History of Bullochville by Julia Harry Bennett
, Bullochville/ Warm Springs, Georgia

Responce to incorrect information appearing in Manchester Newspaper:

Dear Mr Grimes,

My brother, Henry G Harry, has sent me your nice article about Bullochville. We hope you will rectify the fact that Bullochville was not named for Theodore Roosevelt's mother, Martha.

Please read Regina Pinkston's "The Historicle Account of Meriwether County". On page 349 she tells that Bullochville was named for Benjamin F Bulloch and my Grandfather Cyprian Bulloch, Jr. They, with their brother-in-law, W.T. Bussey, formed Bulloch, Bussey and Coimpany. I am enclosing a 1911 article which tells thaey owned some 2,000 acres of land, most of Warm Springs from the top of the Warm Springs Mountain to the top of the mountain above Manchester.

These 3 men owned 3 of the store buildings still in use on Main Street, a coffin factory, cotton gin, bank, gristmill, 2 Bulloch homes, one or both on the National Register of Colonial Homes.

The gave the land for the Baptist church, the cemetary, the school, the US Fishery plus 2/3 of the water from Cold Springs.

Our Bullochs came from Edgecombe County, NC. In 1800 Stephen Bulloch married Winnie Robinson. Their home was between Rocky Mount, NC and Wilson, NC. Winnie died in 1806. Stephen Bulloch brought his two young sons to Greenville, GA to live with their Grandmother Robinson.

Cyprian Bulloch Sr. settled between Bussey's Cross Road and the Raleigh Rd. His brother, Henry moved to Arkansas. These boys were not related to Martha Bulloch who lived in Roswell, GA. Her ancestors are buried in Savanah, GA.

Elliott Roosevelt, in his book about Warm Springs called my Aunt Minnie who ran the store in Warm Spings forever, "Cousin Minnie", but they were not related.

Sincerely, Julia H(arry) Bennett

PS. My brother, Henry, is on the Board of Directors of the new museum. My father, Rev W. G. Harry, was Mayor of Warm Springs all the years FDR was President but the last one.

Probably the most extensive subdivision of land in western Georgia is now going on in Bullochville, where a committee of division of the Bulloch, Bussey and Estate is now located.

The property consists of approximatedly 2,000 acres and is considered one of the most valuable estates in Meriwether County comprising town lots in the corporation of various _________, Bullochville, Cold Springs and South Springs. It entirely surrounds the property of the U. S. Fish Hatchery at Cold Springs, and extends from Bullochville to nearly the prosperous town of Manchester

At the request of different interests the court appointed a committee of division to make an equitable allotment so that all hiers, including minors numbering 12, would be fully protected. The commission which has been in closed continurous session about a week, consists for seven men.
