Descendants of Richard Foulke

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  RICHARD1 FOULKE was born in England, and died Abt. 1712 in Chowan County, North Carolina.  He married ELIZABETH UNKNOWN. 

 

Notes for RICHARD FOULKE:

A Richard Foulk arrived by ship at Yorktown VA in 1688. In 1704 a Richard Folk owned 100 acres of land in Nansemond Co., VA. A Richard Falk/Faulk owned land on the north side of the Meherrin River in Chowan Co NC between 1710 and 1720. His will is recorded in Chowan Co NC Will Book --- with wife Elizabeth and sons John, William, Richard Jr and Jonathan.

 

York County deeds, orders, wills etc. abstracted and compiled by John Frederick Dorman. In Volume 10 (1687-1691) Carlisle finds a reference to our Richard Foulke in York Co. Quote: "A certificate according to Act is granted to Capt. Francis Page for the importation of several persons: Willm. Barker, Ben.Lucas, Robt. Case, James Brown, Jane Palmer, Jane Pepper, Alice Cockin, Willm. Cockin, Nathll. Goldin, Phillis Turner, Mary Read, Mary Lowman, John Jones, Samll. Ward, Richd. Rogers, Robt.

Foulks, Jane Wharton, William Seaborne, Dennis Meckarte, John Hampton, Joseph Hill, Thomas Gooding, Ralph Duby, Jone Barker."

 

Richard Faulk paid tax on 100 acres of land in Nansemond Co, Va in 1704 and later moved to Chowan (Hertford) Co., NC., where he died about 1712/13.  This area, which probably is now Suffolk township, was settled primarily by French Huguenots.

Notes for JOHN SR. FAULK:

William and John Faulk purchased land south of the Tar River downstream from the present Rocky Mount NC in 1740.

 

1764 he purchased land on both sides of Little River about a mile above the point where today Iinterstate 95 crosses the Little River. He built a bridge across Little River known as Faulk's bridge, probably a toll bridge. It was still shown on the USGA map of 1904. A concrete bridge crosses the river at this point today but it appears that a bridge once existed just south of the concrete bridge. In 1769 he gave the land he owned north of Little River to his beloved son Thomas and in 1780 according to the Johnston County deed book index (the deed book is missing) gave the land south of the Little River to William Faulk. CBS THINKS this William Faulk is the same man who moved to the present Fair Bluff NC area about 1784. --CBS[Untitled tree for book.FTW]

Jonathan Faulk was a Loyalist soldier during the Revolution.  After the Revolutionary War South Carolina adopted the policy of forgiving all Loyalist who swore allegiance to the State of South Carolina and the new United States Government. The attitude of people in Edgefield County was unforgiving as many Loyalists were killed and their property confiscated. There is a long document in the Library of Congress in which many Loyalists in South Carolina made a claim through the English Government for compensation dues to actions of the Patriots. So Jonathan Faulk went to the north eastern part of South Carolina where he secured a land grant on the District of Georgetown on the northeast side of the Little Pee Dee River.

 

This land wasn't too far from his cousins Richard and Phillip Faulk who lived in Bladen (now Columbus Co NC) near the present town of Fair Bluff. One of Richard Faulk's deeds was witnessed by Jonathan Faulk . Living near Richard Faulk was a family of Tillmans and married Phoebe Tillman. Their son, John Tillman Faulk, was born in 1784 in North Carolina, so Phoebe must have decided to have her delivery near her parents rather in the swamps of the Little Pee Dee Rivervalley. The area where Jonathan Faulk lived was about as sorry as it comes so Jonathan must have been looking for a better place.

 

In 1806, Jonathan applied for a passport in Wilkinson Co. Georgia. In those days, you had to get a passport to travel between states.  Why did Jonathan decide to leave Wilkinson County? The answer lies in his son John Tillman Faulk. On 1 September 1805 John Tillman Faulk shot and killed Mary Horn in Montgomery County Georgia. The warrant against John Tillman Faulk was sworn to by Wilson Horn, The Corner's jury found John Tillman Faulk "did kill the said Mary Horn". But in some way John Tillman Faulk was aquitted by the court. John Tillman Faulk had been a school teacher in Montgomery County, but it must have been time for him to leave.

