Jackson T. Bullock, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Russellville, Arkansas
Mr. Bullock, the present efficient incumbent of the officeof Clerk of the Circuit Court is a man of sober, sound judgment,progressive ideas, and one who attracts the regard of all who approach him. He was originally from Weakley County, Tennessee, his birth occurring on September 22, 1855, and was the sixth of eleven children born to William Jefferson and Mary Ann ( Wallace ) Bullock, natives, respectively, of Virginia and Tennessee. The parents were married in the last named State, and the father followed agricultural pursuits until 1856, when he came to Marion County, Arkansas., and from there to Pope County in the following year. His death occurred in this County in 1883. The mother is still living on the old homestead, three miles north of Dover. The paternal great-grandfather of our subject, William Bullock, was an Englishman, and came to the United States about the time of the Revolutionary War. He settled inVirginia, and followed farming there until his death which occurred when our subject's father, William Jefferson Bullock, was an infant. Amos Bullock, grandfather of our subject, was born in the Old Dominion, emigrated to Tennessee at an early day, followed farming, and there his death occurred about 1858. Jackson T. Bullock's educational advantages were limited, for he attended only the common three months' schools. He began teaching at the age of seventeen years and followed that as his principal occupation until the age of thirty-one when he was elected County Judge. He taught many years in one school and was a popular and very successful educator. He held the office of County Judge for two terms ( four years ), and on September 1,1890, he was elected Circuit Clerk of the County. He has ever been an active worker for the Democratic Party. He was married on October 1, 1882, to Miss Winnie Price, a native of this county and daughter of Allen A. Price, one of the early settlers of Tennessee. The fruits of this union were four children: Zola May ( who died at the age of seven months ), Allen Jefferson, Tillie, and Mary Frances. Mr. Bullock is a Mason, of Scottsville Lodge No. 112, and was Master of that Lodge for five years. He has taken the Chapter Degrees. Mrs. Bullock is a member of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Bullock is the owner of a small farm, has forty acres under cultivation, and has a pleasant home in Russellville.
( Since his daughter, Gussie S. ( Bullock ) Wilson was not born until 1893, she is not included in the Goodspeed Biography ).
