Note

Note: Isaac TULLIS [son of "our" Isaac Tullis, 1802-1862,) a well known retired farmer of Bearcreek township, living on his well kept place on rural mail route No.1 out of Bryant, is a member of one of Jay county's pioneer families and has been a resident of this county all his life. Mr. TULLIS was born on a farm in Noble township on March 12, 1853, and is a son and the only surviving of the four children born to Jonathan and Jane (GRATTIS ) TULLIS, both of whom also were born in this county, their respective parents having been pioneers here. Jonathan TULLIS was born here in 1829, not long after his parents had come up here from Cincinnati [Hamilton Co.]and settled in this county, his father having entered from the Government a tract of 120 acres in Jay county about the time the county was organized. The GRATTIS family came here from Virginia from that section of the Old Dominion that later came to be set off as West Virginia, and both they and the TULLIS family were substantial pioneers of this section of Indiana. Isaac TULLIS's mother died when he was twelve years of age. He received Ins schooling in the old Hode log school house in Noble township. He early became engaged as a farm hand in the neighborhood, making his home at the various places of his employment during the time of his young manhood, and was thus engaged until his marriage, after which he rented a forty-acre farm in Noble township and there made his home for nine years, at the end of which time he bought a farm of forty-eight acres in Jackson township. On this latter place he made his home for twenty years, meantime increasing his acreage by the purchase of an adjoining tract of thirty acres, and then he sold that farm and bought eighty acres of the place on which he has since resided in Bearcreek township. When Mr. TULLIS bought this latter place there were but sixteen acres of it cleared and the task of clearing and improving the farm fell upon him, but he got the job done in good time and has long had a comfortable home there and a well improved farm plant, everything being kept up in "shipshape" fashion. As his affairs prospered on this farm Mr. TULLIS bought an adjoining tract of fifty-five acres and now has a good farm of 135 acres. Since 1914 he has been living practically retired from the active labors of the farm, the place being rented by his son. Charles TULLIS, who thus has the active management of the farm. Mr. TULLIS is a Democrat and he and his wife are members of the West Liberty Christian church. In November, 1875, Isaac TULLIS was united in marriage to Nancy J. FAIRCHILDS and to this union ten children have been born, all of whom are living save Mrs. Margaret LAYMAN,, who died at the age of thirty-five years. The other members of this family are Mrs. Mollie BOWLER, Mrs. Ida FLAUDING, Mrs. Anna BUTCHER, William, Henry and Charles TULLIS, Mrs. Essie MACKLIN and Mrs. Hattie GLENTZER. Mrs. TULLIS was born in the neighboring county of Adams and is a daughter of Smith and Margaret (JOHNSON) FAIRCHILDS. who had come over here into Indiana from Greenville, Ohio, [Darke Co.] and established their home in Adams county. Smith FAIRCHILDS was a substantial farmer and he and his wife were the parents of ten children, five of whom are living, Mrs. TULLIS having a brother, Griffith FAIRCHILDS, and three sisters, Rachel, Charity and Elizabeth.

Note: There are four different years stated for Issac's birth year:

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES April 25, 1803

PREMIER CEMETERY RECORDS April 25, 1801 (age 61yrs 15 days, died 11 May 1862...calculates to April 25, 1801)

FATHERS MILITARY RECORDS April 15, 1802

1860 Noble Twp., census June 22nd: Isaac 58 years old, which would mean he was born in 1802....

Also, according to statement by Margaret in BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES Isaac didn't come to Jay Co., until 1839. I believe this is a typo and that he did come in 1929...
