Hi, I have been searching for links in my g.grandmother's mother's side of the family and I have come to a confusing break in my research. I have an old copy of the lineage of the Graham family that connects with mine. It is taken from a book written about Tennessee families but I don't have the name of it now.

In it the following people are listed:

Dosia Sharp m. Martin Luther Longmire Dosia's mother was Nancy"Nannie"White Nancy's father was Lee White and her mother was Margaret McNullen Margaret's parents were Jane Graham and John McNullen Now here's where I have a problem....Jane Graham's father is listed as Hugh Graham married to Katherine Ninny. Hugh's list of children on your GEDCOM doesn't have a Jane Graham. Hugh's parents are listed on your file and mine as Thomas and Jane MacBeth. The discrepency is with Hugh's supposed daughter Jane who married the McNullen. Can you help me sort this out? I don't have any dates beyond Dosia Sharp who was my g.grandmother.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Joe,
My g-g-g grandfather was born Feb. 2, 1831 in Claiborne County, TN. His name was Hughy Graham Yoakum. I'm researching his life, and I came across your website with the Descendents of Thomas Graham. It occurred to me that he was probably named for this man's son, Hughe Graham. Do you know of any family connections between the Hughe Graham's and the John Yoakum's (son of Isaac Yoakum and Mary Davis), or was Hughe a public figure? I also wonder if Hughe was pronounced how the Yoakums spelled it - Hughy.
Other names of John Yoakum's kids that have last names I've seen in Tennesee history (maybe you know more about) are Newton Henderson Y., Pryor Lee Y., Thomas Gaines Y. The girl's names are always pretty traditional.
Hughy's boys were John Henderson Y., Daniel Jackson Y., Jeff Davis Y. (an obvious one), Lafayette Patten Y., and Henry Clay Y. (another obvious one).
I'd love to know anything you know about Hughe Graham or any of these other namesakes. And I would be happy to share my Yoakum history with you when I get it all written down. Hughy Graham Yoakum was quite an interesting man.

Notes for William Houston FULKERSON:
Once when asked to write an account of his early life Col. William H. Fulkerson supplied the following:

I was born at Tazewell, East Tennessee, Sept. 9, 1834. I grew up healthy and strong as most country boys do. I worked in the fields and clearked in my Uncle William Houston's store. I went to school when there was any.

My first trip was from home to Nashville. My uncle, Col. William Houston, for whom I clearked, was a member of the Tennessee legislature. We went all the way in a carriage. There was no railroad then. Uncle went on in the stage as he could not wait for us. So my anut, and Miss Mary Graham, myself, our Negro coachman, and his siter (just tow women, a boy, and two slaves) constitutedour party. We went through all those mountains unmolested.

We spent the winter in Nashville. Uncle William took me out to "The Hermitage" to see General Andrew Jackson, who I thought was the greatest man on earth. But when I saw him with his hair standing up, I was scared. Then when he ran his hand through my hair and told me to grow up and be a good man like my uncle, I felt at ease at once.

When I was in my teens I was sent out collecting. The custom in those days was to credit a customer for a year, and then if he didn't pay, to take his note. Some paid promptly and some had to be sent for. Sending for a delinquent customer was called "putting a boy after him." We went to all their houses and saw what they had. Then we would buy a horse or cow and pay hom the difference, if any, in cash and return his note. If we could not collect, we would sell his note at a discount to anyone who would buy it.

In this way we got the farm stocked to all it would hold. By time to "drive south" we would go to farmers and but enough more to make a dorve. Some of the cattle came out of the canebrakes and were very wild. They were driven to Virginia and sold.

I bought hogs to drive to North and South Carolina. We drove them five or six miles a day, then fed them all the corn they would eat by morning. We drove them along the Nolichucky river, the road frequently crossing the river which gave the hogs plenty ofwater. After we passed Ashville and got into the mountains, we fed the hogs chesnuts at 2 shillings (33 1/3 cents) per bushel. Corn was selling at "2 shillings thripence" (37 1/2 cents).

My next trip was with my uncle to Philadelphia and Baltimore. We went by stage coach to Lynchburg, Va., thence to Richmond by canal boat, and thence to Philadelphia by the Camden and Amboy Railroad. It was my first ride on a train and came near being my last one. In those days the ends of the rails were not bolted together as they are today, but lapped beveled ends over each other and were spiked to the ties. When the end of a rail became loose it would sometimes run over the wheel instead of under, up through the floor, the front seat, and out at the top of the car. I had been sitting in the front seat and had just stepped into the aisle when a "snake's head" as they were called came up through the floor and seat I had been sitting in.

William Fulkerson, after working on his father's farm, clerking in his uncle's store, and attending the local school, Tazewell Academy, attended McMinn Academy. While there he received an appointment ot the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His teacher in mathematics at West Point was robert E. Lee, who was later to become the commanding geral of the Southern Army during the Civil War.

After two years at West point he resigned to go west and take part in putting down the Mormon Rebellion. The "mormon War" was of short duration. William Fulkersonloved the free life of the great outdoors and excitement of the West which was new and wild at that time. He secured employment with Russell, Majors, and Waddell, the famous freighting company at that time, driving a six-mule team in a wagon train between St. Joe and San Francisco.
