William H. Bulkeley was born in East Haddam, Connecticut, March 2, 1840. He was the son of Eliphalet Adams Bulkeley and Lydia S. Bulkeley and the brother of Morgan Bulkeley. His father was Member of Connecticut State Senate for the 19th District, 1838, 1840 and Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives. His brother was Governor of Connecticut from 1889 to 1893 and a United States Senator. In 1847, the family moved to Hartford, Connecticut. He left high school before graduation, despite admirable records, and entered an old an leading dry-goods establishment as a clerk. In March 1857, he moved to Brooklyn, New York City, and engaged in the same business with H.P. Morgan & Co, before starting in the trade himself. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War.

Some discoloration is evident due to age as well as a tiny bit of splitting where the policies fold up. This wear is very common with paper documents of this age. The overall condition of this item in my opinion is prestige considering again it is over 140 years old. I have provided pictures of the front, back, and the inward details of the policy so that any interested party may know exactly what they're looking at and the condition thereof. Shipping will be free for this lot. I thank you for your time spent viewing this item!
