President'sMessageFulgham/um’s arrive for Gold Rush 153 years late!

Yep, pardners, 85 of the FFFA (Fulgham-Fulghum Family Association) came to Sacramento, the gateway to theMother Lode, to find, not fortune, but family fun, fellowship and some frivolity. As you can see by the group photoelsewhere in the news letter we are numerous and good looking.

As the family began to assemble onFriday evening for the traditional President’s Reception, it was obvious fromthe hugs and kisses, and lively chatter that we all enjoy seeing one another. I can’t believe it has been eleven years sincemy sister Gail, I, and our families, attended our first reunion. Wehave done somuchand enjoyed you all over the years.

Also onFriday,CousinGrant Fulghamset up his data base program and was able to do some tracking for cousinsseeking connections.

Saturday morning, Grant did a superb job of giving us the histories of some of the cousins who made it toCalifornia muchcloser to the 1849Gold Rush. The California Fulgham/ums were delighted to learn more of their historyand, after Grant’s presentation, they shared some of their personal stories of the early settlers.

Since Sacramento is the cross roads of the Southern Pacific, UnionPacific,Western Pacific railroads and was thestarting point for the transcontinental railroad, it was only fitting that 50 of the group take a ride on a steam railroad.Saturday afternoon was typical Sacramento in June, HOT, but we like to say it is a “dry” hot. I believe a good time washadby all, and there was plenty of cold soda and ice cream available after the trip.

Saturday evening everyone gathered in the courtyard of the hotel for anofficial reunion group photo. The youngphotographer learned the meaning of the expression “difficult asherding cats”, but Peggy and Janie stepped in and got thegroup organized for the famous photo.

Keeping with the California theme we celebrated our role as a key member of the Pacific Rim nations with asumptuous Polynesian Luau. Plates were filled and folks had just begun to eat when drums began to sound and thebeautiful “Aloha Dancers” came swaying into the room. The dancers were stunning in their many authentic costumes andfantastic music. Before the evening was over many of the cousins had joined the dancers to learn how to “bounce thecoconut”! The leader of the dance troop had abeautiful singing voice and sang many requests from the floor. One of thevery accomplished dancers was our CousinBlaise Lovell. What atalented bunchweFulgham/ums are!

Sunday morning, the family association held its business meetingand we voted unanimously to meet next year inNew Iberia Louisiana. Vice President Jim Fulgham is planning on the whole bunch of us being there in 2003. Let’s notdisappoint him.

I ampleased to report that the Sunday service was leadby my son Jeff, as recent seminary graduate, andmy sisterKeylandTennyson who provide the music. PeggyWood acted assong leader.

My thanks to my sister Gail Lovell who hosted the dancers on Saturday night and worked with me to make thereunion a success. It is with some satisfaction that we note that forty-two of those in attendance in Sacramento had neverbeen to areunionbefore. Weare certainly looking forward to seeing them in Louisiana next year.

EULOGY Frances Schmidt FulghumWe learned only last week of the death of Frances Schmidt Fulghumwhich occurred on May 23,

2002. Shewas the mother of Newsletter Editor Robert, former President Peter, daughter Frances Barton,and son, James Hooks Fulghum, Jr.

Frances was the widow of the late James Hooks Fulghum, Sr., a special member of theFulghamlFulghum Family. He was a Georgia native who settled in Roanoke, Virginia. He was asalesman and, in his travels, he researched the family by visiting Fulghams/Fulghums in every town inwhich he visited to work. '

James Hooks Fulghum put together an outstanding record of the FulghamlFulghum Family inseveral states. it was from one of his little booklets that many of us first learnedwho we were.

Frances, his widow, was a dedicated addition to the FulghamlFulghum Family. She certainlyreared a healthy list of leaders for the family in her children and she attended every reunion from thebeginning until her health prevented her attendance.

We will miss Frances Schmidt Fulghum, one of our "cousins" by marriage and a noble andgracious lady. James Edward Fulghum,VWlson, NC. at the 2002 Reunion

TRIBUTE James Elijah Fulghum,M.D.When he reached his fourth decade, like everyone else, he began to want to knowwho he was;

we meanwho he reallywas.Oh, he knew his parents and grandparents, but beyond that he really didn't know anything about

his family and his roots.He had grown up in his very early years in Franklin County, North Carolina in a little crossroads

community, Cedar Rock, and then in his t e n years in Richmond,Virginia.His father had died earty which complicated his search. Also, after college, medical school, and a

short private practice in eastem North Carolina, he had enlisted in the Navy. He was a Navy FlightSurgeon and was on the move. As a result, he was able to learn more about the family as a whole thanhe had about his own part of the family. He decided to write a book about the family and he did. Hewrote about the migration of the family from Denmark to France and then to England in 1066, and finallyto America in the early 1600's. But he still did not know who he was. After we started our Reunionseverybody started helping him to find out. It was finally discovered that he was descended from JacobBardin Fulghum, the next to the youngest son of Jacob Fulghum and Elizabeth Smith. Jacob BardinFulghum's wife was Elizabeth Lee, daughter of Moore Lee of Wake County, North Carolina and JacobBardin Fulghumand hiswife and family lived in upper Johnston County, North Carolina.

