You can find all the information I have on the Fulks on my website at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mysong It is my understanding from research in that area that the Senado were an aboriginal group. What that means is that they were the original group in the area and were not part of any later group like the Shawnee. Perhaps the Senado and Shawnee had common ties but from what I have read the Senado were there way before any group calling themselves Shawnee were around. As with any aboriginal group, they were either extinguished or assimilated into other groups. It looks like a little bit of both went on with the Senado. I'm always glad to help when I can. I haven't looked at this line for a few years but am currently working on my Firestone line and they have a branch with many descendants in the same area of Virginia as the Fulks so I am fairly well versed in the history of the Rockingham/Roanoke area and that of eastern Tennessee. My wife descends from Jacob Fulk who with wife Margaret Disponnet, moved to Licking Co., OH. from Rockingham Co., VA around 1800. Jacob was the son of John Fulk and Eva Beeler, grandson of John Fulk and great grandson of Mathew Fulk and the Senado Indian maiden. As I said this is not an active pursuit of mine and my wife is not clamoring for me to push it any further, she's not a genealogy buff like I am and could care less about her ancestors. This is more for my son so he knows where he came from. I am interested if someone finds the parents of Mathew and Ludwig and any other siblings they may have had but not in pursuing the descendants of said siblings. I've got enough going on with my own lines. Good luck and let me know if you find anything pushing the line back a few generations.
