Where did "James Whitis Bulloch" come from?
I have been searching out his background and looking for FACTS about his family, his parents and brothers and sisters (if he has any). This is where I plan to store my collected information on him:

"Two Centuries in East Texas", by George L.Crocket
He married the sister of Colonel Alexander Horton (Nancy) with whom he came to
Texas in 1824. He was a gallant soldier but improvident of his private fortune,
and lived in straitened circumstances" (page 156)

The people of East Texas declared in favor of the constitution in 1824, at once flew to arms and elected James W. Bulloch Commander-in-Chief. James W. Bulloch was a well tried soldier. He had served under the immortal Jackson in
Indian Wars
and was with him at the Battle of New Orleans (Col. Claiborne's Regiment,
Mississippi Militia).
The Texans marched for the town of Nacogdoches the last of July 1832.
Event: On the morning of 2 Aug 1832 the forces met in the eastern outskirts of Nacogdoches and elected Colonel James W. Bulloch as Commander-in-Chief
of approximately 500 men.

Event: Military 1846 Colonel in War of Independence from Mexico
Also on the Attoyac River, on a place called the "Island", lived Colonel James W. Bulloch, the commander of the forces of the colonists at the Battle of Nacogdoches.
Colonel Bulloch was an old solider under Andrew Jackson.
James Whitis Bulloch was a native of Georgia*, a member of the Bulloch family which became so noted in later history, and
thus a relative of Theodore Roosevelt.

He was with General Jackson in the battle of New Orleans.
*There is no proof he was from Georgia, all records indicate North Carolina as his birthplace..LLF.

"A Tribute To His Grandmother"....by Sam Houston Horton 

I have oft times in long after years heard my grandmother tell of her trip from
Washington Parish, Louisiana to join her father in Texas, not knowing but that she would find his body mouldering to decay, the victum of desease or the scalping knives of savages. She was a woman of heroic mould, of fine judgement, inflexible will and determination in carrying to consummation any project or undertaking that appealed to her judgement as proper or necessary, but she never could see the proprioty or nesessity of (James Whitis) Bulloch or Sam W. Horton (her son) leaving her thirteen year old son (who was Alexander Horton) exposed to such dangers and hardships in the wilds of an uninhabited country. She would oft reminiscently remark, seated around a winter's fire, earnestly picking the seed from cotton--
notwithstanding my father's gin was situated a few hundred yards from the residence--
"I would not have left him there for the state of Texas, it was enough to have unbalanced the mind of so young a child, to say nothing of the dangers to which he was constantly exposed, and I greatly feared that I would never again see him alive."
