2. Samuel Bullock was the son of Richard and Elizabeth ((Ingraham)\par Bullock. He was born in Rehoboth, MA on 19 August 1648. He was married first to\par Mary Thurber of Swansea, Mass. On 12 November 1673. Mary died in\par childbirth on 5 October 1674. Samuel was married again on 26 May 1675 to\par Thankful Rouse . Since her name is not clear in Rehoboth records, it has\par sometimes been read as Renoff and Rounds. Carl Boyer in Ancestral Lines Revised\par has an excellent discussion of her possible ancestry. She survived Samuel but\par her death date is not known.
\par \parThe earliest tax list of Rehoboth in 1671 shows Samuel as a taxpayer. His\par tax was 3 shillings and that of a Widow Bullock, his stepmother, was 11 pence. In\par 1674, he was the only Bullock named on the list of taxpayers in that town. He\par and his brother, John, were named in the list of freeholders of Rehoboth in\par Major William Bradford\rquote s Quit Claim Deeds of 26 December 1689. On 10 June 1706,\par Samuel Bullock of Rehoboth and John Bullock of Providence sold\par land in Rehoboth \endash \ldblquote Aits being ye home lott of our father, Richard Bulluk,\par deceased\rdblquote . \~Samuel and Thankful\par mortgaged land on Palmer\rquote s River on 13 February 1716. The mortgage was recorded\par as paid 17 June 1732 but not signed.
\par \parIn 1675, Samuel was a contributor to the expenses of King Phillip\rquote s War. He\par was made a freeman in 1680 and was admitted in 1682. In 1696, he was chosen as\par a representative to the General Court of Massachusetts but declined to serve.\par He was a Deacon in the 1st Baptist church of Swansea, Mass. As well as being a\par large landholder in Rehoboth, Samuel was one of the first purchasers in\par Swansea, MA.
\par \parAfter 1667, men of Rehoboth set up Swansea as a Baptist township and\par continued to be proprietors and landholders of both Rehoboth and Swansea. Many\par people from Rehoboth who did not agree with the doctrine of the\par Congregationalist Church of Christ in Rehoboth continued to live in Rehoboth\par but became proprietors of Swansea and attended the services at the Baptist\par Church there. Samuel attended the ordination of the Rev. William Peckham as\par pastor of the First Baptist Church at Newport, Rhode Island on 15 November 1711\par with his pastor, Rev. Samuel Luther who served the Swansea church from 1685 to 1716,\par
\par \parHe died at age 69 in Rehoboth on 10 March 1718 and left a will that was\par dated 25 December 1716 and probated 7 April 1718. In the will, he names his\par wife, Thankful, sons, Ebenezer, Samuel, Seth, Daniel and daughter Thankful. The\par inventory taken in 1718 showed assets of 1,282 Pounds, 16 Shillings, and 11\par Pence. It included apparel, money, furniture, brass, pewter, ironware and table\par linen - items that represented a pleasant lifestyle for those times. The\par homestead was valued at 800 Pounds. The inventory included 40 Pounds due from\par Richard Bullock, son, and 70 Pounds for the farm that Ebenezer Bullock lived on\par and 30 Pounds for land given to Ebenezer Bullock.

3. Samuel Bullock, Jr. was born on 7\par November 1683 at Rehoboth, MA. He was the son of Samuel and Thankful (Rouse)\par Bullock. He was married on 21 June 1711 to Anna Salisbury of Swansea,\par MA. She was the daughter of William and Anna (Cole) Salisbury,
\par \parSamuel was a farmer but he also was involved in\par many enterprises. He kept a store with his brothers, Seth and Richard and\par traded by boat with parties at Bristol and Newport, Rhode Island. He also had a\par saw and gristmill. An old memorandum book belonging to Samuel and owned later\par by Jonathan Russell Bullock shows that in 1711-1712, Samuel was the\par Superintendent in building the Second Congregational Church that was erected on\par the first hill just north of the Shad or Orleans factory.
\par \parSamuel died in April 1746 at age 62. His son,\par William was administrator of his estate. He is buried in the old cemetery in\par Rehoboth where his father, Samuel, and his only son, William and many others of\par the Bullock family are buried.
