General Notes: Husband - Rev. Isaac Kolb

---

He married and moved to Gwynedd township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, called North Wales, and had nine children. He was an extremely strong man, and was known as "Der Grosse Isaac," or "der sehr starke man"\emdash the very strong man.

Incidents by Dr. John Overholt:\emdash The Kulp ancestors were a strong, athletic people, some of them almost giants. It is related that Isaac Kulp (known as "Strong Isaac") was a powerful man. It is said that when he was building a house, one day while at dinner, he was discussing with his workmen whether the cross beams could be hauled to the place with two horses, or whether four horses would be required. After dinner he walked out to where the timber lay, and shouldered it, and to the utter surprise of the workmen they saw him bearing the piece of timber on his shoulders. The fame of his strength was heralded far and wide throughout the neighborhood round about. He was a peaceably disposed man, and would not fight, though often challenged. When on a certain trip to Philadelphia, he stopped at a hotel over night, he came in contact with a bully, who challenged him to fight, which was declined, whereupon the bully branded him a coward and struck him in the face, which angered Mr. Kulp so that he grabbed the bully by both his arms near the shoulders and set him in a chair that squashed under him. When he arose from the floor both of his arms were powerless. The bully said he was satisfied with the experiment, and did not wish to fight with Kulp after that.
