I can remember being told by my father and aunts, who lived in Illinois and Iowa and were personally acquainted with their grandmother Nancy Ann Bullard. They told me my Bullard ancestor was an English Merchant on one of the Easten seaboard town, sailing the ocean to bring goods back to the colonies. When he first met the Spanish lady. He had sailed to the Island of Manorca, Spain, where he saw this beautiful Spanish girl with long golden hair. She was Castilian Spanish. They were married and sailed back to the Carolinas.

John Bullard's first wife, Maria Isabella, died prior to 1790 as by that time John Bullard was married to Mary Hedgepeth and had their first child, James Bullard.
John Bullard Jr. was born ca 1762 in North Carolina. After the death of his father, he was living on a small farm with his mother, when some Tories scouring the countryside captured him and took him away. One of his captors, feeling sorry for him due to his age, allowed him to escape. He hid in some woods near his home and his mother supplied him with food. As soon as he was able, he joined General Marion's forces, and was later at Sullivan's Island. He participated in the defense of Fort Moultrie against the British fleet. he witnessed the gallant and historical act of Sergeant jasper, who, when the flag was away by the British, sprang over the parapet and seizing the colors, restored them to their place on the fort. he was but fourteen years old when these events occurred. After the war, John settled down in his native state and raised a family. In 1812, he emigrated to the Territory of Indiana. The following year he and two of his sons died of fever. Five sons and three daughters survived.

About 1813 or 1814 there was some kind of a pestilence called then and known now as the "black plague," which swept the people before it with a fatality equal to the cholera or yellow fever, and greatly depleted the population of Columbia (now Patoka), and it is thought by some contributed largely to its defeat for the county seat of Gibson County. - History of Gibson County, Indiana, Page 183
