William had 7 slaves in 1810 and 2 slaves in 1790.
There is a possibility that Wm was married prior to Eliza Jane. There is a marriage in Charles City, VA of Wm Bullington married 17 Apr 1790 to a Frances Bradley. Since he had two slaves in 1790 this is a very good possibility., William moved with his parents to Pittsylvania County, VA during the Revolution.
William moved to Jackson County, TN in 1822 from Sandy River, Pittsylvania Co., VA and settled on Blackburn's Fork of the Roaring River. In 1826 William entered 100 acres and 50 acres on 4 Feb 1826 on Blackburn's Fork of the Roaring River and both were surveyed 19 Jul 1827. Josiah, Tyre and Henry also received land grants on Blackburn's Fork of the Roaring River in the 1820's.
William served as an Ensign in the War of 1812.
In a book about Cookeville Tennessee History, written by Walter McCain, in 1925, there is a bit of information on William and 4 of his sons. On page 21, Chp 8, it states that William C. Bullington settled NW of present Cookeville in what is called the Shipley neighborhood. It continues to say that of four sons, Josiah & Henry located their homes near their birthplace, and, John & Tyre settled on Walton road a few miles west of Cookeville.
