Notes for ROBERT BULLINGTON:


This is contributed by David Nance:

The records of Pittsylvania County contain this entry, in Pittsylvania County Order Book 4, p.285:

"At a Court held at the courthouse of Pittsylvania on the 22d day of January Anno Dom. 1780 for the examination of ROBERT BULLINGTON on Suspicion of his having feloniously Stabed & Killed one DAVID NANCE of the County aforesaid ~

"Present: Abraham Shelton, Reubin Payne, William Short & Joseph Morton, Gent. Justices.

"The said ROBERT BULLINGTON was led to the Barr in Custody of Peter Perkins Gentleman Sheriff of this County to Whose Custody for the Cause Aforesaid he was Committed and it Being demanded of him Whether he is Guilty or not Guilty of the [fact?] wherewith he Stands Charged, Answered that he is in no Wise Guilty, Whereupon the Court Proceeding to Examine divers Witnesses as well on behalf of the Commonwealth as the Prisoner at the Barr who was fully heard in his own defence, On Consideration it is the opinion of the Court that the Said ROBERT BULLINGTON is Guilty, and that he Ought to receive a further Tryal in the Honourable the General Court on the first day thereof, wherefore he is remanded to Prison again."

[It is important to note that this was NOT a murder trial, but what would now be called the arraignment (charging and entry of plea) and preliminary hearing (a hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence -- "probable cause" -- to require the defendant to stand trial). What this record reflects, is that the judges found probable cause to believe that Robert Bullington had committed the murder, and the court therefore ordered that he be held for trial].

This record indicates that there must have been a full trial on the murder charges at the next General Court. I am trying to find out what happened.

It is known that there was a Robert Bullington (abt. 1750-1821), who m. Elizabeth Crenshaw, who lived in Pittsylvania County at and after this time. If the man referred to in this court record was the same Robert Bullington, he must have been acquitted, because it is known that this Robert Bullington lived and prospered in Pittsylvania County for many years after this. However, there is some evidence, or at least some belief on the part of some Bullington researchers, that this Robert Bullington's father was also named Robert. If the man referred to in the court record was this older Robert Bullington, then it is more difficult to say what happened. There was a ROBERT Bullington listed as the head of a household in Pittsylvania Co. VA in the 1782 colonial census -- but there was only ONE Bullington household at this time.

Marriage Notes for ROBERT BULLINGTON and ELIZABETH CRENSHAW:
Robert and Elizabeth went to Pittsylvania County between May 1778 and Aug 1779 with 5 children. All children eventually left . He purchased his wife at the price of the passage. Estate record book 7 p 277 on 9 Oct 1823 divided among widow Nancy, Robert William Boaz, Lewis Dixon, William John, Will of Robert presented by Josiah Bullington, the executor, June Court 1769.

Notes for JOHN SCRUGGS BULLINGTON:
Some records indicate that John Scruggs was born in 1861, some in 1863

*Memories*

as told by Penny Engel (a story told to her by Nona Bell Bullington Williamson)

"Both John Scruggs and Perry Ann passed away within two months of each other. When John Scruggs passed away in his home, his wife, Perry was across the hall. Their children were taking care of them during this time. They didn't tell Perry Ann that John had passed away for fear of upsetting her too much. They snuck the body out of the house so that Perry Ann wouldn't know. Perry died not long thereafter. They lived on the corner of 22 highway (known also as Little Rock Road) and 255 highway, with the house facing Hwy. 22. The house had a long front porch, and in the summer, on Sunday afternoons, they brought all the food out to the front porch, and people from both Fort Smith and Barling would come and visit and have a bite to eat. One in particular was Mr. Beland from Fort Smith, he would come on horseback from Fort Smith every Sunday just to visit. (This was when most of the Bullington kids were still living at home)" This same Mr. Beland was the grandfather of the man that in the 1980's married John Scruggs great granddaughter.

as told by Jacqueline McClain and Bella Jo Crosslin

"After the kids were all grown and living on their own, the grandchildren would come over on Saturdays, they'd give each of them a dime and they could each go to the Thrifty Cash store, owned by Ms. Woods, and could get peanuts and a pop, or a candy bar and a pop. It was a big thrill back then.

John Scruggs had a great sense of humor, he would always eat without his teeth to make us laugh, and it was so funny the way he'd move his chin, he was a character."

