General Notes: Husband - James Fulkerson
Being one of the oldest of the children when the family came to Pennsylvania, he was of valuable assistance to his father in clearing the farm, and in keeping the wild animals that abounded thereabouts, from molesting their live stock. For his own farm he bought a tract of 200 acres, adjoining his father's property, which farm his brothers, Robert J. and Lewis Fulkerson, owned later on, and set about in earnest to support himself and to accumulate property. He made the work of clearing as easy as possible by burning what would later have been considered very valuable lumber, but which was considered in the way of the growing crops then. His brother went to the War of 1812, and James started with him, but met with a fall, which left him a cripple in his left arm the remainder of his life. He was a prominent man among the town's citizens, and active in matters of public interest, but never held an office. He died at the age of seventy-nine. In the battle of life he ever looked on the bright side, was of a cheery disposition and never down-hearted; in his immediate surroundings he was a kind and loving husband and father.