Well, he was like a kid with a new toy. Herewas a man who had traveled the world, who was agood researcher, who was a Navy Flight Surgeon, who had been in Wortd War II, who had been a topofficer in the Florida Public Health Service, and who had become a top expert on the family beginningduring the Danish\fiking Pilgrimages, the Norman Conquest of England, and the arrival on this continent.

. We were privileged to have him as a "Cousin", as a friend, and as the Historian and one of thefounders of the FulghamlFulghumFamily NationalAssociation and this annual reunion.

Dr. Jim died April 11, 2002, and with his death, we gained an immortal author of a major portionof our family history. In addition, those who were fortunate enough to know him lost a genuine comradein the lifetimeof our great and noble family.

James “Jim” Willis was the oldest son of John Thomas Fulgham,who was the oldest son ofPhilip Willis Fulgham, previously discussed. Through the union of Susie and Jim the two family lines reviewed in thisarticle merged. When Jim and Susie set up housekeeping, they invitedAlice to livewith them in Maben. Jim was a goodcarpenter and a passable farmer and he worked hard at both. He built tenant houses on handshake contracts and, whencarpentry work was slow, heworked his small farm.

Jim and Susie had their first child, Earl, on December 19, 1915. Their second child, Lee Alice, was born on July 29,1918. As with any extended family, all family members shared in running the household aswell astelling family storiesas they sat around the fireplace at night. Alice Haley was a good storyteller and she loved her grandchildren. As ithappened, Earlwas an avid listener, and he lovedCivil War stories. While Earl was still a child, hewould often sit on hisgrandmother’s lap and she would go back in her mind to the 1860’s and recount to hima little girl’s memory of the CivilWar, of true love, lost fortunes, buriedgold, and abigold house.

This church was the oneCaptain AnthonyFulgham's son, Michael, sold to the church vestrymen the acre of land onwhich a church stood (1)M r. Patrick Lynch, author of the Daily Press article,Age Debate, Experts dispute St. Luke's 1632 construction,

states, "Some experts say with certainty that the church was built in the last quarter of the 17'h century ." DaleUpton, Professor of Architecture at University of California - Berkeley, has written a book (2) on Virginia'sColonial Churches considered to be an authoritative source on the topic. Prof. Upton does not believe the 1632date to be the correct construction date for the existing church building. He believes the church is too large and istoo elaborate to have been built at this date. His book has additional information on St. Luke's Church (2).Others, including Gordon Lohr, of the Virginia Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, agree.

Lohr believes the church was completed in the 1680's.Lynch points out, "There are no records in Jamestown, or anywhere else, that refer to the construction of the

church. . . . " . St. Luke's Church was built with money from the British Crown, and Col. Joseph Bridger is oftengiven credit for overseeing its construction." Bridgerwould have beenonly 5 years old in 1632.Lynchadds, "A brick inscribedwith the date 1632was found during the 1887 restorationof the church." Could

this brick have originally come from the present buildingor did it come from a previous church at the site?Michael Fulghamdeeded the acre of land "whereon the Churchhouse now standeth" to the church vestrymen on

the 6"I of September 1683. (1) Was the building on Michael's land the present church or an earlier building? Wecan take a clue from the church at Jamestowne, the then capital of the colony. A temporary church was built veryearly in the history of Jamestown. Later at least two brick churches were built on the same site that are now nolonger standing. The foundations of these churches may be seen today within the current replica of the last churchbuilt at Jamestown. This suggests that earlier churches were often destroyed, or dismantled, and rebuilt over thefoundations of the earlier ones.Perhaps our alternate hypothesis should be that St. Luke's had a similar history. Perhaps the building on

Michael's landwas the present building but earlier church buildings previously had occupied the site. Helen King(3) cites a 1638deed proving there was 3 church in that location asearly as1638.

New information and new interpretation of the meaning of known facts require historians to continually rewrite history.
