I did not receive it until sometime in September and regret that I had not the pleasure of seeing either Col. Nisbet or Mr. Singleton. It came to me through young Mr. Giles. I should have answered it earlier, but by my waiting to send my answer by them supposing they would call to see me before they returned home. In the meantime I have seen your nephew, Mr. Dawson and his wife, and am greatly pleased with them and hope to know them more intimately. In fact, I should before this have invited them to partake of the hospitalities of my house but for the extreme illness of Mrs. Bullock, who has been at the point of death for months from that terrible disease, pulmonary consumption. She cannot possibly last much longer, and I rejoice and thank God that she is perfectly resigned to His will and that she is ready through divine grace to whatever may be before her. She will doubtless soon pass away to a better world, and her death will leave a great void in my heart and in my family. I may say to you with propriety that she is, (and is universally thought to be by those who know her) a woman of the brightest order of mind, and of the greatest moral excellence. Her whole heart and mind and soul was exhibited in the behalf of the poor suffering prisoners from the South and by her pen and her personal influence she secured between $20,000 and $30,000 for their benefit, which she distributed mainly through others, as her own health was too feeble to give her personal attention. She obtained large sums from New York, California and England. I regret that you will never see her in this world. But I must turn to other topics. My Grandfather James Bullock married as his first wife, a Wingfield, and had by her two sons and two daughters - the sons were named Thomas and Wingfield - the daughters were named Barbara and Milly. Thomas has twice married, his first wife was a Miss Redd, and by her he had 7 children, 4 sons and 3 daughters. His sons were named James, Thomas, Mordecai and Wingfield - and his daughters Malissa, and Lucy, who married the celebrated Baptist preacher, Jeremiah Vardeman, and also Ann. His second wife was a Miss Dale, and by her he had two children, William and Waller. My uncle Thomas was a large fine looking man of great physical strength, of strong mind and noted for his integrity and firmness of character - he was for many years the leading layman in the Baptist Church in central Kentucky, was the standing Moderator of the Elkhorn Association, and was repeatedly elected to the Legislature from Woodford County. When Alexander Campbell was about to enter upon his Reformation movement, he went to Kentucky and spent several weeks with him and secured his adhesion which contributed largely to his success. He was a man of independent fortune and at his death liberated his slaves. His sons by the first marriage, at least three of them, Thomas, Mordecai and Wingfield were splendid looking men. My uncle Wingfield, brother of Thomas, married a distant relation of the same name, and had 4 children, 2 sons and 2 daughters, James, William, Mary Ann and Eliza. He was a man of fine appearance, courtly manners, and universally esteemed. Just before his death he was elected to the Congress from the Louisville district over Judge Logan one of the ablest and most popular men in Kentucky. His sons, James and William, are both living in Shelbyville, Kentucky, and are lawyers of high standing. William is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church and has great influence in that part of the state. Both of them have been repeatedly in both branches of the Legislature, and James was Secretary of State under Gov. Clarke. My Aunt Milly married Mr. George Winn and Aunt Barbara married Mr. Ben Wilson, both men of high character and of independent fortunes and have left large and highly respected families. My grandfather's second wife was a Miss Waller. My father, Waller Bullock was the only son of that marriage - there were five daughters, and all of them were well married and have left large families. Only one of my aunts survives, Agnes, who is now near 90 years old. She married her cousin Robert Bullock, a brother of David Bullock, a very wealthy gentleman who died in Richmond some 25 years ago. My father married Miss Maria Burch, an aunt of Gen. John C. Breckenridge's wife, and they had ten children, eight of them lived to be grown - 5 sons and 3 daughters. The daughters were Mary Anne, Martha Pomphret and Sarah Jane. The sons were Joseph James (myself), Samuel Redd, Thomas Wingfield, Waller, and Robert Stapleton. Mary Ann married Mr. Peter Gordon Hunt, an educated farmer and a most highly esteemed member of the Baptist Church. Both of them are dead. They left four children, 3 sons and a daughter - named George, Waller, Joseph, and Maria. George is a prominent preacher of the Baptist Church in Kentucky, and was for a time a professor in the Georgetown Baptist College, and there he was appointed president of their college, in Russelville, - he is now the pastor of the church in -------------, Waller is living in Wisconsin. Joseph is a promising young lawyer in Lexington, Kentucky, and Maria is living with us as one of our children. Joseph was in the Southern Army and acquitted himself well. My sister Martha died single. Sarah married the Rev. John G. Simrall, a Presbyterian minister, who resides near Lexington, Kentucky, and is a man of means. They have 6 living children, 4 boys and 2 girls, and they have lost 4. Their eldest son, John, is a lawyer in Louisville, Kentucky, and is doing well in his profession. William and Joseph are young men, unmarried, and were good soldiers in the Southern Army, both of them are druggists - and Samuel is at college. Martha and Sarah are school girls. I am the oldest son, and married Caroline Laurens Breckinridge, the 2nd daughter of Joseph Cabell Breckinridge and Mary Stanhope Smith, a sister of Gen. John C. Breckinridge. We have had 8 children. 