1st child born of John and Martha Bull
BIO BY RON LAIRAMORE:
Records show that brothers Edward Johnson and John Alexander went to Fayetteville to enlist in the Military. Federal Records show that John's brother, E.J. did not survive the war. He was accidently killed in Waldron Arkansas about one month after his enlistment and buried there in Waldron. Later he was moved from Scott County to the National Cemetery in Fort Smith Arkansas. Federal Records do not show that John Alexander Bull served in the war, so he was hurt or for some reason did not serve in the military. He also did not return home, but went to the Leavenworth Home for Soldiers and lived their until his death in 1895 and is buried in the Leavenworth National Cemetery. Hopefully someday a family member can close this loop of what happened to the two Bull brothers lost to the War.

Additional information received from Richard Bull:
Found a grave photo of John Alexander Bull with bio from Ron Lairamore that stated he was first born of John and Martha Bull. In my research the John Bull in the photo was 36 y/o born in the year 1827 not 1837 and born in New York not Texas, data from the Illinois State Archives. Therefore the two John Bull are not one in the same unless you have documentation to contrary. I do agree in your bio of your GGG Martha J. Bull. Also I recall my father, Robert Allen Bull, having favorable memories of your GG, Aunt Polly. However I do not remember specific comments. Additionally I found your GG father (Polly's husband) William Vinyard Gann was a Union soldier 1st Arkansas Infantry along with Polly's brother Edward J. Bull. Any additional info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Richard Murlin Bull, father: Robert A. Bull, G father: Frederick Bull, GG father: Allen Bull, GGG father: John Bull
