RESPONSE: Hello, Sorry, I am not familiar with this particular family but I can give you some factual information which could help you. First, neither would have been born in either Harlan Co. or Bell Co. Harlan Co. was not formed until 1819 from parts of Knox Co. and at least one other county. Bell was not formed until abt. 1868. I checked the marriage records for Knox Co. and their marriage is not shown there under any spelling; however, as of the 1810 Fed. Census, they are physically listed in Knox Co. From the information provided in the census, they probably married around 1808 or 1809 at the latest. Check under "County Formations" at: http://www.usgenweb.org Then click on Kentucky and scroll until you locate it. 1810 Knox Co. transcribed page 20 FULKS, Elizabeth, female, over 40 years of age (I am simply making an assumption this is the mother of Gabriel) FULKS, Gabriel, male, bet. 16-25 . .Female, bet. 16-26 . . Male, under 10 (so could have been anywhere in age from a newborn up through 10 years) You need to check them out in the 1820 and 1830 to closer pin down the son's age grouping category. They are not in Knox as of 1820 and since Harlan was formed in 1819, would probably be found there. As of the 1850 Harlan Co. "annotated" census, what remains of that family is: Dwelling 3474 FULTZ, James, 22, b. kY (s/o Gabriel FULTZ and Leah) . . Emaline, 22, b. KY (nee WARD) . . Gabriel, 3, b. KY (would later marry Elizabeth McPHERSON) . .Catharine, 6 month, b. kY . . Leah, 61, "BORN IN TENNESSEE" (this is the widow of Gabriel FULTZ who died bet. 1843 and Feb. 1845 per the annotation). I also see in the dwelling next to them is Edward NORTH with wife, Sally/Sarah. She was also a daughter of Gabriel FULTZ and wife. Sorry, I don't know more about this family.
