  Notes	JOSEPH BULLARD, son of John and Magdalene Bullard, was born in Dedham, Massachusetts, according to the old style calendar, on the 26th day of the 2nd month, 1643, and was baptized the 30th day of the same month and year. (Records of the First Church of Dedham.) He married about 1664, Sarah, whose surname is not recorded, but who survived her husband and died a widow in 1722. Joseph Bullard owned a home in Medfield, Massachusetts, which was among those burned by the Indians during King Philip's war, and he never rebuilt, but lived on the homestead with his father until 1695. At that time he purchased a tract of land at a point where the towns of Medfield, Dover, and Walpole meet, and settled there. This farm, which is believed to have been the original settlement of the Bullard's in Dover, became the property of Nathaniel, son of Joseph and Sarah, who succeeded to the homestead, and whose widow, soon after his death in 1753, sold the farm. (Records of the First Parish of Dover, Massachusetts.) In 1696 Joseph Bullard sold the old homestead in Medfield, which had come to him by the terms of his father's will. His name appears on the list of contributors to Harvard, who had been burned out by the Indians since their subscription, but who had "paid in Indian corn" on February 15, 1678.
