Surname: BULLARD
Source:  A List of The Revolutionary Soldiers of Dublin, N.H. by Samuel Carroll Derby, 
          Columbus, Ohio, 1901, pages 9-10

ASA BULLARD was in Capt. Othniel Thomas's company, Lieut. Col. Daniel Reynolds's regiment. May 5,
1786, he gave receipt to Dublin authorities for rations and traveling money to Springfield, 
Mass., in 1781.  Probably he was an older (b. 1743) brother of Simeon Bullard. He became a 
physician and settled at Mt. Vernon, N. H., where he died about 1826. 

SIMEON BULLARD, a native of New Ipswich, b. 1745, who came to Dublin about 1770, was a sergeant 
in Capt. Joseph Parker's company, raised in the 14th military district and a part of Col. Isaac 
Wyman's regiment, which went in the summer of 1776 to reinforce the northern army at Ticonderoga;
rendezvous at Haverhill, N. H. He died in Dublin Jan. 28, 1828, æt. 82 years. Bullard (Thorndike)
pond, on whose shore he resided, the spot still marked by a magnificent elm of more than local 
fame, was named for him. 

Page 25, Listed under Captains:

BENJAMIN BULLARD of Sherborn, Mass., appears to have been one of the "Alarm List " of Holliston
foot company in 1757, and a private in Capt. Jones's company at Crown Point, 1759. He was 
captain of a company of "minute men " who marched upon the alarm of April 19, 1775, and served
for 5 days. Later he was a captain in Col. Laommi Baldwin's regiment stationed at Prospect Hill.
In October of the same year, he was a captain in Col. Jona. Brewer's regiment, was transferred 
to Col. Jos. Henshaw's regiment, and then to the 7th company of the 6th regiment, Col. Asa 
Whitcomb's, with which he was connected while at Ft. Ticonderoga, Nov. 27, 1776. In the 
following year he appears to have commanded a company (the 9th) in Col. Samuel Bullard's
regiment (5th Middlesex) which took part in the capture of Burgoyne, 1777. His family is 
probably connected with that of the Bullards who settled in Dublin. Capt. Bullard is believed to
have been present at the battle of Bunker Hill.
