Life and career
Bulloch was born in 1775 to politician Archibald Bulloch Sr. and Mary De Veaux.[2] He was their second child of four, after James and before Jane and William. Archibald Sr. died the same year as William's birth.
In 1793, Bulloch married Sarah Glen.[3][4]
Bulloch served as Collector of Customs for the Port of Savannah between 1810 and 1822,[2] during which he fought in the War of 1812. William and James were captains in the conflict.[3] Archibald was also a Justice in the Inferior Court.[3]
In 1820, Bulloch had built what became known as the Bulloch–Habersham House in Savannah's Orleans Square.[5] Designed by noted English architect William Jay, it stood for just under a century, having been demolished in 1916 to make way for the Savannah Civic Center.[6]
Death
Bulloch died in 1859, aged 83 or 84. He was interred in Savannah's Laurel Grove Cemetery. His widow survived him for one month, and was interred beside Bulloch.
