I was under the impression that dr. Richard E. Bullington’s father was Edward Bullington (b. 1813 d. 1878) married to Caroline Tubblefield. Edward Bullington’s father was Josiah Bullington, Jr., (Son of Josiah & Darah Clarke) married to Maria J. Hobson. That conflicts with your info.
Hi Sara,
Thank you for your comment. This information is transcribed from a book published in 1911 so it could be that there is incorrect information. It would take independent verification of the details to know if it is correct or not. Thanks!
