Two different Family Tree's for Robert Bullington of Spartanburg &
his distant relative Robert Bullington of Pittsylvania Co VA

Two proposed Theories of the Bullington Family Lineage: provided by Richard Bullington

1. Linage Followed by Richard Bullington: "The line I have followed from Nicholas through John Robert is derived from the "Clarke Document" at UVA. 
    Richard's lineage is confirmed by the Clarke Documents at the University of Virginia:
     The "Clarke Document" is a huge sheet of paper taped together which has a multi-column "wrap-around" Bullington family tree. 
     The boxes are all hand-drawn and lettered, and it uses that old format where each new generation gets multiple columns with all
     the children of the upper generation sharing the width of that previous generation. 


    Nicholas Bullington (?-1636/40) and married Cynthia Clarke (maybe),
        Nicholas Bullington Jr (about 1632-1692) married Margery Archer,
            John (sometimes with "Robert") Bullington (before 1680-1726) married Temperance LNU,
                John (sometimes with "Robert") Bullington (1705-after 1750) married 1st Letitia Adkins 2nd Sarah "Sally" Giles,
                    Robert Bullington (1642/46-1821) ("Robert of Pittsylvania") married Elizabeth Granger.
                         Robert Bullington b.abt 1766 Richmond Henrico Co VA, d. 1 Jun 1852 Sptg. Co SC. Married 1st Susannah Whitehead, 2nd Mary Williams
                              John Bullington b. abt 1794 Union Co SC, d. 8 Oct 1827, Lauderdale Co AL, Married Mildred "Milly" White 23 Aug 1815. 

2. Linage Proposed by: Lilla Bullington Brackeen,
a relative of David's and a well-respected family researcher says "Rubbish! 
    It was a straight line of Robert's as far as the eye can see!"  Her line is as follows:

    Nicholas Bullington (?-1636/40) & (supposedly but I'm very skeptical) married Cynthia Clarke,
        Robert Bullington (1632 Henrico-1688) married Elizabeth LNU,
            Robert Bullington (?-after 1728 Henrico) married Spouse Name Unknown,
                Robert Bullington (about 1725 Henrico-after 1810 Pittsylvania) married Spouse Name Unknown,
                    Robert Bullington (1750 Pittsylvania-1821 Pittsylvania) married Elizabeth Granger.  This is "Robert of Pittsylvania".

    distinguishing factor is, they were not Born in SC.
    The Census below clearly show BORN SC, many
    a family chart has made the mistake of claiming
    our Mildred White Bullington as wife of this Robert
    Bullington. Also note that none of the census below
    show a Robert Bullington, in the counties where our's
    lived. Documentation below clearly ties our Mildred
    to John Bullington (see Milly's application for War
    of 1812 Grant for land, she is ours... (Saline Co IL)

    Bulleton, John? - 477

    Newton, Robert - 468  (Robt served as witness on Mildred's 1857 War of 1812 bounty land application)
                                       (on the Application Robt said he knew both John & Milly in TN and Lauderdale AL
                                        thus, they lived a time in Lawrence Co TN and Lauderdale Co AL)

    **John & Milly sold there land in Spartanburg Co SC 29 Dec 1825, probably moved to
    Lawrence Co TN, by 1826, in time for to appear on there Tax List, then moved just south across the
    border into Lauderdale Co AL, sometime before Oct 1827, when John died. As stated on the application,
    Milly remained in Lauderdale into the 1830's before departing for Williamson Co IL.

    Notes:
    I believe now this 'Sarah A', is the younger daughter of Mildred, born in Ala.
    or maybe the Wife of William Bullington.

    We do not know the exact birth dates of any of Mildred's children
    only abt - Stephen abt 1816, Ben abt 1820, William abt 1826, Robert abt
    1818, I found a Robert in Woodford Co 1860 census, living in Eureka Town but
    will need to confirm this, I would expect him to be about 42 yrs old, in
    1850. Mary was born abt 1821, Newton abt 1823, Susannah abt 1827. The last
    three either died of didn't move to IL, can't find anything on them...

    Notice the 'B' = black above, obviously, these are Free Blacks, I cannot recall
    Blacks prior to 1870 being listed on the Census records. 

    Notes2:
    Could this be the Sarah A Bullington in the 1850 Census above????

    Sarah may have been the daughter of John's brother Robert Bullington Jr???

    First Notes the Sarah A Bullington in the 1850 Census above:
    the age is a perfect match, B S Bullington and a Wm and Melinda
    (who may be Mildred), are also in Saline county IL together in 1860.
    Sarah A Bullington they are showing Born in AL.  I believe that
    Robert Bullington and Mildred Whitehead as her parents needs reviewing.
    This all assumes that Ben and Wm Bullington are John Bullington's and
    Mildred White's children.  John Bullington husband of Milly White, had
    parents named Robert Bullington Jr and Susanna Whitehead both of Union
    County SC.  John Bullingon who died in Lauderdale AL, had a son Robert
    born 1818, I have no information on him after AL. I believe he died, and his
    daughter Sarah A Bullington moved and lived with Ben, Wm, Mildred from AL
    to Williamson Co IL, and possibly onto Saline Co in 1870.

