The Fulcher Family
Click on image to enlarge it.
Thomas Fulcher [1583 M383-WD5] married Susan Scowan [1590 L7G8-K8G] in the City of London, England in 1610. Three hundred years later on May 4, 1910 his six times great grandson Franklin Porter Fulcher and his wife Cora E. Thompson would be living with their children in Sterling County, Texas not far from Big Springs, Texas according to the 1910 US Census.
There is an online book about Capt. Thomas Fulcher (ancestor of Terlingua Fulchers) but it appears to show his other lines of descendancy. Need to review in detail to see where it branches away. read it at https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/c/l/o/Ellen-F-Cloud/BOOK-0001/0004-0001.html
“Capt. Thomas Fulcher [1666 G3WL-MMJ] came to America after receiving a charter from the King of England to settle an area that is now in southern Virginia. His son, John, was the first Fulcher known to have been born in America. His witnessed will in Lower Norfolk county, Virginia shows that he received patent for 200 acres in Lower Norfolk County on 26 Oct 1666 and another 60 acres in the same county on 28 Oct 1672. Court records show that in 1672 he was planning to leave the country.
In 1691 records state that he was in England. Thomas and wife lived at The Manor Plantation which was owned by her father, Capt. John Sibsey. Later it was sold to Lewis Conner by their son John.”
From research notes of Ellen F. Cloud made available by Andrew Fulker.
