William wrote his will in County Essex, England, which states, "William Bullocke, Gentleman , of Essex, being bound for Virginia in the parts beyond the seas." His will was not proved until 16 May 1650, which may have been many years later than it was written. It mentions wife Elizabeth, son Robert, and daughter Frances. William may have first come to Virginia a s early as 1624 aboard the "Jonathan," and settled in Warwick County. A1624 census shows him staying at "ye plantation over against James Citties over the river." He traveled back and forth between London and Virginia, as his father did. In 1637 his father deeded "William Bullock, of London, Gentleman" his corn mill, saw mill, plantation, and fleet of ships in Virginia. William may have had a son William alive in 1637, but he was not mentioned again in the 1649 will of his grandfather, only Robert and Frances. There are transportation records for William in 1638, so he probably returned to Virginia then permanently. The wording of his father's will in 1649 seems to indicate that William had removed to the lands deeded him at least ten years earlier.In 1649, William wrote a pamphlet entitled "Virginia ImPartially Examined, Etc." which is abstracted in the *Cyclopedia of Virginia Biography*, Vol. I, pag e 102.
