BULLARD.
CHAPTER III.
3. John Bullard was undoubtedly the brother of Benjamin1 and Wm.,1 and is presumed to have first settled with them at Watertown, where he became a member of the chh., and from which he with others was dismissed and received to the chh. in Dedham, 30 (5) 1641, " Mr. Phillips, pastor, and Messrs. Carter and How, elders, testifying in their favour." He was one of the original proprietors of Dedh., had land assigned him adjoining to his brother William's, and probably removed to D. as early as 1637. He was rated at D. as one of her more able citizens in 1647, and private accounts were early entered against him abroad as one of " the two Bullards at D." In 1650 he became one of the select proprietors of the new town of Med- field, enjoying with them in such a degree the confidence of the Genera Court, that, in the act of incorporation, they were not bound, as in all similar cases, within a specified time to build a mecting-house, settle a minis- ter, and establish a school ; their character being a pledge that these things would be attended to in due season. He immediately removed to M., where he shared largely in the division of her public lands, and enjoyed the respect and confidence of her citizens. In all these removals he accompanied Samuel Morse and sons,' with whom and the Bullards a near relationship is presumed to have existed. On removing to M. be pr. left his place in D. to his son John, and pr. son Isaac. He m. Magdalene - -- , who d. 29 (1) 1661, and 2d Ellen Dickerman, wid. of Tho.

CHAPTER IV.
4. Isaac Bullard,1 on page 22, is confounded with Isaac,2 the son of Wm.,1 of Chap. VI. Since the preceding Chapts. were printed, I have consulted an ancient Record of Dedh., recently discovered, from which it appears, that Isaac,1 although he signed her social compact, doubtless at Watertown, never re- moved to D. ; for, on the first division of her lands, 18 (6) 1636, no lot was as- signed him, or afterwards ; and, as he was not taxed at D., nor, again, certainly mentioned on her records ; and as his name nowhere occurs on the records of Watertown, he probably either deceased Aug. 15, --- 18, 1636, or altered bis purpose, and returned to England. It is not ascertained that he had a family. It is possible, that the Isaac who m. Sarah Jones, from Dorch., in 1654, was his son ; but more probably, the son of his brother John.1 His name was commemorated by his brother Wm. and nephew Benj., and, very likely, by his brother John, with whom Benj.2 is supposed to have resided, after the death of his father.
CHAPTER V.
5. Nathaniel Bullard, appears from the record above mentioned, and from family documents in the possession of Lewis Bullard, Esq., of Dedh., not to have been of the first generation of Bullards in N. Eng., but the son of Wm.1 For his family, see Chap. VI., No. 12.
CHAPTER VI.
6. Mm. Bullard,1 was probably the oldest Puritan of the name who settled in N. Eng., and evidently a man of character and consideration. Circum- stances almost conclusive, indicate that he was the brother of Benjamin,1 John,1 and Isaac,1 but not of Robert1 or George1. Of the time and place of his embarka- tion, no positive evidence has been discovered : still, we are not in total darkness about them. While on his voyage, it would seem that he became a witness of the nuncupative will of James Harvie, of Gamscolne, Essex county, (pr. now Colne Engaine, or Little Colne), Engd., who died on shipboard, leaving property in trust for a brother at Wethersfield, near G., and desiring Wm. Bullard " to take the whole business upon himself." This indicates that they had been neighbors. The will has no date. It was not probated until * *
* 1638, and then sworn to by Wm. Bullard ; [see Suf. Prob., 1, 15;] but as it provided that the avails of the property should be loaned two years to poor Christians before it should be sent

back to Engd., he not improbably delayed for more than two years, until he had collected the property loaned ; then made oath to the will, and at the same time proved the fulfilment of his trust. This would make him arrive in 1635, the year when so many came over, among whom were two others of the name of Harvie, and Samuel Morse and family, and no doubt his brother Joseph Morse, probable con- nections of the Bullards, each of whom had dispatched a son the year previous, as if to prepare tenements at Watertown against their arrival. These sons embarked at Ipswich, a convenient port for emigrants from Essex county. Samuel Morse embarked in the " Increase," Apl. 15, 1635, at London, another convenient place of embarkation for families from Suffolk or Essex, from one of which, since the publication of my Memorial of the Morses, I have been induced to believe my great . ancestor originated. If Wm. Bullard came in the Increase, which was not im- probable, he must have embarked clandestinely, as distinguished Puritans were then obliged to do, for his name is not among her 112 enrolled passengers, nor on any similar list yet discovered. .
He no doubt settled first at Watertown, and united with her church, from which he was dismissed in 1641. Here he engaged in the enterprise of planting Dedh. His name is enrolled as the 53d signer of her social compact, and is found among the first to whom her lands were assigned, and on whom taxes were imposed. In the spring of 1637 he, with his wife and children, was pr. of the company who in boats ascended Chs. R. from W. to Ded., and on landing on the E. bank of Dwight's brook, knelt in prayer for the blessing of Almighty God upon their settle-
ment. He had land assigned adjacent to his brother John, and probably near West Common. Here he remained, and was annually taxed as an able inhabitant, and became one of the number to whom the management of the municipal interests of the town were confided. About 1653 he removed to Cambridge, where he m. 2d, Mary Grissel [Griswold], wid. of Francis G., who " had an estate, and two children by her former husband," and became with her a member of the chh. at Cambridge. He made his will in 1679, " being then about 85 years old." To this he added a codicil, May 2, 1684, and d. at his daughter Farrington's, in Ded., Dec. 23, 1686 ; and on the third day following, his estate was inventoried and his will subsequently probated ; [Suf. Prob., 9, 180.] He left a considerable estate in lands on Mystic R., in Charlestown, and in Ded. Nathl. his son, was appointed one of his executors, to whom he bequeathed his real estate in Ded.
