Phillip was born between 1700 and 1705 (most likely 1705) and was most likely the first in his family to be born in New Jersey. He married a Grietje or Margrite (last name unknown) sometime prior to 1728. They had several children together, although there is some indication that there was a 2nd wife (Anatie) with his last child, Sara, in 1745. Phillip passed away after 1745, but before 1754.

Philip FULKERSON....b. 1705 in Somerset Co., NJ, m. Grietje/Margrite ______. In 1735 his name appeared (as "Philip Folkerse Jr.") on the tax list for the township of Franklin, with 25 acres and 12 cattle. He was taxed £1, 4s, 1d. There was possibly a 2nd Wife of Philip FULKERSON: at the 1745 baptism of Saerte FOLKERSON the parents were listed as Philip and Anatie.

Joseph FULKERSON....bpt. September 22, 1728 in Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ Dutch Reformed Church. A MONTAGNE family site, documenting the descendants of Jean Mousnier de LA MONTAGNE, also called Dr. Johannes de LA MONTAGNE, Huguenot physician of New Amsterdam and Vice-Director of New Netherland, states that Joseph married his great-great-granddaughter Hannah MONTANYE (AKA Hannah Montana?) who was born 31 Oct 1729 in Pluckemin, Somerset Co., New Jersey. The site hints that they may have moved to Loudoun Co., Virginia. The will of Hannah's father, Ide de LA MONTANYE of Bridgewater, Somerset County, N.J. [742R, New Jersey State Archives] was written 26 Aug 1779 and stated: "I give and Bequeath unto My Daughter Hannah, the wife of Joseph Folkertson, the Sum of fifteen Pounds, to be Paid after the Decease of my Self and my said Wife, as a legacy out of my Landed Estates To be Rendered and Paid By my Son Edward." Joseph had at least one reported child: Letitia FULKERSON....born about 1760, m. Daniel PALMER of New Jersey, moved to Loudon Co., VA and had six children, of whom one is known: Thomas L. PALMER....28 Feb 1797-after 1883, b. in Loudon Co., VA, served in the War of 1812, then moved to Kentucky where he married Abigail STIPP (1799-1876), on 6 Apr 1824. In 1826 they were among the early pioneers of Lawrence Co., Indiana. They moved to Illinois a few years later, but returned to Lawrence Co. in 1835, where they farmed on 280 acres. Their story was told in the "History of Lawrence, Orange and Washington Co.'s, Indiana" [Goodspeed Bros. and Co., 1884]:

THOMAS L. PALMER, one of the oldest men in Lawrence county, as well as one of the county's earliest pioneers, was born February 28, 1797, in Loudoun County, Va., and is one in a family of six children born to Daniel and Letitia (Fulkerson) Palmer, who were natives of New Jersey. During the war of 1812 he served his country faithfully under the command of Col. Reno, and a few years after its close moved to Kentucky where he married Miss Abigail Stipp, April 6, 1824. In 1826 he settled in Shawswick Township, Lawrence Co., Ind., but a few years later moved to Illinois and from there in 1835 returned to Lawrence County and settled permanently in Pleasant Run Township, which has since been his home. Mrs. Palmer was born December 10, 1799, and by Mr. Palmer became the mother of six children, named: Amanda, Rebecca, Letitia, James Wood, John and Catharine. She died a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, August 19, 1876. Mr. Palmer by an upright life has made numerous warm friends and but few enemies; he has always followed agricultural pursuits and is the owner of a good farm of 280 acres.

Amanda PALMER Rebecca PALMER Letitia PALMER James Wood PALMER John PALMER Catharine PALMER Elisabet FULKERSON....b. April 09, 1732 in Raritan, Somerset Co., NJ First Reformed Church Philip FULKERSON....b. October 06, 1734 in Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ Dutch Reformed Church. His spouse is unknown. The Hillsboro Reformed Dutch Church at Millstone, Somerset Co., NJ, has a 17 May 1775 baptism listing for "Folkerson, Fillip and Maria - Maria" -- with no witnesses reported and no clear indication if this was the same Philip. Benjamin FULKERSON....bapt. 11 Nov 1753 at the Cranbury Presbyterian Church, Somerset Co., NJ, listed as the son of "Philip Fulkert" No mother or witnesses recorded. Benjamin appeared on the 1778 tax rolls as living at Bedminster in Somerset Co., NJ. NOTE: It isn't absolutely certain that Benjamin was the son of this Philip. Other genealogies give him a mother Ann Fulkerson and siblings who were the children of Ann, which would have placed him with a different Philip and doesn't match any known baptism records - although they maintain his preceding 3 ancestors were all Philips, which doesn't fit except here.

Benjamin reportedly died at age 44 in 1797 in Loudoun Co., Virginia. He became the progenitor of a large Ohio branch. Thus his descendants are listed on the Ohio Fulkersons page. Volkert FULKERSON....bapt. September 16, 1739 at the Raritan, Somerset Co., NJ, First Reformed Church: "Volkerse, Philipus and wife, Margrita - Volkert." Volkert d. in 1804 in Cayuga Co., NY, leaving a will that named his children. He m. (1st) Sara Ann JENNINGS, with whom he had 3 children in the 1770's, and m. (2nd) Sarah SHELLENGER in early 1780.