Notes for PARRIAH ANN (PERRY OR PARRIE) JONES:
*As told by the grandchildren*

The grandchildren all always minded what their grandma Perry said, she had switches on the wall in vases, but she didn't ever use them, they were just there for effect. She would tell them, "I said no, that's a word with a bark on it." and they knew they'd better do what they were told.

Though Perry Ann and John Scruggs didn't have a storm shelter, every time it stormed all the grandkids rushed to Grandma's house. It wasn't any safer, but I guess it made them feel better.

Marriage Notes for MYRTLE BULLINGTON and EDWIN STEINKE:
*Memories*

by Bella Jo Williamson Crosslin

"Everytime I went to their house, I was amazed at all the stuff in her house.... she must have kept everything she ever had; old calendars and everything. In the summertime when she would can tomatoes, I would go to her house and watch her ... she cooked them outside on an open fire, and then put them in the jars...sometimes she'd let me help. You couldn't even see Aunt Myrt's house from the outside for the plants and everything.... I still dream about that house now, it was so interesting because it was so full of things... "

by Jacqueline Pauline Williamson McClain

"Aunt Myrt's house was wall to wall furniture..... she kept everything! I don't remember alot about her cooking, but I do remember that her rolls were the best I'd ever ate! When she got dressed to go to church, if she had a red dress, then she had a red hat and red shoes, red purse... she always matched completely head to toe! "

by Penny Leigh Crosslin Engel

"I loved my Aunt Myrt...she was so sweet. When she went into the resthome, I remember that she and Uncle Ed had the same room there... I thought that was neat. It was like having their own little apartment. I think it was at Medi-Home in Fort Smith. When I was really small, she would save all her little pill cups that the nurse brought her medicine in and when Momma would take me there, I'd play with all the little cups... wouldn't do much for the kids nowadays, but I thought it was great back then. One time, when our choir went to sing at the nursing home.... we went to Aunt Myrt's door... (this was when I went to Chaffin).... she didn't talk much then, but I remember that she grabbed ahold of my dress and wouldn't let go... at that age, it kind of scared me. Mamaw and I went to see her some when Aunt Myrt was in her nineties... she knew who we were... and would call me by name. Aunt Doll and Aunt Grace couldn't believe it... but she did."

"Aunt Zella was the best cook of all the sisters! She could make hamburgers taste wonderful.. she wasn't a fancy cook, but she could really cook a meal! "

by Bella Jo Williamson Crosslin

"Aunt Zella made the best iced tea.... I've never had any better than the tea that she made. When she got ill later in life, I stayed with her alot, helping take care of her... and my heart was broken when she died. She was the closest sister to Momma, aside from Pearl when Mother was young."

by Penny Leigh Crosslin Engel

"The first time in my life that I remember being told that someone had died was when Aunt Zella died... my Mom sat me down in the living room of our house and told me and it broke my heart... I loved Aunt Zella.... she was the sweetest one of the bunch besides my Mamaw... when I was really little, I'd go to Aunt Zella's alot, she was always my favorite great Aunt... she and Aunt Doll had gotten into an argument and it hurt my feelings because I thought Aunt Doll was being mean to Aunt Zella..(they lived side by side, separated by a fence)...so I went out with the scissors, and every rose of Aunt Doll's that had poked through the fence on Aunt Zella's side, I decided to cut them all off... then I threw them over the fence into Aunt Doll's yard. I didn't tell Aunt Zella that I did it... an hour or so later, Aunt Zella and I were sitting in the living room of her house and we both heard Aunt Doll screaming outside... Aunt Zella went outside and Aunt Doll gave her what for about cutting off the tops of all of her roses.... Aunt Zella knew then that I had to be the one that did it, but she took the blame anyway... and told Aunt Doll to keep her rose buds on HER side of the fence or she'd chop 'em off again! I thought I was going to be in real trouble, but when Aunt Zella came back in the house, she just smiled and said, "You did that for me, didn't you?" I was teary eyed and told her yes... and she just hugged me and said that it was sweet...a few minutes later she just started laughing out loud and looked at me and said, "I can't wait to tell Nona Bell, (my grandmother)...she'll get a big kick outta that."

