Biography

Sylvia Pratt and David Bullock are parents of record on death record of Lydia Bullock in clerk's office Montcalm County, Michigan. Death certificate for their daughter Lydia can be found indexed under the surname of "Pirr."^[1]

I suspect that there are other Bullock children that should also be included in this family group. The 1850 Federal Census record for Lydia's grandmother, Eunice Pratt has two other Bullock children, Susan b. 1832, and Eben b. 1838.^[2] One page over from Eunice Pratt is another Bullock, Eunice b1831 living in the household of David and Sylvia Bennett. I suspect that Sylvia b. 1825 is probably another child of David and Sylvia Pratt Bullock.^[3]

Finally, the census record for David Bullock and his second wife, Laura has two teenage boys, John b. 1834 and Sidney, born 1836 which I also suspect are children of Sylvia Pratt. The given name of Sidney is very common in this section of the Pratt family.^[4]

This would make Sylvia b. 1825, Lydia, b. 1828, Eunice b. 1831, Susan b. 1832, John b. 1834, Sidney b. 1836, and Eben b. 1838 the proposed children of David Bullock and Sylvia Pratt.
