Bullock, Richard, farmer, purchased one hundred acres of land in Zumbro 
township, section 13, in 1862, and shortly after took up his home thereon. 
He is a native of England, having been born in Oxfordshire, July 18, 1820. 
His parents were William and Sarah Bullock, who settled in Erie county, 
New York when our subject was sixteen years old. All his schooling had 
been received previous to this time, in the old country. He was reared on 
a farm, and after reaching his majority owned a farm in New York. He 
subsequently removed to Pennsylvania, and came from there here. Besides 
the home farm, he now has a quarter-section in Bigstone county, this 
state. His capital was small on arrival here, and his own industry and 
enterprise have made him independent. He has always been a republican, but 
now holds aloof from politics. Although not a member of any church, he is 
a believer in the Christian religion and an active supporter of the 
Wesleyan Methodist church here. He was married June 4, 1848, to Ruth 
Amelia Stocking, who was born in Erie county, New York, September 17, 
1830. Their eldest child, Martha Cordelia, was born January 10, 1851 (now 
Mrs. Dwight Lyman), and resides in Redwood county; Sophia Jane, June 21, 
1853, married Adelbert E. Randall, now sheriff of Bigstone county.