 

So the Jonathan Faulk family went through the Creek Indian nation to Natchez Mississippi and west to Jonesville. Jonathan and family, including John Tillman Faulk who was now married to a fourteen year old Martin girl from Natchez, settled on land one- and-three-tenths miles south of Troyville (now Jonesville) LA, on the west bank of the Black River.  John Faulk owned a plantation there known as Llamanda Plantation.   

 

Jonathan Faulk died in 1811 and was buried in a family cemetery.  His estate was administerd by John Dyson and John T. Faulk.

 AN OVERVEW OF JOHN TILLMAN FAULK

 

In my (Charles B. Schweizer) (CBS) opinion John Tillman Faulk was born 26 December 1784 in then Bladen now Columbus County NC near present town of Fair Bluffs. Other records indicate he was born in 1782 and 1785 but this is not unusual, people didn't remember. He was probably born at his materal grandparents home where he could receive medical care. We next find him charged with murder in Montgomery Co GA where he was acquitted in October 1805.

 

Considering the evidence (see below) his acquittal is a miracle. In the trial John Tillman Faulk was listed as a Schoolmaster so he must have received a good education as he grew to manhood. The following year, 1806, his father Jonathan Faulk living in nearby Wilkinson County GA applied for a passport to travel through the Creek Indian Nation . The application states the witnesses knew Jonathan Faulk going on two years which means he must have arrved about 1804.

In 1807 John Tillman married Elizabeth Martin, a fourteen year old girl, in Natchez. He was twenty three years old but the marriage was a success. About 1810 Jonathan Faulk and John Tillman Faulk settled on a plantation on the west bank of the Black River about a mile south of present Jonesville LA. John Tillman Faulk engaged in making salt from the Sabine River. On one of his trips to market, a robber gang on the Black River extracted a toll on his load of salt.

 

John Tillman Faulk enlisted in the Louisiana Militia for the War of 1812 and was one of twelve men wounded in the Battle of New Orleans. For this he drew a pension the rest of his life and it probably helped him financially.

 

In 1816 he moved up the Black and Ouachita River to buy land south of present Monroe LA. He owned quite a bit of land before he died in 1871. He is buried in the Faulk family cemetery at Logtown also known as Fondale where he lived. He had four wives and fourteen children. His last wife was Kesiah Faulk daughter of 'Black' James Faulk and Elender Penelope Shepherd 'Nellie', a widow of Francis S Howard, and his fourth cousin. He and his descendants have always been active members of the Methodist Church.

 

VETERAN OF THE WAR OF 1812

 

During the War of 1812 and Louisiana threatened by a British Invasionin late 1814, John T. Faulk became part of Declouet's Regiment, Louisiana Militia in Catahoula Parish as a private in Captain R.L. Sackett's Co., 15th Reginemt. The company made it to the Louisiana capital in time to participate in the famed battle of New Orleans. Faulk was wounded by a gun shot through the left thigh and was discharged 3 Feb 1815. By the Louisiana Legislative act of 7 Jan.1819, he received a pension of $8.00 per month. Later with the passage of several Federal Statutes awarding pension and bounty lands for veterans of US military service, he applied for his rights. With his application papers, he included an affidavit from fellow soldier John Carroll who stated that their unit was marched below New Orleans near English Turn on the Mississippi River in October and remained there until 24 Dec. 1814. A large portion of the British army landed opposite them on the east side. A party of British took up quarters in a big frame house on the night of 6 Jan. 1815. Capt. Sackett called for 25 men to cross the river and give a fight to the enemy in the house. John T. Faulk and John Carroll were two of the 25 volunteers.

