DAVID P. FULKERSON [p. 13] is a member of the firm of Wick & Fulkerson, proprietors of the leading restaurant of New Castle, located at No. 10 Apple Alley. He was born in New Castle July 8, 1869, and is a son of J. Smith and Jennett (Pattison) Fulkerson, grandson of William and Margaret (Tidball) Fulkerson, and a great- grandson of John and Mary (Alky) Fulkerson. John Fulkerson was descended from German forefathers, and we find him first as a resident of Virginia, living near Rappahannock, Fredericks County, where his son William, our subject's grandfather, was born. As he was neither a slave owner, nor a sympathizer in that practice which permitted the greatest inhumanities and outrages to be performed upon a down-trodden and enslaved race, he set out in 1810 with his wife, and traveled three hundred miles on horseback to New Castle, where he secured a farm of 200 acres, lying between the present farm of the Hon. Robert J. Fulkerson, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this work, and the city of New Castle. He then returned to Virginia, and with horses and wagons transported his personal effects and household furniture, and all the children but two, who chose to remain in Virginia. The farm was slightly improved, there being a small log-cabin and, a few acres cleared of the original timber land, which made a very fertile garden plot. So it was with comparatively little trouble, after reaching the destined spot, to install his family, and accustom himself to the strange surroundings; there he reared his family and with the assistance of his sons cleared the land. Both he and his good wife were over eighty years of age at their death. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and helped to construct the first religious edifice. There were eight children born to him, as follows: Lewis; John; Roger; James; Eliza, the wife of Thomas Gillespie; William; Richard; and Margaret, the wife of William Cox.

Mr. Fulkerson married, Oct. 13, 1892, Miss Anna Dean, daughter of Hanson Dean of Brighton, Pa., and has one child, Verna, born Oct. 19, 1895. Like every Fulkerson in the county, in his political views he countenances no candidate for public office who is not of the Republican complexion.
