Since there is no place to enter an alternate surname for a male, I've entered Bullock as his middle name. It was not his middle name, it was the surname that he used after the Civil War.
He was the son of Moses Bullock.
He enlisted in the 5th U.S. Colored Cavalry, Company F on September 13, 1864 at Camp Nelson, Kentucky under the name Samuel Skinner. His military records are recorded under that name; his military pension record notes both of his surnames. He mustered out on March 16, 1866 in Helena, Arkansas.
He was included in the 1880 census for Sandersville, Fayette County together with his wife Susan nee Miller, and in the 1900 and 1910 Fayette County census as a widower. He received a military disability pension in 1890. He was included in the 1890 veteran's census in Sandersville, Fayette County. All of these were under the Bullock surname, as was his death certificate.
He was buried on Dec. 7, 1914 at the National Cemetery per the Lexington National Cemetery's burial register. The burial register, interestingly, uses the Bullock surname but the gravestone uses the Skinner surname.
Samuel Bullock/Skinner proceeded directly from slavery to the war against slavery. He was owned at the time of his enlistment by Isaac C. Skinner of Clark County, Kentucky. Isaac Skinner filed a claim in 1866 asking for federal compensation for the loss of his slave. In the claim, he stated that he had owned Samuel’s mother and had owned Samuel from birth.
Samuel's father Moses Bullock was included, as a boy or young man, n the 1812 probate records for slaveowner David Bullock of Clark County. Moses was described as the son of Dilly (Bullock), whose husband was Peter Bullock.
