Notes:

Old Time Tazewell: George Phelps/Fultz Old Time Tazewell, p. 207:
George Fultz, oldest son of Felte Fultz, Sr., was a good, honest citizen. He owned and lived on a farm on Straight Creek about four miles distant from Tazewell. His wife was Miss Cyntha Lynch. She was a very handsome, pleasant lady. They raised a family, but as I am not personally acquainted with them, I can only call to mind two sons and one daughter. Esquire Nelson Fultz owns and lives on the old homestead of his father, and cares for his widowed mother. His wife was a daughter of Druery Herrell, Sr. They have raised a nice, respectable family. Esquire Fultz is a man of good reputation, and stands fair in the Missionary Baptist Church.

Record of age in bible

Michael FULP was born on Apr 17, 1755 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He moved to Surry Co., NC and later served in the military in 1776. He enlisted and served as a private with the North Carolina troops as follows: in 1776, four months in Captain William Dobson's Company in Colonel Joseph Williams' Regiment on an expedition against the Cherokee Indians; from July, 1781, three months in Captain David Humphreys' Company in Colonel James Martin's Regiment. He was allowed pension on his application executed March 15, 1833, at which time he was living in Stokes County, which was formerly a part of Surry County, North Carolina. His military papers state that he was the brother of soldier, Peter Fulp.

Michael Fulp appeared on the census in 1790 in Stokes County, North Carolina with four males under 16; five females and no slaves. He appeared on the census in 1800, 1810 and 1820, in Stokes County, North Carolina.

He was married to Phebe SCOTT on 20 Aug 1777 in Surry County, North Carolina. They were married at the home of Baptist Minister, Rev. William Hill, in Surry County, NC. Phebe SCOTT was born on 24 Oct 1758. She was allowed Michael's Rev. War Pension on 13 Dec 1838 in Stokes County, North Carolina.

Michael and Phebe Fulp had the following children:

George
Jeny (Jane)
Phebe
Sally
Solomon
Elizabeth
Peter
Mary (Polly)

Michael
Abigail
Valentine

Phebe Scott Fulp died in Aug 1840 in Stokes County, North Carolina. Michael Fulp died on 7 May 1836 in Stokes County, North Carolina. Like his father, George, Michael was a farmer. He owned about 200 acres of land when he died.