"Aunt Grace made THE best Strawberry Shortcake on earth. She always made it when we'd have pot luck dinners at church. She brought this HUGE bowl of it... and it was gone in no time. Everyone would get her dessert first, before they actually made their plates, so they'd be sure to have some. She always had a garden in her backyard that she worked on constantly...she loved flowers and had a flower garden or two, too. I remember when I was really little, she worked at Medi-Sav Pharmacy in Barling.... it was where First National Bank in Barling is now on Fort Street (Hwy. 22)...then she worked at Thrifty Cash (the quicky store) for a long time too. She made some red velvet curtains to hang in the Baptistry at church, and they hung there for years and years."

*Memories*

as told by Bella Jo Williamson Crosslin

"Momma would get behind the french doors, they had glass panes, & there was a petition right down the middle of the house - she would wait until dark, and jump out at me without her teeth on to scare me when I was little, and then chase me all through the house laughing hysterically... it used to scare me to death! Shows how much we had to do for entertainment back then. Looking back, I realize that we were poor, we really didn't have any money, but we didn't know it. We never felt poor when we were little. We had everything we needed, and that was all that mattered."

as told by Jacqueline Williamson McClain

"When Jim and I were married and it would get close to the end of the month and we wouldn't have any money, Momma would bring us a dollar and a big bag of popcorn so that Jim and I, and Momma and Daddy could all go to the movies. When we were growing up, you had to heat water on the stove and took a bath in a galvanized tub. Jo would take a bath first, then I would take a bath, then Arval would take his last. Momma always told us not to sit on the edge of the tub because it may tip over. One time, I sat on the edge anyway, the tub tipped over and water went everywhere! I missed my bath that night and got a spanking to boot!"

as told by Penny Crosslin Engel and Tracy McClain Ferrari

"We used to love to sit and watch the show Banana Splits at Mama's (pronounced Mamaw) house. She'd fix us cut up lemons with the same little pink plastic bowl filled with a mixture of sugar and salt. We'd sit in the middle of the living room floor and eat it while we watched television. One day, Mama kept on clearing her throat behind us and coughing. When it finally got so loud we couldn't hear the television, we turned around - and there she was sitting in "her" chair, with her dress pulled up, wearing shorts!! We'd never even seen Mama in pants, much less shorts - she saw the looks on our faces and laughed for hours."

*Memories*

as told by Bella Jo Williamson Crosslin

"Daddy was so tender hearted, he would cry about anything. When he was in the army, I remember when I was about three or four years old, if we ever had to drive off and leave him I could look back and see him standing there crying waving goodbye to us. He would even cry at sad movies. He wouldn't discipline us, he just couldn't do it, it was always up to Momma. Even after we got married, Momma always said that he was happy just to see us outside, to see us pulling up when we got off work, etc. (We
all lived on the same street) He loved his family so much."

as told by Jacqueline Williamson McClain

"Me and Momma and Daddy would take turns on doing each other's yards. Daddy would ride the riding mower and make me and Momma use the push mowers and we'd just be mowing away and we'd stop for a drink or something and notice we couldn't hear the riding lawn mower anymore, he would've snuck off and went in the house to watch soap operas. He loved watching them. Daddy was never mad... he was always smiling and laughing."

as told by Tracy McClain Ferrari

"I loved coming to Mama's and Papa's house for coke parties (we made coke floats), we'd watch HeeHaw on television and watch Mannix - Papa loved those shows. I remember he always wore overalls, everyday of the week - except when he went to town on Saturdays, Mama made him dress up a little. He called me sugarfoot, and he always made me feel special. Since my Dad when I was eighth grade, it was Papa that taught me how to drive. "

as told by Penny Crosslin Engel

"I spent every Saturday with Mama and Papa, we went to K-mart on Zero Street in Ft. Smith and to the grocery store (which was on one side of K-mart at the time).... I usually hid from Mama and would go to the service desk and have them page her and here she'd come, grinnin' at me knowing what I was up to. Me and Papa didn't like to go with Mama to get groceries, so after she left Kmart and went in the grocery store, me and Papa would go back in Kmart and buy a submarine sandwich and two cokes and go sit in the car and split it. He'd sneak me a dollar every Saturday when Mama wasn't looking and I'd combine it with my dollar allowance from Momma and Daddy and buy two new packages of paperdolls. He'd always say, "Now, don't you tell your Mama or she'll get us both!"."
