Samuel Bullock

Richard (1) married Elizabeth Ingraham in 1647 and had six children. After her death he married Elizabeth Billington in 1660 and four more children were added (B-2). A son of the first marriage, Samuel (1) married Mary Thurber in 1673 and she died in 1674 giving birth to their daughter Mary (2) (B-3). Soon after, in 1675 Samuel (1) married Thankful Reneff (or Rouse) and had five more children. All of the above names and dates are from Reference 2 as are those that follow. Reference 3 mentions the Bullock name many times and gives a good picture of life and times in early Rehoboth, but gives no indication of the Bullock's vocations or of their class or means.

Samuel was born and died at Rehoboth. His homestead, almost certainly the bulk of his father's estate, which included the landing on Palmer's River at the head of navigation, became known as "The Rocky River Farm" and remained in the family (Bullock and Davis) for more than 200 years. In 1673 he was admitted to the Swanzey (Swansea) Baptist Church. He was declared a freeman of the colony in 1680 and was admitted in 1682. Historical notes say he was a contributor to "King Phillip's War" to the amount of 12 shillings, 8 pence. In 1696 he was nominated to the General Court, but declined to serve. In 1697, Samuel was awarded guardianship of Samuel Barney (born February 6, 1680, to the late Jacob & Ann [Witt] Barney. Another Barney son, Jonathan, went to Solomon Curtis). He was one of the first to acquire land in Swanzey, where he lived for a short time. Samuel, his second wife and sons Ebenezer and Richard, were members of Rev. John Myle's Baptist congregation. He served as a Deacon in this church until his death. On November 15, 1711, Samuel assisted Rev. Samuel Luther of Swanzey in the ordination of William Peckham at the First Baptist Church of Newport. This was the first ordination of a Baptist minister to occur in America.

The "Swanzey" used here and elsewhere is not the Swansea of the present day. There are several Swanseas in the area now. Swanzey was a large, poorly defined, area that included areas that later became Warren, Barrington and other communities, now in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Although there was transfer of lands from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as early as 1747, the boundaries between the two states weren't fully stabilized until 1812. We chose to use the "Swanzey" spelling for sites in the area prior to the Revolution.

Savage used abbreviations extensively in his publication. The above is interpreted as Samuel (Bullock), of Rehoboth, married 12 Nov 1673 Mary Thurber, who died 4 Oct the following year when daughter Mary was born and he married 26 May 1765, Thankful Rouse. They had Thankful born 1681.
