Notes:

Witness: Solomon Fulp
Death notice from the 2-17-1876 "Peoples Press" (Salem, NC) 1851-1892 gives the following account of Peter's death. "Fulp, Peter, of Forsyth Co, the father of Joseph Fulp, burned to death, Feb. 11, 1876. Mr Fulp was very feable, upwards of 80 yrs of age, and in the habit of resting on a pallet near the fire, from choice. When the house he was in was discovered to be on fire, his son's family hastened to the rescue but on opening the door found the inside all ablaze; it was impossible to enter and Peter Fulp perished in the flames. It is supposed the fire communicated to the bed and the old man could not make his escape."
Note: Glenn McGee in discussion with Vestal Fulp said he had read that Peter burned to death when sparks from a train set his roof on fire. I must go with the death notice in Peoples Press.

Notes:

Richard Fulp's family group sheet for Peter Fulp shows b/d dates for Phebe as 1758-1840

Notes:

Georg Crafft Volp's 1754 Probate record in Germany shows that one son was Georg Crafft Volp who had gone to America. Our Georg Crafft Volp arrived in America in 1751 and eventually changed his name and his family's last name to George Fulp. His wife Maria Magdalina must have been known as Mary because that is how it is shown in George's Last will and Testament..

George married Maria Magdalena GULDIG in 1752. Maria (daughter of Georg GULDIG) was born about 1718 in Germany; died in abt. 1800 in Stokes County, NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