    This information comes from a Clement Rose, descendant of a Stephen Bullington below is her response to my query at genforum.com, it has yet to be verified, hopefully, someday soon I will have time to investigate this lead:   It is the first contact I've had with anyone down Mildred's lineage, if it in-fact, it becomes true:


    From Clement Rose: (2,3,4 Nov 2000)

    Below is a Genforum response from Clement Rose:

    1st - Hi Mike.I found some of your Bullington family in Williamson County Ill. in the 1850 Census. My Gr.Grandaunt married Stephen Bullington in Johnson County Ill. Their daughter Beda married Thomas Wilburn 24 Nov. 1883. I have some other things if this is of interest. Clement Rose.
    cllyrose@aol.com


    2nd - Hi Mike. I found Stephen Bullington on Ancestry.com. This led me to Williamson County Ill., the county right next to Johnson County where my Rose family settled.
    1850 Williamson County Illinois.
    Stephen Bullington 29 farmer b. SC.
    Ben Bullington 36 farmer b. SC
    William Bullington 24 b. SC
    Sarah A. Bullington 18 b. Ala.


    3rd - Hi Mike again. I couldn't get it all on the first message. There was also. Mildred Bullington 50 b. SC. All the one mentioned were in Household 51-52. There were also a black family listed with them. Nancy Tabron 46 b.NC.,Berton Tabron 29 b.Ala., Hardin Tabron 18 b.Ala. There is also Johnson County Marriages. Vol.1 1834-1877. S.W. Bullington to E.J.Smith 4 Oct.1863. Wesley Bullington to E.V. Veal 4 Oct. 1863. There is a little more. Hope this helps. Clem Rose  -  END


    4th - Mike, the information I passed on to you was given to me by a Bill Todd of Williamson Co. ILL. The info. was indeed for the 1850 Census. Could Sarah A. have been the wife of William? My Ancestor and Stephen Bullington were living in Johnson County in 1870 and 1880. My Ancestor was in Union County Ill. in 1896, I don't know if Stephen was too. I did find a J. Bullington there in the 1900 Census. I think he may have been one of their sons. They had a James and I think one called Jack, a Robert and a Beda. Clement Rose


    5th - Hi again Mike. It looks like you got some real good records to work with. My Rose family was also in SC. My Gr.Grandfather Andrew Jackson Rose was born there in 1825. I don't know exactly where. The family moved to TN. shortly after his birth. He moved to Johnson County Ill.sometime in the early 1840s, was married three times, had children with all three wives, a total of 12 or more, and stayed around the county till his death in 1878. Yet, I can make no contact with any kinfolk in Illinois.  As for your Mildred (White) Bullington. You should know it is a female right to be able to shave a year or two off their ages every once in a while.  Also,Stephen Bullington was still in Johnson County Ill. in Nov. 1883. That's when his daughter Beda was married.  Clement Rose. 


    6th - Mike, for some reason I got cut off in the middle of my response. So I'll repeat what I was writing. I found Stephen Bullington on Ancestry.com. Two names came up. Stephen, and another with what looks like a nickname. I think it was Buff or something similar. Both were in Williamson County IL. I put in a query to that particular county through 'Genforum.com' and got an answer right away from Mr.Todd. I was trying to find when Stephen may have married my Gr.Grandaunt Elizabeth Jane Rose. She might have been married before she met Stephen, because of the names of S.W. Bullington to E.J. Smith. Not sure, only guessing. All for now. Clement Rose.

    Howard family that migrated from Union County SC to Lauderdale Co Alabama
    that may have preceded the arrival of John and Milly White Bullington
    Some Howard deaths occurred about the time as our John Bullington's death.

    Some of these Howards are buried at the same cemetery as John Bullington.

    You will have to look them up on FindAGrave.com

    Stephen Howard is the son of Joseph Howard of Union Co SC
    and the grandson of Rev Obediah Howard, a lineage related to
    the our White's of Union Co SC, several times over.

    Appears the Howard family arrived before John and Milly White Bullington,
    judging from the 1st born in AL. I wonder if they made their decision to migrate
    to Lauderdale based on information they had about the Howard's or other area families
    that heard of Lauderdale Co AL... I would guess this was the case...

  • The Information below is not mine, and I see errors,
        so this is just to show other families from Union & Spartanburg
        migrated to Lauderdale, must have been something attractive there...
        The Indians had been removed, and land must have been affordable.

    The Howard Family Tree Missouri lists a death date of "4 Nov 1844 in Lexington, Lauderdale, Alabama." However, this appears unlikely, as the Howard Family Tree Missouri also lists a second marriage date for Stephen Howard to Cynthia Porter on 11 Feb 1835 in Lexington, Lauderdale, Alabama. Spradlin lists a death date of "1834." A death date of 4 Nov 1834 has been used herein.

    his fellow unionites endured:

    War of 1812 Songs Played 
    by & BF's Quotes:
    (Mean's 1st Regiment South Carolina Militia)

    BF White            - Regimental Fifer
    Billy Gault          - Regimental Drummer 

    Song # 1 
    "Jefferson & Liberty"   
    (Click to listen - midi file)

    "Jefferson & Liberty"  (a fife & drum version)

    Played on the march to Charleston SC.

    "...the Regiment was in line as we walked up then
    back, we were ask to play a tune and played 'Jefferson
    & Liberty', the men let out a cannon shout, as we began
    our march to Charleston..."                                    BF White.

    Song # 2
    "Hail Columbia"       
    (Click to listen - midi file)

    Played at the Surrender of the British 
    Vessels at Fort Moultrie SC.  

    "A line of British vessels approached within 200 yds
    we fired our 84 Lb Cannon's, one ball in front of 
    the leading ship, the British vessels anchored and 
    a White flag was hoisted with PEACE written in 3 places..." 
                                                                                          BF White.

    Notes:  This writer doesn't have the John Bullington war of 1812
                 papers, perhaps with luck, someday, a descendant will...

                However, on BF White web page you can read the letters.
