Nancy Bullock

The surname is variously spelled "Bullock" or "Bulloch." Nancy was the first burial at Millwood Cemetery and the cemetery was originally known as the "Nancy Bullock" Cemetery. Nancy was the daughter of Julius and Susanah (Purnell) Horton of North Carolina and the sister of Alexander Horton, aide to Gen. Sam Houston during the Texas Revolution. Nancy married James Whitis Bullock (1788-1859) in about 1817, and they moved to Texas about 1824.

They became legal colonists of the Mexican province of Texas, living there as loyal citizens until 1836 when the Mexican General Santa Ana abolished the Mexican Constitution, declared himself dictator, which precipitated the Texas Revolution, and the march into Texas to drive the colonists out.

Nancy and James then became citizens of the new Republic of Texas until 1845 when Texas joined the Union and they became American citizens once again. For many years they lived in San Augustine County, moving to Collin County late in life.

James and Nancy's children who survived to adulthood were five sons, John Julius, James Dixon, Charles A., Henry, Irvin Uriah, and five daughters, Susan, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, Amanda.
