Major James Stephens Bulloch was a friend of Roswell King’s,
and he built Bulloch Hall in 1839.

Together with his second wife Martha, Major
Bulloch packed up his children and moved from Savannah to the Georgia Frontier.

Mrs. Bulloch when she was a grandmother.
Major Bulloch was an investor in the Roswell Manufacturing
Company, and served on the board. The Bullochs were founding members of the
Roswell Presbyterian Church.
Major and Mrs. Bulloch had four children together: Anna,
Mittie, Charles, and Irvine. Charles passed away when he was 2 ½, and was one
of the first people buried in Roswell.
This is their younger daughter, Mittie.
She got married in Bulloch Hall on December 22, 1853, to
Theodore Roosevelt (the elder).
Mittie & Thee (as he was known) had four children, one
of whom grew up to be our 26th President. President Roosevelt
visited Roswell in 1905.
Major & Mrs. Bulloch’s youngest child, Irvine, would
eventually fight in the Confederate Navy, but as a child in Roswell, he loved
to play with the family dogs! Unfortunately we don’t have any pictures of them,
but I’m sure they were good-looking, for city dogs.
Until Next Time!
