SIBBYRENO BULL

Sibbyreno Bull


The women of my family have been called tenacious, headstrong, willful, and even stubborn. But no one in their right mind would call one of us bull-headed, more than once. The terms we prefer are steadfast, dedicated, relentless, and true. We've come by this reputation honestly. 
She was born in 1746, the youngest child and only daughter of a latter-day chieftain of what once was called the old Irish or, going way back, they were of the Clan Cenel Fearadhaigh.
They were horse people, their whole stock and trade was the breeding of some of the finest equine stock on the planet. She was my sixth great-grandmother.
