William Fontaine Bullock wrote of his father: "My father Edmund Bullock, the oldest son of Edward and Agnes Bullock, was a native of Hanover Co., VA and was descended from a stock distinguished for integrity. His education was as thorough and accurate as the times would permit. In early life he emigrated to 'The District of Kentucky' where he soon acquired a high standing, based upon his exalted merits as a man and as a citizen. In all his dealings, he was faithful and just and in his intercourse with his fellow men he was polite, noble and generous. He was soon called into public life, and was for many years a leading member of the Legislature of Kentucky. He was Speaker at different times of both branches of that body and in that capacity won for himself a high reputation. He was alike remarkable for his dignity and urbanity of manners and for his stern and unbending sense of Justice. Throughout a long life he lived above reproach - a noble specimen of an honest man. He died in the 89th year of his life, at peace with God through Faith in Christ."
