  Notes	Cutter's give date of death as 24 June 1639. E.J. Bullard "Other Bullards: A Genealogy; ... gives the date of death for Robert Bullard as 24 June, 1639. Robert Bullard, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England in 1599, died in Watertown a few years after he came over, 1639. His widow Anne married (second) Henry Thorpe. She had a grant of land in 1644 in Watertown, while widow of Robert Bullard. Henry Thorpe was a proprietor of Watertown. When he married Anne he gave a bond that he would not alienate any of the estate then in her possession and consented to a deed that she made to her son Benjamin and his sisters. The bond was made before John Simpson and witnessed by William Bullard. Before Thorpe died he and his wife Anne sold some of the Bullard land "for relief from necessity", 15 October 1660, three and a half acres of Fresh Pond, and Benjamin Bullard quit-claimed his rights in the property. (Abner) Morse says that the names Bullard and Bulwer are probably the same. The family is not very numerous and seems never to have been prominent, but few of the Puritans have had more numerous or distinguished posterity than this Robert Bullard who died almost unknown, a young man, soon after his new home was established in this country.
