Hello Everyone, I just joined the list, so I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Dan Fulghum and I administer the Fulgham Mailing List and Foljambe/Fulgham/Fulghum Message Boards at Rootsweb. I have been researching a Texas Ranger by the name of James W. Fulgham that was part of the Frontier Battalion in the 1890s and early 1900s. He was born about 1854 to Andrew J. Fulgham and Lucinda B. Holcombe in Uvalde, Texas. He married Mary Patsy (maiden name unknown) and they had three children in Wise County (at someplace called Deep Water or Deep Water Creek). The children were Lena M. Fulgham, James Murray Fulgham, and Walter Fulgham. James Fulgham is recorded as having died in Chico, in Wise County. Does anyone have any information on James Fulgham or his family? If anyone is interested, Mike Cox (former spokesman for the Department of Public Safety and Texas Ranger researcher) has a recent article he wrote based on a newspaper article in the 1890s concerning a shootout Fulgh! am had. Mike has given me permission to use the article if anyone is interested and this is okay with the list administrator. Reiterating what I said earlier, I would really appreciate information from anyone that might have information on this Fulgham family in Wise County.

Hi Dan, My name is Gerri Strange Kiffe. My great grandparents were Gus and Margaret "Maggie "Fulligim Pickett. When you mention the Texas Rangers, I know that my great-great grandfather George B. Pickett had something to do w/ The Texas Rangers. I think, Don't quote me that he passed a bill to start Texas Rangers or something of that sort. We are from Wise Co. Oak Grove community, although I only seen the old homestead when I was a small child and then from some great pictures Alton Cook took years later. My dad was raised in Alvord. His parents names were Ferrell & Barnetta "Pickett" Strange. I still have family in that area. Have just started on trying to do a family tree. Seems almost over whelming at times. Good luck w/ your search.

Hi, Richard... I have to chuckle with your note. Yes, in early searching (and taking spelling variations into account), the Fullingims have often run into the suggestion that Fulgham is a variation. However, it has been determined that Henry Fullingim (the core of the family, father of the group) was originally a Fillingim.. and that in itself was a distortion of Fillingham. We have worked back to the immigrant, Richard Fillingham of Maryland. Just as an aside (considering surnames and evolution thereof), we have had a number of cousins looking at Fillingham castle in Lincolnshire, England. We worked that lead too... only to find that the castle itself had been built some 100 years after our Richard immigrated, and that it was called such after the village, not the family. Wendy

We have the following Fulghum headstones in Wise County: We didn't find a headstone for James (brackets [ ] around the number). That information came from an earlier listing.

Good Evening Everyone, You are all wonderful. I never expected such a response. Sue and Meral, you delivered some wonderful information. The photos of the gravestones and Mary Patsy Fulgham's maiden names were great boosts to my research. I am also the assistant archivist for the Foljambe/Fulgham/Fulghum National Family Association. Any information I get will be incorporated into our database and family records. For those asking about the last name, the old world spelling is said to have been Foljambe pronounced the same as Fulgham (Fulljum). The link between Hercules Foljambe and his alleged son, (The first American in our line) Captain Anthony Fulgham, has never been proven. Captain Anthony Fulgham (first spelling recorded as Folliamb) arrived in the Isle of Wight County, Virginia, just prior to 1640 with his wife Martha. They had children Nicholas, John, Anthony, Michael and Mary. It was a branch of Michael's line that settled in Wayne County, North Carolina, and began using the spe! lling "Fulghum." We have genetically linked the Fulgham and Fulghum lines through my DNA project at FamilyTreeDNA in Houston. Dan Fulghum Conroe, Texas

Hello Dan, Welcome to the list. In the book BIRTH RECORDS WISE COUNTY, TEXAS 1864-1902 by Julian G Allen, 1907, he lists one Fulghum birth. James Murray FULGHUM born 10/15/1883 male, Aurora (18478), father James William FULGHUM (MS), mother Mary Patsy CUNNINGHAM (MS). Not all births are listed in the book unfortunately. Looks like you now have Mary Patsy's maiden name. Good luck.
