Alexander Bullock
Alexander Hamilton Bullock (March 2, 1816 – January 17, 1882) was an American lawyer, politician, and businessman from Massachusetts. First a Whig and then a Republican, he served three terms (1866-69) as the 26th Governor of Massachusetts. He was actively opposed to the expansion of slavery before the American Civil War, playing a major role in the New England Emigrant Aid Society, founded in 1855 to settle the Kansas Territory with abolitionists. He was for many years involved in the insurance industry in Worcester, where he also served one term as mayor.
==Early years==
Alexander Hamilton Bullock was born on March 2, 1816 in Royalston, Massachusetts, the son of Sarah (Davis) and Rufus Bullock. His father was a merchant and farmer who also owned a small mill and was active in local politics. He attended the local schools before going to Leicester Academy.〔Crane, pp. 19–20〕 Bullock graduated from Amherst College in 1836 and from Harvard Law School in 1840. He was then admitted to the Massachusetts Bar and joined the law practice of Emory Washburn in Worcester.〔Crane, p. 20〕 However, he drifted away from the law, becoming involved in the insurance business as an agent.〔 He eventually joined the State Mutual Life Assurance Company, which had John Davis as its first president.〔Rice, p. 380〕
In 1842 Bullock became active in political and public service. He served as a military assistant to John Davis, who was governor that year, after which he was frequently referred to as "Colonel Bullock".〔Devens, p. 6〕 In that year he also became editor of the ''National Aegis'', a Whig newspaper with which he would remain associated for many years.〔Devens, p. 7〕
In 1844 Bullock married Elvira Hazard, daughter of Augustus George Hazard of Enfield, Connecticut; they had three children,〔Nutt, p. 17〕 including explorer Fanny Bullock Workman.〔James, p. 672〕 Elvira's father was owner of a major munitions factory, and upon his death in 1868 the Bullocks inherited a significant fortune, becoming one of the wealthiest families in the state.〔Pauly, p. 33〕
