Acquisition Information
Gift of the Fulgham-Fulghum Family National Association, Jacksonville, Florida.
The Fulgham-Fulghum Family National Association, Inc. was a non-profit educational, historical, and genealogical research
society incorporated in the State of Florida. Its mission was to study, research, interpret, and preserve the history and
achievements of the Foljambe/Fulgham/Fulghum and related families. The group promoted family interaction, stimulated interest
in family history by funding and maintaining active research programs, and supplied historical and genealogical information
on the family to interested persons. The Association also stimulated interest in family history and genealogy through reunions
with exhibits, programs, workshops, and lectures.
Records, 1977-2013, of the Fulgham-Fulghum Family National Association, including brochures and guidebooks, clippings, compilations,
correspondence, newsletters, obituaries, pedigrees and genealogical charts, photographs, as well as copies and transcriptions
of census records, land grants and patents, wills, and published sources. The records of the Association document the Foljambe
family in England and the descendants of Capt. Anthony Fulgham (d. 1669) of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, as well as the
allied families of Boykin, Dean, Johnson, Lea, Raiford, Sledge, Stokes, Todd, and Wheless.
The bulk of the collection is information collected and compiled by Dr. James Elijah Fulghum (1906-2002). The folders entitled
"Letters" and "Records" include correspondence he received from other family members with information on their particular
branch. This information was originally kept in numbered three-ring binders. Dr. Fulghum also compiled ten "books" entitled
"Fulghum Families," which contain individual sheets for family members throughout the United States. The sheets include the
individual's identification number, name, date/place of birth and death, marriage information, burial place, names of children,
and other biographical details. There is a full name index filed at the end of "Fulghum Families."
The collection also includes the Association's newsletter "Fulgham-Fulghum Family Facts," a photo album of a trip to England
by Dr. Fulghum, and the family Bibles of Charles Mallory Fulghum (1860-1921) and Jesse Fulghum (1779-1844).
