• Notes

  Line 1639 from GEDCOM File not recognizable or too long: DEAT 2 PLAC Virginia/N. Carolina border per Laila Thompson: reading the will Dirck Volckerse of Somerset County New Jersey made in 1754 one sees a bit of emotion appear through the formal language. Dirck wanted to be sure his only son could not claim any more of his estate than papa wished him to have. Volkert, the son, owed his father money and had already received his share. Dirck cancelled the debt but carefully took it our of Volkert's children's share. He named all of Volkert's seven sons and three daughters. Lord Granville, one of the original proprietors of North Carolina in order to keep from being euchered out of his share of the profits of his land started selling. The kind was taking over the proprietary colonies and Granville would have had nothing, so he started selling at very low prices. Some places the land was going for 5 cents and acre, although most of it sold higher than that. This may have been the magnet that drew the Fulkerson clan. As stated before Volkert Fulkerson, the father was reported killed or dying on the trip down. Not long after they arrived in Rowan County North Carolina and acquired property, Richard, the eldest son was killed by Indians. He left his wife, Eleanor a widow and two boys and two girls orphaned. Brother James turned over some property in Surry County to help this family. Most of the dates of the children are from the Raritan Dutch Reformed Church. Abraham was christened at Readington DRC. Frederick's name was spelled Vrdrk onthe record. James was christened Jacobus.
