Biography
Benjamin was born in 1775 in New Jersey to Volkert Fulkerson and Sara Jennings.[1]
"FULKERSON, BENJAMIN, JOSIAH AND CHAPMAN, brothers, were originally from New Jersey, coming to Lansing soon after 1790. They came to Dryden in 1805, Benjamin purchasing in that year all of Lot 22 except the survey fifty acres and paying for it two thousand dollars. He bought fifty acres which is now included in the farm of J. H. George. On this he built a cabin, but soon after died. His wife, who was Sally Giles, survived him many years and was married to Simeon Van Nortwick, also an early pioneer. Benjamin and Sally Fulkerson had one son, Benjamin, Jr., and one daughter, Phoebe, who married Henry White, son of Daniel. Benjamin, Jr., married Emily Douglas, who is living with her daughter, Mrs. J. B. George, at the age of 86."[2][3]
He passed away in 1807.
