BULLIS FAMILY MEMBERS?
As recorded in THE BULLIS FAMILY OF MACEDON, NEW YORK, by Elizabeth Ferrari, April, 1984:
"In the mid-1600s, when political and religious turmoil were driving many
Englishmen from their homeland, Phillip Bullis left England to settle
in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1663 Phillip married Judith Hart, thus
beginning the many generations of Bullises to become part of America.
The Bullis families settled throughout New England and New York. In
1837, the Charles H. Bullis family came to Macedon, Wayne County, New
York to settle.
"Charles H. Bullis was born in Manchester, Vermont on January 23, 1786. On January 1. 1812, Charles married Eleanor Carbone of Greenwich, New York. He had relatives living in Greenwich and it is likely that he met Eleanor while he was visiting there. He and his wife took up residence in Manchester, Vermont until 1837.
"They left Vermont on November 13, 1837. Charles Bullis, great-grandson of Charles H. Bullis, said that his great-grandfather may have received a land grant in Ohio which prompted him to make this move. It is said that when they got to New York, they took a canal boat from the town of Troy, New York. During their trip they stopped in Macedon to visit some friends. Macedon was and still is a beautiful town with a rolling landscape of drumlins and acres and acres of productible land. This land would be encouraging to any man. After visiting for some time in Macedon, Charles decided to remain there."
