The Bullock and Rector Families

The Bullock and Rector families intersected on September 6, 1911, when Homer Bullock and Mary Florence Rector were married in Milo, Yates County, NY at the home of the bride's parent's, Stephen Milton (S. M.) and Minnie Nichols Rector. Homer, the son of Herman and Drusilla Finton Bullock, was born in 1888 and Mary 1889. Homer and Mary lived in Yates County, NY; Seneca County, NY; Abra Grande, Isle of Pines, Cuba; and Ontario County, NY. They had six children: Herman Stephen, Philip Gerald, Ruth Hope, Robert Homer, Calvin Fenton, and Paul David Bullock. Homer died in 1957 and Mary in 1973 and both are buried in the East Bloomfield Cemetery, East Bloomfield, Ontario County, NY.

Bullock
Homer's ancestors came from England to Rehoboth, MA in 1643; to Dutchess County in 1750; to Columbia County in 1795; and to Yates County in 1845. Several Bullocks were in the NY State militia during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The Bullocks were mainly farmers until the late 1800s when Herman and Drusilla Finton Bullock owned and operated a grape basket factory in Barrington, Yates County in the late 1800s.

Rector
The Richter's came to England from the Rhineland Palatinate in 1708; to New York, NY in 1710; to the "West Camp," Becksmanland, NY; to Livingston Manor, Columbia County, NY. Andreas Richter, born in 1762, became Andrew Rector and migrated to Benton, Yates County, NY in 1817. The Rector's farmed their own land and, in the late 1800s, Mary's father, S. M. Rector, was a farmer and a carpenter.

The detailed genealogical information available here is for Bullock's and Rector's born before 1900 only. General information is also presented; click on the item of interest in the right hand column. These items are pretty much in chronological order and cover the years from the mid 1800's through the mid 1900's.

If you are a Bullock/Rector cousin and are interested in providing or acquiring more information, please contact me at the e-mail address shown. If you have a particular interest in information on individuals born after 1900, I have prepared a Bullock/Rector CD which I will make available to persons who have a verifiable genealogical link with my families.
