To E Duiker, My Uncle, J. Delbert Fulks, last visited my father Glover Fulks a few weeks before my father died during the summer of 1972. I was living in N.J at the time and unfortunately did not get to meet Delbert, however,my father mentioned Delbert often and seemed to be very fond of him. As I remember, Delbert was living in Yakima WA. My father and my Uncle Bill visited Uncle Delbert in the late 60's or 70.s in Yakima. Since I was living in another state at the time, I don't remember much about their trip. I can be reached in goodyear, AZ, at 970-739-0334. best wishes, Bill

am searching for David Fulks b. circa 1780 married Sarah McCarty circa 1840 in Monroe Co TN d. 1860 in Tn. Children include Marry, Joshua, Elijah, Armnenia "America", Lear and Henry born in 1859. I have oral history of these children being born in Germany and brought to the USA. I am looking for anyone with proof or similar history of this.

ShonnaLarson1 — 2011-09-16 05:49:26Z

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how my Fulks ancestors mesh with all those mentioned. My ggg grandfather David Fulks b 1824, married Elizabeth Caroline Laine b 1827. One of their children was nicknamed Babe, although his real name was Elias Louis Fulks, 1855-1951. One of his brothers was John Baxter Fulks, my gg grandfather. It is a very confusing family.

Is this the same "Uncle Babe" you mention, although the mothers seem different?

Re: Henry Benjamin Fulks

48tphillips — 2011-08-08 23:21:15Z

There are so many Henry Fulks it must be a name handed down many generations. Henry Benjamin grandfathers name was Henry Jr and great grandfather is Henry Sr. That's 3 Henry's in 4 generations. As far as the Indian heritage we know Fulks came over from England so you have to look into the surnames of there wife's. I'm almost positive it's there just have to find it. Henry Benjamin my great grandfather married sarah southern in Indian territory Oklahoma my grandfather was born in Leflore Indian territory he married Mattie hollan in Leflore

Hi Bevelyn,

Send me your email address at bobanna7@verizon.net and I will give you Shirley Faulks Porter's contact info. This way you can speak with her directly.

That's interesting that John William and family could have moved to be near to the Rogers.

Re: Death place in Texas of John William Fulks ca 1900

bevelynwolf1 — 2010-12-20 21:56:29Z

Anna: I think possibly John is buried in the Old Rock Church Cemetery in Somerset, Atascosa, Texas. This county
is next to San Antonio, Bexar County. John and Mary's cousin, James Madison Rogers, is buried there and I believe
his first wife is also. Several of James Favors' relatives are buried their.

Also would you please let me know what information the relative of John Dykes used in deciding that Pauline Baygents is the mother of John, Mary and Robert. It is
really important to me to know this and I would be totally grateful if you would let me know.

Death place in Texas of John William Fulks ca 1900

bobanna7 — 2010-12-20 15:26:21Z

I am trying to locate the place of death, and hopefully burial, of my 2nd great grandfather, John William Fulks (1865- ca 1900). He was 35 years old at his death. The family story says he and his wife, Cynthia Steele, left Caldwell/Ouachita parish LA in 1899-1900 with their 6 young children for a better life in Texas. The story says they went to San Antonio but I cannot find any family in that area during that time period. Both of John's siblings, Robert Lee Fulks and Mary Octavia Fulks Favors, lived in Wood county Texas in 1900. John and Cynthia were not in Texas more than 2 years, maybe not even one, when John died. Cynthia loaded the 6 children in a wagon and returned to Caldwell Parish LA. Robert Lee also lived in Hopkins County TX but moved back to Caldwell at the end of his short life, 39 years. Mary Octavia is buried in Commanche county TX. She died at 43 years old.

Any help would be appreciated.

bevelynwolf1 — 2010-12-07 20:07:48Z

Hi Anna:

It's good to hear from you. I have seen your tree lately and it really seems promising. I definitely think James T
is the father. In the 1850 Census, his family was living
just a few houses away from Jim Rogers and his family.
It seems like relatives liked to live close to each other in those days. Do you know where the latest Fulk descendant got the information or what it's based on? Please let me know if you are able to find out. We are all in this together. Bevelyn

Hi Bevelyn,
I don't know if you have looked at my tree lately but I have met another Fulks descendant (from Robert Lee Fulks, Mary O's other brother) who believes their parents were James T Fulks and Pauline J Baygents. James T Fulks of Choctaw county, MS would be the son of John C (possibly Craig) Fulks of VA and Nancy McAllister. Pauline J Baygents is the daughter of Moses Robert Baygents and his first wife Elizabeth. Let me know what you think.

