To Kathleen Whelpley (lucy@cet.com) : Checked my references real quick for your post on the "Stokes" queary. I did find the Elizabeth Stokes who married David Fullerton. On page 965 of the "History of Crawford County, 1885": David L. Fullerton, farmer, PO Miller's Station, was born in what is now Cambridgeboro, this county, April 2, 1820, son of Bailey and Mary (Humes) Fullerton, and grandson of Thomas Fullerton, who settled in that township in 1797. The father of our subject was married in 1803, and the same year located where Cambridgeboro now stands, and here he resided until his death. He died February 25, 1854, at the age of 74. He was parent of 10 children: James, deceased; Bailey K.; Lettie, deceased; John H., deceased; Andrew J.; Polly, deceased; David L.; Joshua, deceased; Samuel, deceased; and Elizabeth. Our subject was married March 18, 1847, to Elizabeth Stokes, of Venango Township, this county. By this union were 12 children: Sarepta, wife of George France; Oscar, now in Iowa; Samuel; Harriet, wife of Alfred Shelhamer; Peirce, in Iowa; Mary, wife of John Peters; Wheeler, deceased; Edie, deceased; Loren K., in Iowa; Jennie, wife of Almer Parker; Kerney and Kate. Mrs. DL Fullerton was a daughter of John and Margaret (Peters) Stokes, who settled in Venango Township, this county, in 1804, coming from Union County, Penn. John Stokes, a son of George Stokes, had 12 children: George, Jacob, deceased; John; Polly, deceased; Katherine, deceased; Margaret, Samuel, Susan, William, Catherine E., David H. and Augustus W. (deceased). Mr. Stokes died June 10, 1861, aged 81 years; his widow died January 27, 1876, in her 96th year. Our subject has resided in this township since his marriage, with the exception of one year that he lived in Cambridge. He has held various offices in his township. In politics is a Democrat. Both he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church." >Hello fellow Stoke/Stokes researchers. Enclosed is a census index >breakdown for the family in PA.
