I learned today of the passing of Jan Bullock. It's likely many of you were unfamiliar with him.
While I never met him in person, he and I shared a great deal of our research over the years, most particularly on the Ping and Bullock families of
southeastern Kentucky. Jan was a descendant of Jesse Bowling Bullock (1788-1861) and Elizabeth (Ping) Bullock (1790-1861) and had done a considerable amount of research on the origins of both families, much of which has been incorporated into the material on this site. In that sense, he has contributed a great deal to this site, although sadly he passed before we got it off the ground.
It is my hope to honor his memory as I would wish, as a genealogist, that one day my own would be: To freely share the results of a lifetime's work with the next generation of researchers, in the hope that they would build upon this foundation and create something even better.
