BULLOCK OF LANIVET
Mary
Bullock married Charles Rundell at Lanivet in 1834.
Among the records which prove her parentage are a chancery bill of complaint from
1861 (amended in 1862) relating to property in Lanivet,
in which the daughters of Thomas Bullock who died in November 1849 are named
with their husbands.[1]
At
his death in 1849, Thomas Bullock’s age was given as eighty, fitting with the
baptism of Thomas Bullock, son of Thomas and Elizabeth, at Lanivet
in August 1769. Thomas Bullock and Elizabeth Grose had been married at Lanivet in 1764.
The
parentage of the older Thomas Bullock is less straightforward. Richard and
Frances (Stribley) Bullock had a son called Thomas, baptised in 1717 at Lanivet and named in his parents’ wills. This Thomas would
probably have been about forty-six at the time of the marriage of Thomas
Bullock in 1764, which would be considerably older than usual for a first known
marriage. However, they appear to be the same person.
There
is some onomastic support for the identification, in that the first child of
Thomas and Elizabeth (Grose) Bullock was called Frances. Also, whilst Thomas
and Elizabeth only had one known son, Thomas, the eldest son of the younger
Thomas was called Richard.
The
will of William Bullock of Lanivet, son of Richard
and Frances, was written in 1752. William left property called Trebell, Coombe and Tregullan in Lanivet to his brothers Richard and Thomas.[2]
Tregullan was where Thomas Bullock, son of Thomas and
Elizabeth (Grose) Bullock, later lived.
The
will of Richard Bullock of Lanivet, son of Richard
and Frances, was written in 1784. It mentions the properties called Trebell and Coombe and leaves them, after the death of
Richard’s wife, to his brother Thomas Bullock and his heirs.[3]
This indicates that Thomas, son of Richard and Frances (Stribley) Bullock, was
still living in 1784.
A
search of the burials in the Lanivet parish registers
from 1764 to 1850 showed only one Thomas Bullock who could be the son of
Richard and Frances or the husband of Elizabeth Grose, that is to say the
Thomas Bullock buried on 28 February 1800.
As
for Richard Bullock, husband of Frances Stribley, a Richard, son of John
Bullock and Elizabeth, was baptised at Lanivet in
1676, but died young. Another Richard, son of John and Elizabeth Bullock, was
baptised in 1678 but probably also died young as yet another Richard, son of
John and Elizabeth Bullock, was baptised at Lanivet
on 16 March 1685/86, and buried on 10 January 1686/87.[4]
This leaves the Richard Bullock baptised at Lanivet
in 1675, son of Richard and Florence, as the obvious candidate.
The
Richard Bullock who married Florence Menheire may
have been the one of that name who was left an estate of ninety-nine years in Tregullan in Lanivet in the will
of his brother Thomas Bullock of Bodmin in 1656.[5]
However, that Richard may have been the one who married Dorothy Marten at St
Mabyn in 1659.
