopped at this Iowa City, in their long trek westward. Pres ide n t I.A. Smoot of Chicago was a guest speaker whose own grandparent s we r e list ed there 104 years before.

With Benjamin and Dorothy Kimball Bullock were three sons Benjamin Kim b a l l, with his wife, Isaac and Jared John and Mary Ann (Roberts). Jan e R i gg s had migrated west in 1851 with Dr. John, her husband, preparin g f o r th e Bullocks coming.


This history is taken from the records of Isaac Bullock, a son. I t i s e s pecially interesting as Benjamin made acquaintance with Michae l Cha ndl e r who inherited some mummies from his uncle, Antonio Lebolo . He ev ent ua lly was asked by Mr. Chandler to take him to meet Josep h Smith wh o tra nsl ated them as the Book of Abraham in the Pearl of Gre at Price.

"Benjamin Bullock III was born March 30, 1792 in Grafton, New Hampshi r e . Originally his progenitors came from England; and, with the Pilgri m s , turned their backs to the religious tyranny of their homeland. So m e c a me on the Mayflower and others came on the ship, Abigail, in Jun e 16 3 3 an d settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

"Benjamin Bullock III married Dorothy (Dolly) Kimball, a cousin of H e b e r C. Kimball. Thus, the Bullocks knew a little about the Mormons . T h e B ullocks were living in Moirie, New York when Benjamin went to N ew Y or k Ci ty where he happened upon Michael Chandler in the Custom Hou se. M r. Chan dler had just received an inheritance of some mummies and s crol l s from hi s uncle, Antonio Lebolo. They had been found in the cata com b s of Thebes, Egypt. He wondered what to do with them. Benjamin to l d h im of the Pr ophet Joseph Smith's ability to translate ancient reco rd s. After showin g the mummies and scrolls up and down the coastal cit i e s for about two ye ars, Mr. Chandler accepted Benjamin's offer to ta k e hi m, the mummies an d scrolls to Kirtland, Ohio to meet the prophet . T he y piled them all int o an old buckboard wagon and left for Kirtlan d, O hio. Mr. Chandler was i mpressed with the prophet's translations an d gav e h im a certificate to th at effect, and offered to sell the Churc h th e mumm ies and scrolls. Two b rethren went among the saints and obta ine d suffic ient money to purchase t he remaining 4 mummies and the scro ll s which wer e displayed in the Kirtla nd Temple. Speculation soared a s t o who the mu mmies were. The Prophet t old part of his family that a t lea st one was a n Egyptian king and one hi s queen and one was their C hild . The Prophe t Joseph Smith translated th e scrolls, which are now i n th e Pearl of Gre at Price as the Book of Abrah am.

"Even though all the family but Benjamin and his son, Isaac, who wa s a w a y in New York City, studying at Columbia University, became membe r s o f th e Church at that time, there was speculation why Benjamin di d no t jo in th e church since he was always favorably impressed with th e trut hfuln ess o f the gospel. Some thought he felt he could defend th e Mormon s bet ter i f he wasn't one of them; and others felt that he cou ldn't ove rcom e a ba d habit and thus felt unworthy.

"Soon the persecution aimed at the church members became so bad tha t t h e y weren't happy living in New York; so they sold their home and l oad e d th eir belongings and left for Nauvoo, driving all of their far m anim al s bef ore them. The Prophet Joseph and Hyrum had been slain wh en th e Bu llock s arrived and they bought a farm and a new frame house a t Gree n Pla ins ne ar the city of Nauvoo. While here, in October 1844, t heir so n, Is aac, jo ined them, having Completed his law course at Colum bia Univ ersity. He al so joined the Church; but in the fall of 1845, the y were dr ive n from thei r home by a mob. Their new home was burned befo re their e yes. They too k refuge in the city of Nauvoo for the winter, b ut early i n t he spring o f 1846 they were obliged to flee with the bod y of the Chu rc h into the wil derness west of the Mississippi River. The y lived at Co un cil Bluffs, Iow a until 1852 when they set out for Utah.

"When they arrived at the Platte River, Benjamin Bullock became il l w i t h cholera. His son, Isaac, baptized him in the river at Benjamin' s re q ue st. He only lived 5 hours and was wrapped in a blanket and bur ie d o n th e banks of the Platt River without a coffin on July 27, 1852. "

Benjamin married Dorothy Kimball on 24 Jan 1818 in Grafton, Grafton, New Hampshire, United States. Dorothy (daughter of John Kimball and Dorothy Hoyt) was born on 6 Apr 1799 in Grafton, Grafton, New Hampshire, United States; died on 23 Sep 1853 in Provo, Utah, Utah, United States; was buried in Provo, Utah, Utah, United States.

Dorothy (Dolly) Kimball was born 6 April 1799 in Grafton, New Hampshi r e . She was a cousin of Heber C. Kimball, who later became an apost l e i n t he Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) church.

She married Benjamin Bullock III on the 24th of January 1818 in Graft o n , New Hampshire. They had 7 children, the two youngest, Dorothy, dy i n g b efore she was two years old, and the next one being named Doroth y M el issa, dying just before turning 5 years old. Both born in Moira , N e w Yor k about the time she heard of the Church.

However, she had heard only bad lies about the church, and when she f o u n d a Book of Mormon hidden in her house, she was going to burn it . B u t cu riosity was too much and she decided to read it first and upo n rea di ng it, knew it was true. A missionary, Elder John Riggs, contac ted a n d taugh t the family; fell in love with their daughter, Jane, who m he l at er marri ed on 8 October 1843 in Moira, New York. Dorothy was t he fir s t member o f their family to join the Church. She dearly loved t he miss i onaries. B ecause of the threats of the townspeople to tar an d feathe r J ohn Riggs, t he Bullocks left Moira, packing their wagons an d drivin g the ir animals be fore them.

All of her family joined the church in Moira except her husband, Benja m i n. He supported the rest of the family in their beliefs, but becau s e o f p ersecution, probably thought he could be of more help not bei n g a mem ber.

When they arrived in Nauvoo in 1844, they found out that Joseph and H y r u m had just been martyred. They bought a new house in Green Plains , j u s t south of Nauvoo. In 1845 their new house was burned before thei r e y e s and they moved into Nauvoo for safety where they worked on th e temp l e f or a while. However, they fled with the body of the Church i n 184 6 a nd s ettled in Council Bluffs, Iowa until 1852 when they left f or th e Wes t. T hey were in the 17th Company of Saints to cross the plai ns an d chol era br oke out. Benjamin had their son, Isaac, baptize him i n th e Platt e river. He was sick with this disease and passed away soo n after , bein g burie d in a blanket on the banks of the river.

They settled in Provo, close to her daughter, Jane and her husband D r . J o hn Riggs, as soon as they arrived in the valley. It was almos t a y ea r t o the day, September 23, 1853, after arriving in Utah that D oroth y pa sse d away also of Cholora at the age of 54.