 

Faulk was sent to spy out the position. When he reported, he was sent a second time with orders to shoot a supposed sentinel. As he tried to comply with the order, be was seen by his enemy and got himself shot. He was so near the enemy fire his clothes caught fire from ensuring shots exchanged between friend and foe. One source stated that John Carroll carried Faulk to safety. However, another source noted that Faulk was wounded during the nightbattle of 28 Dec. 1814 and was found by John Kitterlin who "took himup in his arms" (Faulk being a small man) and removed him within the lines in safely. Mr. Faulk never knew his preserver until 1842, wherein Mr. Ketterlin stopped at his house on his way up (from Catahoula Parish) to the land office at Monroe to secure his land. While there, upon talking over past events and recurring to the battle of New Orleans, the discovery was made of their former opportune meeting, when their delight was mutual, and both brave men clasped hands in life-long friendship.

 

It was later told that Faulk's wound in the left thigh from a musketball was so large that a surgeon drew a silk handkerchief through it to clean out the powder. From that injury, he was crippled for the remainder of his life. He as all others of his unit was honorably discharged on orders of General Andrew Jackson at their encampment below New Orleans.

 

He is listed in Ancestory.com's Military Records: War of 1812 Muster Rolls as a Private in Declouet's Regiment, Louisian Militia. He is also listed in the Alphabetical Index to Veterans of the War of 1812 by the Louisiana Genealogical and Historical Society. There is another listing in the War of 1812 Muster Rolls for a Private George Faulk from Baker's Regiment of Louisiana Militia. George Faulk was a son of Luke Faulk, a line that moved from Pensacola Florida to southwest Louisiana and whose relationship to the Monroe Faulks is unkown.

LETTER OF JOHN TILLMAN FAULK TO WIFE KESIAH FAULK

 

Kesiah Faulk complained about the cllimate at Logtown so she took her children and went to visit her sister, Lucretia Faulk wife of William Kendrick Faulk, in Athens Texas. She never returned to Ligtown and isburied in the same cemetery as Lucretia in Athens Texas. It is reported that this letter is mounted on parchment and its page 2 cannot be xeroxed and has to be read through the back with a strong light.

 

They following is courtesy of Karen Everritt, West Monroe, Louisiana:

 

This is a copy of letter written by J. (John) T. Faulk: 'La. Ouachita 18th of November 1866..." Why this long silence between you and me wife and children? I feel this day quite well in health and I now see fit to tell you from whence our family sprang and of the stock of people from which we came. We came from Europe according to the words of our forefathers. In 1671, there was a province on the river Rhine, it lies between Germany and France; there was a large number of that province, that protested against the Roman Catholic order of religion who were called by way of reproach Hughenot Protestants."

 

"The Pope of Rome ordered them all to be exterminatd and on St.Bartholomews night, twelve thousand of the Protestant Hughenots were treacherously massacred and many more hunted up and tortured to death. All that refused to renounce the Protestant faith and return to the Romish mode of worship, were put to death. The persecution became so terrible against the Protestant Hughenots, that quite or nearly all were destroyed from the Rhine province. A number of hard battles were fought. Finally the Hughenots found their case hopeless and many of them fled to America to find a land of peace and quiet."

 

"The ship that brought them landed at Wilmington on the coast of North Carolina, which was then only a few houses, now a city of N.C. Well with that Ship's company, there were three brothers, names thus- James Faulk, Right Faulk, and Melzer Faulk. These three brothers all raised families and their familes, no doubt raised families. Now from these three brothers sprang a numerous number and have given the name to not a few. I have seen many of the names and all that I have seen, if he had been careful to inform himself all can trace their origin back to the Hughenot brothers. And now my boys you need not be ashamed of your origin. I am satisfied that all the Faulks now in America, sprang from one or the other of these three brothers. The record says that all of the Faulks who were in the Rhine province were put to death, but these three brothers: all for the sake of Protestant Christian faith. Mind you, these protestants were of the Lutheran faith. Luther was the first successful reformer in his time: and after the dark ages of the world."

