Bullock, Lucy Clayton, wife of Thomas Bullock, was born March 26, 1820, at Farrington, Lancashire, England. She was baptized in 1837, being one of the first Latter-day Saint converts in England, and emigrated to Nauvoo, Ill., in 1842. She was married to Thomas Bullock Jan. 23, 1843, and received her endowments in the Nauvoo Temple. Being driven from her home by the mob in September, 1846, she with her husband traveled westward to Winter Quarters, where she lived through the winter of 1847–48 and the summer of 1847, while her husband as a pioneer made his trip to G. S. L. Valley and back. Both then migrated to the Valley, arriving there Sept. 22, 1848. In South Cottonwood, where she made her permanent home, she acted as first counselor to the president of the Ward Relief Society and officiated successfully as a mid-wife in said Ward and other Wards, until the time of her death, which occurred at South Cottonwood April 16, 1879. The immediate cause of her demise was dropsy and other complaints. She passed away without a struggle or a groan, surrounded by her husband, their children and a few of her numerous friends, being 59 years and 26 days old when she died.
