In about 1839, Arthur moved his family to Nacogdoches County, Republic of Texas, where he was most probably the first in our family to settle there.

After completing the three year residency requirement, he received the unconditional certificate on October 3, 1842. (Personal Note: I obtained a copy of the original land grant of 640 to Arthur from the Texas Land Office in Austin. The location of the gran! t was in the outskirts of present day Lufkin, Texas, on what was then Peach Creek.) Arthur died on November 30, 1845. (December 18, 1846, was the date of inventory of his estate.) Arthur's daughter,Adeline Fulghum Crain wrote a letter to her brother William in Tennessee, dated February 8, 1852.

Hello Everyone, Tonight I am posting on William McKinnie Wilson Fulghum, son of Arthur and Alice McKinnie Fulghum. #5 William McKinnie Wilson "Squire Billy" Fulghum was born February 14, 1801, in Wayne County, North Carolina, and died October 19, 1877, in Tennessee. He married Marcella Elizabeth Seat on March 13, 1828. Marcella died on a trip to visit William McKinnie Wilson Fulghum's relatives in Nacogdoches County, Texas, in 1852.

Arthur "Gus" Augustus Fulghum was born January 26, 1831 and was married to his cousin, Sarah Jane Watkins, about 1856. (Note: We believe this is the Arthur Fulghum referenced in the book "Company Ayhtch".) Arthur's second wife was Valarie Wright Gilchrist. Civil War records indicate that Arthur was a private with Russell's 20th Tennessee Cavalry, CSA, Company D. Records indicate that while serving with the Second Division of Nathan Bedford Forrest's Cavalry, he was killed at the battle of Harrisburg, Mississippi, between July 13 and 15, 1864. C.

He was listed as wounded at Shiloh and was allowed to travel home to recover from wounds. "Emery" returned to his unit and was captured along with brother, Julius E. Fulghum, on November 25, 1863, at the Battle of Missionary Ridge. "Emery" and Julius spent 18 months in Rock Island POW camp in Rock Island, Illinois.

Julius transfered to be with his brothers the next year. Records indicate he joined the 47th Tennessee Infantry, company F, on June 13, 1862. A pension application, dated December 13, 1896, indicates he once received a glancing blow of grapeshot on the left cheek.