Born 5 Dec 1883 in Williams County, Alvordton Ohio.
Died 8 Oct 1959 in Traverse City State Hospital Michigan
Was married to LOTTIE PEARL RIES
I have an uncertified copy of his birth certificate which lists his father as William Fulks (no further info) and his mother as Caterine Lyons (no further info)
If you thnk there may be a connection I'd be happy to exchange info.

Re: Elias Fulks

BergRay — 2010-10-04 01:46:10Z

I have limited information on this line.

The 1850 Arkansas census, Independence County, Washington Township, household 820, shows the following:

- George Fulks, 47, farmer, born Tennessee
- Sarah, 37, born Tennessee (age should say 47 or thereabouts)
- Louisa, 26
- Mary A., 18
- Ira A., 16, farmer
- James L., 14
- Eteleva, male, 12 (this is Ptolemy)
- Sarah A., 10
- Harriet, 8
- George W., 6
- Margaret, 4
- Charles M., 2
- Malissa, 8/12

This George is the son of David Fulks, having migrated from Monroe County to Bradley County, Tennessee in 1840 (see 1830 census data for David Fulks), and then to Arkansas by 1850. Independence County is north and east of Little Rock, with Batesville as the county seat.

Immediately adjacent at household 821 is:

- Elias Fulks, 37, farmer, born Tennessee
- Martha (Grigsby) Fulks, 26, born Tennessee
- Nancy A., 20 (child by Elias’ first wife)
- Mary, 12
- Sarah, 8
- Catharine, 6
- George, 2
- James, 1

All children are shown as born in Tennessee. This is another son of David Fulks, who relocated after the death of his father and the sale of the Monroe County property in 1850.

It appears the Catherine you are seeking is the daughter of Elias.

ejduiker — 2010-02-10 01:39:45Z

Hi,
I saw your post and realized we must be related. David W. (Washington Pierce) Fulks is my Great GrandFather. His Son James Delbet Fulks is my GrandFather. My Mother and I have been tracing the family back. She said she can only remember her Father talking about visiting Uncle "Babe" and that his Mother was called "Mattie" but her name was Martha J. Chitwood. My Aunt is named after her. I have an old photo of her. You can contact me if you are interested in sharing information.

Joshua B. Fulks died 1819 Russell Co., VA - father of Obediah?

dgencarelli53 — 2009-11-27 22:05:25Z

Does anyone have any information on this Joshua B. Fulks who died 1819 in Russell Co., VA - part of his estate goes to Obediah Fulks and part of his estate goes to Abednigo White. Evidently, Joshua owes Daniel Horton some money because he (Daniel Horton) places an attachment on the estate, trying to prevent Obediah and Abednigo from collecting their part of the estate.

eunacom1 — 2009-08-15 23:12:04Z

I've heard similar rumblings about a possible bit of Indian heritage but have never been able to prove it one way or the other.
Zella was my (maternal) grandfather's sister and since she died when I was less than a year old, I never knew her.
I've gotten hung up at Jacob Foulks.
If there is an Indian connection I suspect it could be via 'Miss Gallatin'. She was the grandmother of your Zella and My David Elmer. It appears that Miss Gallatin and Daniel Foulks were never married and her history is a mystery.
I hope some of the following helps.

Re: Parents of Mary Octavia Fulks - Missippi/Louisiana

bevelynwolf1 — 2009-02-22 22:43:57Z

Thank you for replying to my message. I had decided that no
one still cared about these relatives but me. I don't believe the link with James and Elizabeth works because
1. John, Mary and Robert's father was born in Missippi and their mother in Louisiana
2. In the 1870 Census listing James and Elizabeth, a John who was much older than your John would have been was listed and Mary who would have been 1 year old was not listed at all.
3. In the 1880 Census, Elizabeth was listed as living with some of her older children, a nephew and neices, but John, Mary and Robert were living with the cousin. That doesn't make sense to me.
It was great to hear from you and it looks like we are related. We'll keep trying and hope to hear from you again.

Am I happy to here from you?!!!! I am working on the exact same problem. My gggrandfather is John Marion Fulks and I believe he is Mary Octavia's brother. I have him with the Rogers in 1880 but in 1870 I find found him with James and Elizabeth Fulks with no relationship specified. And to really confuse things there is a John with the Birge Family in 1860. All of this takes place in Ouachita Parish.
