BULLITT, Alexander Scott, statesman, born in Prince William County, Virginia, in 1761; died in Jefferson County, Kentucky, 13 April, 1816. In 1784 he settled in Shelby County, Virginia (now Kentucky), but the continual depredations of the Indians caused him to remove to Jefferson County, and he settled near Sturgus' Station. He was a delegate to the convention that met at Danville in 1792 to frame the constitution of Kentucky. After its adoption he represented his county in the state senate, and was the first speaker, serving as such from 1792 till 1804. In 1799 he was a delegate to the convention that met at Frankfort for the purpose of amending the state constitution, and presided at its meetings. He became in 1800 the first lieutenant governor of Kentucky. He retired from politics in 1808, and passed the latter portion of his life on the farm in Jefferson County, where he died.
