Just saw this message and thought I would throw my two cents. in. Charles, William W., and Lyman Bullock all came from Missouri to Miami County, Kansas, and in 1870 left Miami County for what is now Osborne County, Kansas. In March 1870 Charles & William established a Sod & Log structure they dubbed "the Bullock Brothers Stockade." For the next two years this was the primary staging point for hunters, trappers, and settlers in Northwest Kansas. In 1871younger brother Lyman arrived and took up a homestead next to the others. By 1870 Charles & William had moved further west; William died of smallpox in 1883 and is buried at Rico, Colorado, while Charles was last known to be alive at around the same time in "the Northern Arizona mining camps." Lyman married and had numerous children, but moved away in the 1890s and local efforts to track him have so far failed. Charles & William were inducted into the Osborne County Hall of Fame in 2001 for their successful efforts in creating the first permanent settlement in what is now Osborne County.
