RECEIVED ON PROFESSION OF FAITH Date: 31 OCT 1842 Place:BETHLEHEM CHURCH, WARTHEN, GA, U.S.A
WASHINGTON CO., GA, James Fulghum, 17 Jan 1825 - 22 Dec 1863 James Fulghum was born in Wayne County North Carolina 17 January1825. He was the youngest son of Mathew Fulghum of WayneCounty, NC. This Matthew Fulghum was born in Wayne County, NC in 1779. He married Sarah Dickinson in 1799 in Wayne County, NorthCarolina. Mathew died in 1827 about a year after James was born. Sarah died in 1832. One of the daughters of this marriage was Elizabeth, born 1812 (she was about 20 when her mother, Sarah, died). This Elizabeth was the Elizabeth who moved to Georgia with James; thus, was the SISTER, not the Mother, of James. Also moving to Georgia from this family were John Glen Fulghum, William Fulghum, Matthew Fulghum, and Jacob Duggan Fulghum as well as James. The move probably occurred after Sarah's death. James was married to Jane Harrison Fulghum, born 20 September 1827 in Washington County, Georgia. In those days in rural Georgia, there often were not many eligible marriage partners. James and two of his brothers (John and Mathew) married three sisters of the Harrison family. James' wife, Jane, was a younger sister of John's wife, Elizabeth Duggan Harrison Fulghum (b. 1814). Mathew was married to a third Harrison sister,Penelope Harrison Fulghum (b. 1815). James served in the Army of the Confederate States of America. In 1863, he petitioned the Adjutant General for a discharge so that he might return to his farm and ten children, all in need. While awaiting word of his request for discharge, James contracted a virulent pneumonia. His wife, Jane, went to him in his sickness since care for sick soldiers was very poor. While caring for James, Jane contracted the pneumonia from him. Both died of this virulent pneumonia, James on 22 December 1863 and Jane on 14 January 1864, leaving the ten children orphaned. James was buried in a family cemetery in Washington County, Georgia. Jane was buried at Bethlehem Church. James obituary was written by Ivy W. Duggan, also a Civil War soldier, who later served as a legislator in the Georgia Legislature. Relatives and close friends raised the orphaned children. The Hooks family raised the ninth child, Charles Mallory Fulghum. Charles' named one of his sons James Hooks Fulghum. James Hooks Fulghum did extensive work on the Fulgham-Fulghum family genealogy and history in the 1950's and 1960's. Robert Schmidt Fulghum P. O.
