Hello Everyone, For those that are interested in DNA testing, the first leg of the Fulgham/Fulghum FamilyTreeDNA Project has proven a success. Leslie Leo Fulgham and I had an exact match. Our most recent common ancestor is Captain Anthony Fulgham of the Isle of Wight County, pre-1640. This is eleven generations back. I descended through Captain Anthony Fulgham's son Michael and Leslie descended through Captain Fulgham's son John. This is important for several reasons, one is that it ties the Fulghum and Fulgham lines together and the other is that it links the two known branches of the Fulghum/Fulghams in Texas together. The families followed two seperate migration patterns to the state. After leaving the Isle of Wight County, Virginia, my family migration pattern was to Dobbs County, North Carolina; Williamson County, Tennessee; Hardeman County, Tennessee; and finally to Nacogdoches County, Texas in 1839. Leslie's branch left the Isle of Wight County, Virginia, progressing to South! Carolina; Georgia; Mississippi; and finally to Tyler, Texas, in 1839 or 1840. These two branches of the family had members that fought together in General Hiram Granbury's Texas Brigade during the Civil War. Hopefully, in the future, we will get more volunteers for this project. It would be nice to get others to join the project to definetly prove our links through each of the Children of Captain Anthony Fulgham. Eventually we might convince a Foljambe to also joint this project so we can tie in the oldest link in our family to the Nottinghamshire area of the UK.
