CYPRIAN BULLOCH, JR

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, Georgia.

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.
