    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Barnham par regs for this period are lost, and only scattered BTs have survived. William is identified in the will of his father, William Bullard of Barnham, 16 May 1610, proved 18 Jun 1610, Archdeaconry Court of Sudbury, reg wills, 43:224 (FHL #097077). Date of birth is calculated from age "about 85" given in his own will, dated 5 Jul 1679, below. He was very likely born at Barnham where his parents lived and had children baptized.
      MAR #1: No mar rec found, and no rec found which gives us her name. But four children of William Bullard by this unknown wife were born, 1629/1630-ca 1636.
      MAR #2: A partial mar entry is found in Thomas W. Baldwin, comp, VITAL RECORDS OF CAMBRIDGE, 2 vols. (Boston, 1914-15), 2:58 (FHL #974.44/C1 V2b). The record calls her Mary and gives no mar date except "16__." A wife Mary is identified in William's will, below. She was apparently the widow of Francis Grissell of Cambridge as shown by a deed from Jonas Palmer and Elizabeth Palmer, both of Rehoboth, to William Bullard of Charlestown, 9 Nov 1655 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, 1:152 [FHL #554000]). Francis Grissell died in Charlestown, 2 Oct 1652. Therefore, the marriage must have occurred between 1652 and 1655.
      DEATH: Robert Brand Hanson, ed, VITAL RECORDS OF DEDHAM, 3 vols. (Bowie, MD, 1989), 2:25 (FHL #974.47/D2 V2hr). Also see the will of William Bullard of Charlestown (removed to Dedham before death), 5 Jul 1679, proved 17 Mar 1686/7, codicil 22 May 1684, Suffolk Co. Probate, #1527, (o.s.) 11:58-59 (FHL #584130), inv 26 Feb 1686/7 (Ibid, 9:336 [FHL #584129]). The inv includes death date of "24" Dec 1686, rather than 23 Dec, as found in vital recs.
