Roger G. BULKELEY came into Vermont from Colchester, Conn., where he was born May 6, 1786. After being in Yale College awhile he commenced the study of law in his native state, but completed his studies in the office of Charles BULKELEY, at Montpelier. He was admitted to the bar in Orleans county, August 8. 1809, and immediately commenced practice in Williamstown, where he remained until the War of 1812. He enlisted and served through the war, and returned holding the warrant of a non-commissioned officer. His home was in Washington a part of the time through the war and until 1817. At that time he moved onto a farm in Duxbury, and finally moved to Moretown, where he resided until his decease, February 2, 1862, and was a pensioner at the time of his death. Mr. BULKELEY was justice of the peace, town agent, lister, selectman, and an active member of the Constitutional Convention of 1857. He married Sally TAYLOR, of Berlin, about 1808, and they were parents of twelve children who lived to mature age, five of whom are now living, George, Harry, and Lucy (Mrs. Austin G. PRENTISS) in Moretown, Charles in Clinton, Conn., and Rowland T. in Illinois. George BULKELEY has held the positions of lister, town agent, and selectman, and was representative in 1863. Harry has represented Duxbury in the legislature several terms, and is now the agent of Moretown.
