In 1967 one Vera Calico found the graves of Robert and Agnes Bullock.

Her letter, dated Dec. 14, 1967 "First to be buried on the extreme south end is: ROBERT BULLOCK/ Di Oct. 12, 1821 / Age 96 yrs. AGNES BULLOCK / Born Jan. 1776 / Died July 20, 1872 / Age 96 yrs. 6 months / Lo, the prisoner is released / Lightened of her fleshy load, / Where the weary are at rest / She is gathered unto God. W. K. Bryant"

Robert's Father's family Bible:

John Bullock. The family Bible is in possession of Amanda Bullock Wallis, Lexington, KY. In it is recorded the following, according to a letter to Marion Wooters, Mar. 1, 1967:
John Bullock and Ann Rice married Feb. 4, 1755, Louisa, VA.
Children:
Rice Bullock born Dec. 17, 1755 Died with (sic?) issue
William Dec. 28, 1757 no account for
David Dec. 17, 1759 M. Catherine Roy
Robert Feb. 21, 1762 Cousin Agnes or Agatha
Lewis Feb. 24, 1764 Mary Chinn
Elisabeth Feb. 19, 1766 Garland
Edward June 6, 1768 no account of
Mary Jan. 4, 1770 Spinster
Rebecca Jan. 17, 1773 Spinster
Nancy Nov. 21, 1777 no account of


Robert Bullock. According to the John Bullock family Bible mentioned above, Robert Bullock was born Feb. 21, 1762, probably in Louisa Co., Va., since the family lived there. Just when he went to Kentucky is undetermined. The 1790 census of KY. was destroyed but the reconstruction using tax lists names only Lewis, probably Robert's brother, in Fayette Co., March 19, 1790. Robert was in the 1800 census, also reconstructed from tax lists; he was taxed in Mason Co., KY., May 10, 1800. Lewis was the only other Bullock in Mason Co. at that time.

Robert's will was dated June 21, 1821, Mason Co., KY. and proved in the same county, Jan. court, 1822. (W.B. E – p. 249) In it he refers to his wife Agnes and mentions his children, but not by name. Only from the Louisa Co., Va. will of Rebecca Bullock, Robert's sister, do we learn officially the identity of his heirs. (W.B. 10, 1837-1842 p. 169) This will was proved Aug. 12, 1839. She, apparently, never married, so in her will divided her property among nieces and nephews. Item one mentions the family of brother Robert, deceased: heirs of James W. Bullock, deceased; eldest daughter of Louisa E. (Lewis E. in next sentence); and Ann W. Yancey. David R. Bullock was also a son of Robert and Agnes. In Oct. 1967 Vera Bullock Calico found this grave in an old burying ground outside of Orangeburg, KY. The following is the inscription on his tombstone: "My husband/ David r. Bullock / Son of Robert and Agnes Bullock / Died Dec. 16, 1871 / Age 71 yrs. 7 months /

In the 1850 census of Mason Co., KY. Agnes Bullock – age 74, born in Va. – is in the household of David R. Bullock.

Descendants claim that Robert married Agnes Bullock, daughter of James and his second wife, Ann Waller. If so, Agnes and Robert were first cousins. The veracity of this statement is suggested by the will of James, which names sis son-in-law Robert Bullock and his daughter Agnes Bullock. (Will, May 18, 1813, Fayette Co., Ky.) See paragraph 4. We know James' brother John had a son Robert.

Vera Calico also found the graves of Robert and Agnes Bullock. Her letter, dated Dec. 14, 1967 "First to be buried on the extreme south end is: ROBERT BULLOCK/ Di Oct. 12, 1821 / Age 96 yrs. AGNES BULLOCK / Born Jan. 1776 / Died July 20, 1872 / Age 96 yrs. 6 months / Lo, the prisoner is released / Lightened of her fleshy load, / Where the weary are at rest / She is gathered unto God. W. K. Bryant"

[note age of Robert seems to be in error - and ironically is teh same age as Agnes]