 

"Now in conclusion, allow me to admonish and beg of you, to not fail to make sure work for the salvation of your souls. Pray earnestly to God to enlighten your understanding, read often the Holy Bible and testament. They will point you out the way to heaven. Read them to your mother, brother and sister, the same I say to all of you. Let us try to meet in heaven, Shall we know each in that happy place? Yes, surely we shall be made known to each other it would give me much delite to see you but if you will not come to see me we shall not meet in this world for I am too feebel to undertake the journey to you. Tell me, do you keep any or all of the balck people with you and if so on what terms do they stay with you? Do you give them a share of the crop or do you pay monthly wages to them? I say keep them if you can fairly. Tell me does your grandmother yet live and how is her health? Tell me of your Aunt Jane and hers, how they are doing? Tell of your Uncle Kendrick of him and his. Have you yet a school near you? /s/ J T Faulk To Keziah and I will fill this blank the second of Nov 1866. Thetwenty sixth of this month Jonathan is my birthday. I do wish you could be with me on the twenty sixth of this month to eat a birthday dinner with me. Can it be soe? Rite to me and let me know how you arfefaring and what you are doing and what your prospects are? Tell me what you intend to do. Tell me do you keep the mill and gin in working order or has it gone to decay? I hope not, I paid much money to William Faulk for it and the land. Take good care of the land and cause it to pay you well".

 

CBS Comment: Dispite what John Tillman Faulk wrote no one has been able to substantiate the story of the three Faulk brothers from the Rhineland, the area around Wilmington NC was a wilderness inhabited by indians and there is no Huguenot record of these three brothers. The Faulks in Athens Texas laughed at James Jonathan Faulk's book saying 'CousinJimmie' wanted very badly to be a member of the Huguenot Society but was unable to do so.

 

CBS Comment: The references listed under Jonathan Faulk are also applicable to John Tillman Faulk. References: Carol Ann Lane, 880 San Pedro Ave, Carol Gables FL 33156 wrote 24 Sep 1990, Your letter said that you had been to the old Faulk farm. Do you mean Belmont in Ouachita Parish? If you do, I have an old survey done by a DAR chapter in the area (the Logtown cemetery) of that cemetery. Many of those graves have been vandalized. The road is still in the same place, but many of the markers are no longer there, so the survey made by the DAR is quite valuable in my opinion. Buried there is John T Faulk. His tombstone reads 'Born in Bladen County, North Carolina December 26, 1784 - November 5 1871 died in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana'. Very truly yours, /s/ Carol Ann Lane

 

EXTRACT OF LETTER OF jOHN TILLMAN FAULK TO JAMES J FAULK

 

Logtown Post Office, Ouachita LA Sept 1 1867

 

"Mind this place is my residence and the same place that I have lived on for the last 33 years and the same place you and Alfred were born on. I suppose (Al)fred has to work now in the field, well his father worked in the field before he was born, yea and I lived better before I ever owned slaves. They have been a curse to the South."

OUACHITA PARISH LAND RECORDS

 

On Oct 23 and 30 OF 1967 Fannie Faulk Munholland and I, Nell HayesFaulk, researched the records in the Clerk of Court's office in Ouchita Parish. We found records that John T and Aquilla Faulk (brothers) bought 400 arpents (an arpent was a little less than an acre) of land lying on the east side of the Ouachita river on August 23, 1815 for the sum of $1,200 from Felicity, widow Lamy, now the wife of John R Dewitt.(Conveyance Book D page 151). I counted 87 tranactions made by John TFaulk.

 

JOHN TILLMAN FAULK HONORED

 

A talk given 9 April 1994 at gravemarking ceremony at Faulk Cenetery, Logtown, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, just south of Monroe, on the Ouchita River by Mrs Gene Flourney Stack. The ceremony honoring John Tillman Faulk, a War of 1812 veteran at the Battle of New Orleans, was sponsored by the Govenor William C C Claiborne Chapter, US Daughters of 1812. A bronze marker placed by John T Faulk's grave was unveiled and dedicated. Over 55 descendants and friends were present.

