Dr. Joseph Gaston Baillie Bulloch was born in Roswell, Cobb County, Georgia, October 12, 1852, and is the son of the late distinguished physician and surgeon, Dr. William Gaston Bulloch and Mary Eliza Adams Lewis, both natives of Savannah, Georgia. Dr. J.G.B. Bulloch was brought up at his home in Savannah, Georgia, and attended the schools in that city, thence went to Yorkville Military School, Yorkville, S.C., thence to Bryant Stratton's and Sadler's Business College, Baltimore, Maryland, and graduated from the South Carolina Medical College, Charleston, South Carolina, on March 7, 1877, having attended his first course at the Savannah Medical College which, owing to the yellow fever epidemic in 1876, had to suspend. While living in Savannah he assisted his father as physician to the Georgia Infirmary, Chatham County Jail and the Convict Camp, and, besides the practice of medicine, has held many positions in patriotic and other societies and has been well known as an author on genealogical, medical and sanitary articles and other different writings.

The Order of Washington was founded at Mobile, Ala., in 1895, and, as far as I am aware, is the only one named for the illustrious general and statesman, George Washington. Our members having become separated, the Order remained in abeyance when an attempt was made by Mr. Jorn Eyerman of Easton, Pa., and myself, to revive the Order... Nothing further was done until I became permanently settled in this city, when I determined to reorganize the Order, and with the assistance of certain gentlemen, we placed it upon a firm basis, and on May 13, 1908, formally instituted the Order and recieved a charter for the same on June 11, 1908, so that we have the satisfaction of knowing that the Order of Washington is now firmly established, and as a qualification for membership requires that the ancestor must have arrived in America before 1750, have been a landowner or founder of a town, held some official, military or ministerial position in the Colonial service, and had a descendant who aided the Colonies in attaining their independence.
