He was in the 21st Illinois Infantry, Company H. He is buried in Valparaiso IN, and lived there a short while. Other than that, I have no info on this gentleman. I am trying to put together a history of all of the CW men buried in our City of Valparaiso, and can not come up with anything on him. I don't find him in any Census in the State of Indiana, so I can only assume he came here after 1880. Any help on this would be appreciated. <br />I know that "my" Silas and the one posted here are from different time periods, and that there are multiple Silas Bullard's in the Country in 1880, but Since I have really no info on him, I thought I would try. <br />Thank you and have a great day.<br />SteveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576614777350068287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33174501.post-46368969174418597922015-02-08T11:47:57.342-06:002015-02-08T11:47:57.342-06:00An update: A letter written by Samuel's grand...An update: A letter written by Samuel's grand-daughter, Betsy Bullard Nichols surfaced recently on ancestry.com, confirming Samuel's death as such "my Granfather came from the east and settled on a farm in Onondaga Co near the place whare he was killed he was killed while at a raisin of a distilery on what is known at the Lords Corners..." The descendant of this family also posted a wonderful record of another great-grandson of Samuel's, Oliver Nichols. Oliver was wounded, but survived the Battle of the Wilderness.

My great-...Thank you so much for this information! My great-great-great grandmother was Elizabeth Bullard of Onondaga, NY. Her grandfather was Samuel Bullard who was killed in the barn raising accident in Onondaga County. I live close to that area which is called "Lord's Corners". I just started researching this part of my family line and as a history buff, the information you posted makes the job less of a chore! Ironically, Elizabeth Bullard's grand-daughter, would lose her husband at a young age from being gored to death by a bull on the family farm, less than a mile from Lord's Corners.
