George Harrison Bullard 1785-1827
George H. Bullard was born in Novenber of 1785, the child of Reuben and Fannie Davis Bullard. His mother is presumed to have died by the time of his father's death, in 1797 and he and his siblings lived with his maternal grandfather, James Davis, until his death in 1808.

George and Judith's children were;
