Who Is Benjamin Bullock?
Where did Benjamin and his family come from prior to settling in Clarenceville? We have a document showing that Benjamin purchased a piece of land from Napier Christie Burton in 1819. The baptism records from St. George Anglican Church in Clarenceville show that his wife's name was Hannah Danford and that some of their children were born in the first decade of the 1800s prior to coming to Clarenceville. They don't tell us where these births took place. So far, there is nothing to tell us where the family came from before arriving in Clarenceville nor when they actually came. The earliest church records in Clarenceville for the family begin in 1826
Benjamin was married twice, first to Hannah Danford and, after her death, to Phebe Lewis. He was already married to Hannah when he arrived in Clarenceville with at least three children by her. There is no record of where Benjamin and Hannah were married. He had seven children with Hannah. She died September 17, 1826. On December 26, 1827, he married Phebe Lewis and had eight children with her.
You will note the unusual spelling of the name Phebe. This spelling was used in many of the early documents. (See Document #2) Inasmuch as Phebe couldn't write, someone else wrote her name and she made her mark, an X, beside it. Later on, her name appears in records spelled in the more traditional manner, Phoebe.
Benjamin lived until January 30, 1846 when he passed away in Clarenceville. The church record for his death indicates that he was aged 58 years, 6 months when he died. This means that he was born in mid-1787, possibly in July. Phebe passed away on December 16, 1849 also in Clarenceville.(You can read about the Magog Church here.)
