Surnames: Lunceford-Bullock
You asked about Gideon Lunceford, born about 1849, buried at High Cemetery, Van Zandt Co., TX. He was married to Mary Eliza "Molly" Bullock.
Gideon was born in Wilkes Co., GA to Peter Lunceford and Mary W. W. Knight. Gideon and Mary E. Bullock were married in Wilkes Co., GA, on Feb. 11, 1869. Mary was born 1843/44 in ALabama to Thomas R. Bullock and Nancy Jackson.
In 1880, Gideon and Mary had moved to Van Zandt Co., TX and are listed in the census with Mary's mother, Nancy Jackson Bullock, in their Household. Gideon and Mary/"Molly" did not have children.
Gideon died in 1908 and is buried at High Cemetery. "Molly" lived in various homes with relatives until her death, (sometime after the 1920 Census, I do not know exact date). In 1920, "Molly" was living in Henderson Co., TX with her niece, Nancy Elizabeth "Lizzie" (Arnold)Burns-Page.
Molly's sister, and "Lizzie"'s mother, Sarah E. Bullock, was married 1st in 1859 in Montgomery Co., AL, to Robert Arnold. She was married 2nd in 1868 in Oglethorpe Co., GA,to Reuben Wilkes Lunceford, Gideon's brother. This family was recorded in Taliaferro Co., GA. in 1880 and they came to Van Zandt Co., TX shortly thereafter.
I would welcome discussing the Lunceford family connection with Nancy Elizabeth "Lizzie" Burns-Page, with you. "Lizzie" is half-sister to my husband's grandfather, Thomas Hardy Lunceford, who is buried at Jamestown Cemetery, Smith Co., TX.
