[edit] James Bulloch's relationship with Theodore Roosevelt

This is a little appreciated topic. I am going to add information to this article on that. SimonATL 18:13, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Martha Bulloch

It seems to me that the mother of this guy is confused with his (half/step-)sister. The link in the intro of the text points to this sister. Can someone check this out please? 62.194.163.45 21:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll check out the links. I got interested in these various planter families in Roswell from a different direction, but have added some details for clarification. Martha (Stewart) Elliott was James Dunwody Elliott's step-grandmother, as she was the second wife of his mother's father Senator John Elliott.

Then the senator died and Martha Stewart Elliott, widow, married Maj. James Stephens Bulloch, widower. So then she was James D. Bulloch's stepmother.

Major James Bulloch and Martha Elliott had a daughter Martha Bulloch. She is usually the one highlighted, as after her marriage she became the mother of Theodore Roosevelt, who became president. She was stepsister to James D. Bulloch.

Very intertwined families, especially as mortality made multiple marriages common. Women often died young, especially in connection with childbearing.

I also added data about slaveholding. These people were in the planter class, and I think it's useful to point out what that meant. The labor was done by enslaved African-Americans, not "servants" who "helped with" tasks. All the leading families in Roswell (and I suppose, in Georgia) were planters.--Parkwells 13:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
