was a successful practitioner, and that he died at Mt. Vernon about 1826. But the Dartmouth General Catalogue gives the name as that of a graduate of 1793, who received a medical degree at Harvard, and died in 1836, aged 61, which makes it doubtful whether he was Asa, the son of Ebenezer.

BULLARD (JOHN).
JOHN1 BULLARD, of Watertown, was one of the first settlers at Ded- ham, signing the "Dedham Covenant" in 1636. He was also one of the original proprietors of Medfield, to which he removed about 1650, and where he died July 4, 1668. He m. (1) Magdalen - [d. Mar. 20, 1661] ; (2) Ellen, widow of Thomas Dickerman of Dorchester.

He settled in New Ipswich at about the same time as Ebenezer of the preceding family, who was probably his kinsman, although, as is shown above, their connection through the family name must have been very distant. The two lived together, however, for ten or twelve years, but upon his marriage Joseph settled on the next lot to the west, (II : 2, S. R.,) and soon after he removed to Mason, where he passed his life upon a farm which has been occupied by successive generations of his descendants. Children :
