By the time of the 1880 census, the family had settled in Caro, Tuscola County, Michigan, where James's father was a pork butcher as he had been in Canada.

1) Evelyn A. Bullen (1900-1980), whose first husband was a Mr. Lovett, and whose second huband was Arthur A. Peterson;
2) Carolyn "Patsy" Bullen (1902-2000), who married Raymond Victor Marshall;
3) John Augustus Bullen, (1905-1980), who married Eleanor Kay Ramlow.
In the 1920s James had his own butcher shop in Ward 4 of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan. By 1930 he had returned to Flint, Genesee County, Michigan where he had lived briefly prior to his move to Detroit.