5 of whom are living - we lost 2 little girls, Frances and Sarah, while they were babes. Joseph James died about 18 months ago in his 22nd year - he had always been delicate, and was one of the purest beings I ever saw, he was, I believe, sanctified from the womb. Our living children are Waller, Cabell, and John, sons, and Mary Stanhope and Letitia Preston - girls - none of them married. Waller and Cabell were both in the Confederate service from the beginning to the end of the war. Waller is practicing law in Baltimore. Cabell graduated at the law school in Lexington, Kentucky, just before the war commenced, but he is now teaching a classical school here in partnership with Dr. Atkinson, a son of Bishop Atkinson of North Carolina. John was a student in Washington College at Lexington, Va., but came home on account of his mother's condition and is now with us. I am profoundly thankful to God for my children. We have greatest comfort in them all. My brother, Samuel, who died of Cholera in 1849, was a lawyer of the highest standing and was one of the first young men in the country. He commenced the practice of the law in Lexington, Kentucky, and was successful from the start. He and Gen. Breckenridge were classmates in College and were partners in the practice of law at the time of his death. He married Miss Eliza Overton Whitney and left three children - Waller, Dabney and Samuel. His wife is now dead and also his son, Dabney. Waller was in the Southern Army and was a fine soldier. He is a young man of fortune and is on his farm near Lexington. Samuel is at College in Kentucky. My brother, Thomas Wingfield, married Miss Bettie Viley, daughter of Capt. Willa Viley of Kentucky. George W. Johnson, who fell at Shiloh and who was at the time of his death Provincial Governor of Kentucky and one of her noblest citizens, married another daughter. Mrs. Viley, the mother, is the sister of the father of Gen. Gustavus W. Smith from your state. Thomas is a lawyer, and he and Gen. Breckinridge went out to Iowa as young men and were partners in the Law. They returned to Kentucky and married cousins. Thomas then gave up the law and went to farming - he afterwards resumed the practice of the law and continued it until the breaking out of the war when he went south. Since his return, he has lost his wife and 3 children. He was a man of wealth, and lived in elegance and at ease, but misfortune after misfortune has overtaken him, and all is gone. He is a man of fine sense and sterling integrity, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and much beloved by his friends, but lacks energy to retrieve his losses. He has three living children, all young, named Waller,-----, and Bettie. My brother Waller died while at college, in his 18th year. Robert, my youngest brother, was a Major in the Confederate army and remained faithful to the end. He married a Miss Franklin, and has three children. He is a man of sterling worth, and is universally esteemed, and is a member of the Presbyterian Church. He, too, lost largely by the war and in other ways. But he has energy and has many friends, and if his life is spared, will do well. His children are named Thomas, Frank and Sarah. My father, Waller Bullock, lived to be 80 years old and was remarkable for his strength of mind, force of will, and integrity of character. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and I think he was the best informed man on political interests I ever saw, certainly outside of the educated politicians. He was a life-long Democrat, and by his conversations converted to that faith, Gen. Breckinridge and other promising young men belonging to Whig families. Mr. Clay once said to me that my father covered more in political discussions, (conversational), than any man he had ever met, and that he seemed to be better acquainted with his political history than he was himself. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you in Baltimore, now that your nephew, Mr. Dawson is here. It would afford me great pleasure to introduce to you my family, and to extend to you the hospitality of my house. I cannot tell the relationship, but I learned from my father in his lifetime, that his family were related to the ---- and the Garlands. He had a cousin, Garland Bullock, who lived at the mouth of the Kentucky river, and left a large and highly influential family. Should my life be spared to visit again my native state, Kentucky, I will take great pleasure in getting more complete and accurate information concerning our family relations. May God help you and yours with all needed temporal blessings, and especially with the spiritual blessings of His Holy Spirit. Your fraternally, J. J.

He is reported to have built a stockade in the Clintonville District in 1787 then a stone house the following year (Grimes 1935). No primary sources were located for this information. His land entries include a 400-acre and a 1000-acre preemption on the Stoner Fork of Licking River (BrookesSmith 1976:37, Virginia Survey Book 1, p. 373). This tract is located, according to entry, 200 yards northwest of McMullen's Spring and includes a portion of the main Stoner channel. Henry Clay assigned this tract to Samuel Clay in 1783 and the patent was issued in 1784. McMullen's Spring is near where the Harrod's Creek Road crosses Stoner Creek. Henry Clay's reported stockade or station would not have been located on this tract since he transferred it to Samuel Clay three years before he permanently settled in Kentucky. The stone house he built in 1788 (designated 15Bb77) is, still standing. It is located along a farm road which runs southwest from Winchester Road opposite the juncture of Winchester and Spears Mill roads (Figure IV-7 and IV-8). The L & N railroad track runs immediately southwest of the site. The Clay cemetery is north of the house. Henry and his wife, Rachel, are buried there along with other family members. Henry died in 1824, at the age of 84; Rachel was 81 when she died in 1820. Henry Clay Jr. inherited the house. An H. Clay is listed in the approximate location on the 1877 Beers and Lanagan map. Grimes (1935) did not indicate if the station was built on the same location as the stone house. No trace of a log structure or foundations were found around the stone house although pasture coverage made surface survey difficult. The house, known locally as "the Fort", is a small structure of one-and-one-half stories with interior end chimneys. The lower floor has two rooms and stairs in the northeast corner lead up to a second floor. A frame shed with a brick chimney is a recent addition on the east side of the house. The front of the house faces west. Two windows pierce the west wall on the first floor. An irregular depression on the south end of the house is suggestive of another possible addition but no door is present to connect it to the stone house without having to come outside. Very little modification has been done to the stone section. The structure was being used to store hay at the time of survey. Since Dr. Clay's stone house was not located on his land grant, he must have acquired his tract by purchase. In checking early deeds, a land transfer for 200 acres between Henry Clay, Sr. and Benjamin Bedford was found which coincides with the stone house location. Dated February 20, 1793, the deed was for 200 acres on which Henry Clay was then living, on the waters of Green Creek. The land was adjacent to James Parberry, a Bruce, and another Clay (Bourbon County Deed Book B, p. 333). Time constraints, very dense grass cover and extremely hard, dried out soil rendered shovel probing impractical. The ground around the structure appears little disturbed and archaeological remains are probable although their density and character are unverified. However, the site is deemed worthy of further consideration. HENRY CLAY, SR.-Will Book F, page 331-"Aged and infirm."
