Biography

Captain Phillip Fulkerson served with 2nd Battalion, Somerset County Militia, New Jersey Militia during the American Revolution.

Phillip Fulkerson is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A043202.

Philip Fulkerson was born around the area of New Brunswick, New Jersey on 23 March, 1753 and was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church at New Brunswick on the same day (or two days later - see notes below). His parents were Fulkerd Fulkerson and Marie (Bogert) Fulkerson. Philip was the second born and second son in the family. His parents would go on to have a total of seven children: 5 sons and 2 daughters. Philip grew up in the New Brunswick area during the pre-Revolutionary era, and his family with their Dutch heritage were a minority in primarily English settled New Jersey. They were farmers, like most of the people in New Jersey.

As he was coming of age (around 1771), the Revolutionary War was already brewing. He was married to Elizabeth Bruner around 1773 and they had their first child (a daughter, Mary) in 1774, all before the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the onset of war. He was commissioned as a Captain in the 2nd Battalion of Colonel Quick's Regiment, Somerset Militia in 1775. He was in the Battle for New York (winter 1776-1777), where the Revolutionary Army ended up retreating from New York City, through New Jersey and all the way into Pennsylvania. He was captured by the British in 1777, and was a prisoner of war during September and October of that year. He may have been caught during the Battle of Brandywine in the area around Philadelphia. He must have been rescued or released, as there are further records showing his service in the Army between 1777 and 1780. His last pay was recorded on May 10, 1784.

On April 20, 1782, Philip was given a land grant for the western reaches of Virginia, which is now known as Jefferson County, Kentucky. He was there sometime between 1782 and 1792 (conflicting records make this difficult to determine). By 1803, they had sold that land and moved on to Nelson County, Kentucky. They sold this farm and moved to Ohio, Kentucky around 1807. Phillip made his will on 21 June 1813 in Ohio, Kentucky. It is believed that he died on 10 July 1813, and his will was proved in August of that year.

Phillip was born on 23 March 1753 in New Brunswick, Somerset, New Jersey Colony. He was the son of Fulkard Fulkerson and Maria Bogart.^[1]
