page 502

Cyprian Bulloch, Jr., a wealthy farmer and active man
of business of Meriwether county, in which he was born
in 1848, is the son of Cyprian and Lucinda (Grey)
Bulloch, North Carolinians, who were among the first
settlers of Burke county, Ga. Mr. Bulloch was born in
1802 and died in 1892; his parents were Stephen and
Mary (Bussey) Bulloch, of North Carolina, the father a
soldier in the war of the revolution. The mother of
Cyprian Bulloch, Jr., was a daughter of Samuel Grey, a
South Carolinian who served in the war of 1812, and
having drawn some land in Georgia, came and settled
upon it, at a time when the country was very sparsely
settled. The young Cyprian passed his early years on
the farm with but a limited education. He developed a
talent for agriculture, and in 1876 made his first
investment in land, to which he had added at intervals
since until he now has an immense plantation of some
1,200 acres of fine land. Besides his farming interests
Mr. Bulloch is engaged in various mercantile
enterprises in connection with the firm known as
Bulloch, Bussey & Co. In 1872 Mr. Bulloch married Miss
Julia Parkman, who was born in this county in 1853, and
is a daughter of Henry and Mary (Glanten) Parkman,
South Carolinians, who moved to Georgia in 1846; Mr.
Parkman served in the late war. Mr. and Mrs. Bulloch
have been blessed with seven children: Henry, Mattie,
Julia, Minnie, Andrew, Ira G. and Samuel T. The parents
are both members of the Baptist church; Mr. Bulloch is
also a member of the masonic fraternity.
