The next summer he started horseback and rode back to Ohio, taught school another winter, sold his horse and footed it again to York. Right below where Kinsey Fulks lived stood a woods of virgin timber. When I visited him some time in the 90's he told me that in 1834 Benjamin G. Fulks and some others of the family were romping on a level place of ground adjacent to the woods.
