Speaking of the Bullocks, I might have a slight clue: Many of them lived in
and around Daviess County just south of Greene County, IN. Check the Daviess
county records. I know they lived near Raglesville and have a reunion in
Odon in Daviess County, IN. I went there once while search for my great
grandmother Martha Sims. Those two places are very close to Greene county,
IN. Good luck!

I know this is a VERY old thread, but seeing as I have yet to find anyone
else who has any kind of evidence for Rebecca (Bullock) Abram's parentage, I
wanted to add my theory:
I believe Nathan Bullock and Minerva Cole to be Rebecca's parents. Nathan
and Minerva were living with (presumably) Minerva's parents Harbin and
Rebecca (Davis) Cole and their daughter (listed as Malanda/Malinda, though I
believe her name to actually be Miranda) in the 1850 Greene County census.
There is a marriage record for a Minerva Bullock and a Samuel Sandifur, who
married on January 30, 1859. Samuel and Minerva appear in the 1860 census
(listed as Sanderford) as the family directly after Harbin and Rebecca Cole,
and it lists a Maranda and a Rebecca - both roughly matching the correct
ages (Miranda was listed as 1 in 1850 and 10 in 1860 and Rebecca was listed
as 8) - as children in the household, but it lists their last name as
Sanderford as well. I have seen this particular naming mistake made before
in my own ancestry, so I do not believe it means anything that they're
listed as Sanderfords, too. There is a two year age difference between the
Minerva Bullock of the 18!
50 census and the Minerva Sandefur of the 1860 census (20 in 1850 compared
to 32 in 1860), but this is reconciled in the 1870 census where she is
listed as being exactly 20 years older than she was in the 1850 census.
In addition, as was stated, Rebecca married Samuel Abram. Samuel's brother
Jacob married first a Miranda Bullock and then a Margaret Sandefur, both of
whom I believe to be Rebecca's sisters - the 1860 and 1870 censuses for
Samuel and Minerva also list a Margaret as being their child. Of course, it
was not uncommon for siblings in one family to marry siblings of another, so
I do take this to be evidence as well.
While all the evidence I have is circumstantial, it is the only thing that
makes sense to me. Nathan and Minerva Bullock disappear after 1850; there is
a marriage record for a Minerva Bullock to a Samuel Sandefur in 1859; the
Miranda and Rebecca listed in the 1860 census with Samuel and Minerva are
too old to be their children together, which implies a different father for
them; Rebecca and both a Miranda Bullock and Margaret Sandefur married into
the same family of Abram's; and Rebecca's death certificate lists a Nathan
Bullock as her father and the Nathan Bullock married to Minerva Cole seems
to be the only Nathan Bullock in the entire state of Indiana at the time.
I'm currently in the process of trying to find an obituary for any of
Minerva's other children to see if they mention Rebecca, but I have yet to
find an obituary for any of them. If anyone has any other evidence (or a
rebuttal), please feel free to add.
Now, after the conclusion I've drawn, my question is this: Who was Nathan
Bullock? I've found plenty of information on Minerva Cole's ancestors (well,
her mother's ancestors anyway), but I have found nothing on Nathan's. Does
anyone have any information?
On a side note, I'm a descendant of Joseph and Edith (Abrams) Hendricks'
daughter Velma. She married Charles Hamm and they are my great grandparents.