 

Excerpts from Mrs Stack's talk. My grandfather left it (letter of John T Faulk to son James Jonathan Faulk) in his papers and my Mother, Mary Faulk Flourney, inherited it and now it has come down to me, and I treasure it highly. I keep it in the old Faulk secretary along with the old Faulk books which have always been kept in this secretary. Of course many of them bear other names-- such as Rush, Williams, Turnley, Morris, those who have married into our branch of the Faulk family. Some of the books have old flowers pressed into them, old ribbons, newspaper clippings. There has been no room in the secretary for any other books for over 80 years so when I open the glass doors of the secretary I go into books that the Faulks have read for over 150 years. These would not be all of the Faulk books just the ones that our branch of the family has held onto and added to down through the generations.

 

A fourth source of information came from DeBow's Review, Vol 12 of 1852. This gives an account of John T Faulk as an early settler in Catahoula Parish and tells of his service in the War of 1812.  adapted from Descendents of Richard Faulk, by Richard Faulk.

According to Charles B. Schweizer, who is probably the primary Faulk family researcher, G.W.'s father, James Faulk, was killed in the Civil War.  G.E.,  went to Atlanta to sell newspapers to raise money for the family. He became a telegrapher and was stationmaster at Bay Minette, AL.

 

On March 25, 1875, G.W. married Delia E. Guy.  The marriage was performed by Edward Robinson, Minister of the Gospel.  (The transcription of the Baldwin County Marriages records incorrectly reads the handwritten record  as "Delia E. Grey".)   Their family grew to three soon after with the birth of their first son, Henry, in 1876.  Carrying on the Faulk family tradition of large families, Henry was soon followed by six other little Faulks. 

 

G.W. and Delia settled in Bay Minette, AL, where he worked first as a telegrapher and later as the stationmaster for the railroad.   Delia's brother, Ransom Guy, lived with them for a while. 

 

There was a building boom in the late 1800s, and lots of money to be made in the lumber and timber business.   The small town of Leakesville in Green County, Mississippi, had become a bustling rairoad hub.  G.W. left Delia to care for the children, and went there to set up a sawmill with his friends E.W. Christian from Virgnia and J.W. Craft.  E.W. and G.W. boarded at the home of _________ while the business became established.    On August 22, 1895, they incorporated as the Faulk-Craft Lumber Company, with $40,000 in capital stock.  Their charter was amended on January 29, 1900, changing the name to the Faulk-Christian Lumber Company.  By now they had built a standard guage, 30-lb. relay rail railroad to transport their lumber.  G.W. was the general manager of the company and E.W. was a salesman. 

 

Delia and the children joined G.W. in Leakesville, where they became quite prominent members of the community.  Their son, Everett, became the town doctor and his own son later filled the same position.  James Faulk, the third son of G.W. and Delia, owned the town newspaper until he moved to Meridian to become the managing editor of a publishing company there.  Unfortunately, their daughter, Ruby, died in Leakesville at the age of only 16.  That left Frances, known as Fannie, their only surviving daughter.

Frances Elizabeth Delia Faulk was born in Eliska, AL, formerly known as Mount Pleasant.   She moved with her family to Leakesville in Greene County, Mississippi sometime between 1900 and 1905.  Her first marriage, to Lyman R. Priester, took place in Leakesville on January 17, 1905.  They had two sons who died shortly after birth:  Joseph Everett Priester, who died at birth on May 27, 1907, and Princeton Priester, whose date of birth and death is unknown.  Joseph is buried in the Magnolia-McLeod Cemetery in Greene County.  The inscription on his tombstone reads:

 

"Joseph Everett Priester,  May 27 1907, son of Lyman R. Priester and Fanny Delia Priester, daughter of George W. Faulk and Christiann Odelia Faulk"

 

Frances Faulk's second marriage was to John Henry "Jack" Stewart, whom she met through her father.  Her father knew Jack  because he travelled as a salesman for his  father's lumber companies in Michigan.  Divorce was a scandal, especially in a religious family like the Faulks, and Frances listed herself as a widow on the 1910 Census for Gulfport.   Frances and Jack were married on June 23, 1910, according to the family Bible.  They bought a house at 133 King St. in  Jacksonville, FL, and began their family.  When Frances' father died in 1914, her mother, Delia, moved in with them.
