Book Article:
Jacob Bull The short sketch which here appears is that of a prominent farmer of Dallas Township. He owes his nativity to Virginia, born in 1810, the third in a family of eleven children born to the union of William Bull and Ann Turner, the former a native of North Carolina and the latter of Virginia. His grandfather, on both sides, Martin Turner and Jacob Bull, were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. In 1818, when our subject was eight years of age, his parents moved to Caswell County, North Carolina, and in 1834 came to Alabama. Here, in 1835, the father died, and four years after he was followed by his wife. Our subject was reared and schooled in Caswell County, North Carolina, attending the common schools of that State. In 1831 he went to Alabama and remained there until 1850, when he came to Arkansas and settled in what is now Calhoun County, on the place where he now resides. He purchased 320 acres, slightly improved, and to this he has added until he now owns 405 acres, 300 acres of which he has cleared. In 1851 he erected the first store-house in Hampton for O.H.P.Black and in 1858 he was appointed as one of the commissioners to build the courthouse. January 9, 1840, he was married to Miss Eliza H. Means, a native of Tennessee. She died July 4, 1852, leaving five children: Rufus H. (died in 1862), William (died in 1881), Edward (married and resided in Texarkana), Isabella (married and living in Texas), and two died in infancy. In 1852 Mr. Bull was again united in marriage, this time to Miss Masaniah Wood of Bradley County. She died in 1862 and left three children: Evanna E., Carter and Jacob A.. Mr. Bull remained single until 1867, when he was married to Miss Fannie Barfield, by whom he has four children, viz: Sallie (died in 1873, at the age of five years), Harriet, Jennie and Mary. Mr. and Mrs. Bull are worthy members of the Presbyterian Church, while most of the children belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mr. Bull is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
