General Notes: Husband - John Fulkerson

---

He was of German descent, and the earliest record has him a resident of Virginia, living near Rappahannock, Frederick County. In 1810, he and his wife came to the town of New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in search of a desirable farm on which to locate, traveling three hundred miles on horseback to reach the locality. Mr. Fulkerson was neither a slave-owner nor a believer in the iniquitous practice, and so his coming to this part of Pennsylvania was because he desired to settle in a new country, where slavery had no foothold. He secured a farm of 200 acres, adjoining New Castle, and returned to Virginia, and with horses and wagons brought his worldly effects and children, with the exception of two, who chose to remain in their old home. The farm had some few improvements, there being a small log-house or cabin, and a few acres had been cleared by the former occupant by burning, and were consequently very fertile. So it was with little difficulty he installed his household in the new home, and set about acquiring a competence and securing a livelihood. There he reared his family, and with the assistance of his sons cleared the land. Both he and his wife lived to exceed eighty years of age. He was an attendant of the Presbyterian Church, and helped to construct the first church building.
