CHARLES  BULLOCK,  Ph.M.1 
For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  are  we  called  upon  to  record  the  decease  of  the  President 
during  his  tenure  of  office. 
Charles  Bullock  was  a  direct  lineal  descendant  of  John  Bullock, 
a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  who  emigrated  from  England 
in  the  very  early  part  of  the  eighteenth  century.  His  wife  died  on 
board  the  ship  during  the  passage. 
His  second  wife  was  Mrs.  Susannah  Parrott,  whose  maiden  name 
had  been  Susannih  Wright.  The  Wrights  had  acquired  title 
to  large  tracts  of  land  in  New  Jersey  by  purchase  and  deeds  from 
the  Indians. 
The  records  show  that  in  1724  Elizabeth  Parrott  deeded  to  John 
and  Susannah  Bullock  200  acres  in  the  township  of  New  Hanover, 
Burlington  County,  N.  J.  He  settled  thereon  and  engaged  in  farm, 
ing.  Several  hundred  acres  more  were  acquired  by  subsequent 
purchases.  A  large  portion  of  this  estate  still  remains  in  the  pos- 
session of  direct  descendants. 
For  three  generations  the  family  continued  in  this  peaceful  occu- 
pation, happy  in  their  unrestricted  religious  liberty  and  enjoying  the 
most  friendly  relations  with  their  fellow-beings. 
On  this  old  homestead,  near  Arneytown,  N.  J.,  John  Bullock,  the 
father  of  Charles  Bullock,  was  born  on  January  14,  1785.  He  was 
wont  to  relate  anecdotes  of  these  early  days  and  experiences,  and  as 
indicating  the  peace  ul  conditions  of  the  surroundings,  related  that

June  25,  1900.
