James W. Fulgham, Texas Ranger James W. Fulgham was born about 1854, in Uvalde County, Texas, to Andrew James "Tom" Fulgham and Lucinda B. Holcomb. The Grandparents of James were Texas immigrants Ezekial Taylor Fulgham and Katherine M. Kirkwood. His Great-Grandparents were Rev. Micajah Fulgham and Rachel Taylor, who were both born in the Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and died in Lawrence County, Mississippi. James W. Fulgham married Mary Patsy Cunningham of Mississippi (1849 to 1926). The couple settled in Wise County, Texas, where they had children Walter Fulgham (1875 to 1878); Mary Lena Fulgham (1881 to 1939); James Murray Fulgham (1883 to 1958); Lizzie B. Fulgham (1888 to 1893); and Shellie B. Fulgham (1885 to 1979). These dates were all taken from headstones at the Chico, Little Norwood and Deep Creek cemeteries in Wise County, with the exception of James W. Fulgham who lies in an unmarked grave in the family plot in Chico. According to records from the Texas State Archives and Library, James W. Fulgham is recorded as having been a Texas Ranger in the Frontier Battalion from 1892 until at least 1896. Additional research of archive, Texas Ranger records and newspaper records by former Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Mike Cox and I indicate Fulgham was a Texas Ranger into the early 1900s. Archives records indicate that James Fulgham was mustered into Company D, Frontier Battalion, under the command of Captain John R. Hughes, on December 14, 1892. Fulgham served under Captain Frank Jones in 1893. Fulgham then served under Captain Hughes again in 1894, 1895, and 1896. Records indicate that Fulgham served throughout much West Texas to include Pecos, Reeves and El Paso counties. Records indicate that Fulgham was involved in cases involving the famous Judge Roy Bean and an illegal fight that he had arranged on the Rio Grande River; and the apprehension of alleged killer Victor Ochoa in 1894. There is at least one documented gunfight, in 1893, in which Fulgham shot and killed and unidentified cowboy that pulled his revolver on Fulgham and a Reeves County Deputy Sheriff. I have also found a record in the Arizona Genealogical Abstracts indicating the Arizona Republican newspaper reported, on December 7, 1915, that James Fulgham presented requisition papers for the return of kidnapper J. G. Adams from Cochise County, Arizona, to El Paso, Texas. NOTE: I have already posted Mike Cox's article "Surly Stranger" about the shootout involving Fulgham. I will soon be posting information on Fulgham and the capture and recapture of outlaw Victor Ochoa. Mike Cox had gathered the information for his book "Texas Ranger Tales," Republic of Texas Press, 1997. I am also going to obtain some more research from the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco, Texas, to do further posts of his exploits to include the information on his interaction with Judge Roy Bean.

LaDarla and Group, We have had a wonderful response to our Genealogy Workshop for September 11th, 2004. As of yet we have not even advertised it in the newspaper. It has been so well received that we have almost filled the 25 participants for which we had planned. There are only 3 more openings. We will continue taking names and if we have enough interest in a second class we will plan on another one a little later in the Fall. We also will keep the top 3 or 4 as alternates in case someone should not be able to attend. Ronald Womack, Instructor Genealogy Workshop carwom@ntws.net Wise County Historical Society, Inc. P.O. Box 427 Decatur, Texas 76234 wisemuseum@ntws.net

I have to apologize to anyone who has sent anything to the Wise County Heritage Museum the last few days for some reason we are not getting our mail. I have been in touch with them and am planning to take the computer up there tomorrow and show them what it is doing. According to our email box we have over 200 emails. However, It will not deliver them to us. What it does I delete because it is spam. It then adds it back to our box. We are getting from 3 to 6 duplicates of everything, bad part so far as only been spam. If you would send it to my home email address until I get this problem resolved I will take it to the Museum. carwom@ntws.net Again I apologize for any inconvinence.

Hello, I have some scanned pictures and some that were e-mailed from family members of some of the families from Wise Co. Is there someone I can e-mail or mail them too? So these pictures can become part of the Wise Co. History. Thank you, Donna Ross

Hi Joseph, I have a question about the Hughes. Was one of them a Sheriff? Or a lawman? I have the name written down somewhere in my notes. I have asked another member of my McDonald/Hughes family, but they didn't know. Thank you for your help, Donna Ross

Please put my name on your list for the workshop on 11 Sept. Thanks Craft Largent GClargent@aol.com.
