Husband of Mary Margaret Scotlay Bullock
(daughter of
Stephen Bullock and Patience Paynter/Painter)
"Rene is said to have been a giant in stature with red hair, a quick temper, and an indomitable will, a Presbyterian of the strictest form who particularly disliked the Quaker Testimony against war and slavery. Rene Julien was born in France in 1669, was a Huguenot who fought at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in 1690 and came to America about 1700. Family tradition has him stopping at the island of Bermuda where he married Mary Bullock. He was a soldier in his youth and was in the army of James II in the English Revolution of 1688. For reasons of preference, he is said to have deserted to the standard of King William along with many others. For his services to King William, he was given a grant of land on the Mississippi River (another source says it was the James River District in what is now Maryland). His grown children were not inclined to go to what was then a savage region and they persuaded him to buy land. He went first to the shores of the Carolina, and loosing two sons there, he moved to the more healthy region on the Eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay. (There was a colony of French families on the Santee River in South Carolina who began to migrate about 1712, due to the unhealthy climate. Rene's family may well have been among them.)

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Directions: Take Interstate 81 to Exit 310. Turn North on to Rt 37 and take first exit on to Rt 11 South. Continue South for about two miles, passing through two stoplights. Right before you get to the third stoplight, there is a 7-Eleven on the left. Turn left, just before the store, on to Opequon Church Road. Follow the road all the way back to Opequon Church and turn into the church parking lot. The cemetery is to the left.
In the early 1730s William Hoge donated two acres of land for a meeting house and an additional two acres for a cemetery. By 1736, the place of worship was in full use. Since that time, there have been two log and two stone churches built upon the site. The church, and cemetery, served the War of Independence with General George Washington worshipping there on occasion. In addition, there are no less than seven veterans of the revolution buried in the cemetery. During the Civil War, the church was reduced to ruins and the cemetery badly damaged during the two battles of Kernstown. In 1863 services were no longer being held and the church ruins became a stable for horses. In 1889 the Scotish-Irish decendants of the original church got together and planned a reconstruction. The present day church was completed in 1897, being built upon the original 1790 stone foundation. The Opequon Presbyterian Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and as a Virginia Historic Landmark.
There are five burying grounds at Opequon Presbyterian Church. Burying Ground #1 had burials from 1736 through 1799 and is adjacent to the north wall of the church. Burying Ground #2 was active from about 1745 through 1904 and is the largest of the five. It is to the left as you enter the church property, surrounded by a black iron fence. Burying Ground #3 started interments in 1790, with the last taking place in 1860 and is located slightly south-southwest of the church.
A grand daughter, Nancy Ann Julian (1754-1844), #45350285, is buried in Indiana.
