"Sally Ballard, the seventh child of Bland Ballard, married Benjamin Pulliam and had one son, Bland Ballard Pulliam, who, it might be well to state, was born January 24, 1798, and died October 6, 1853. Because of an alleged quarrel with his father, Bland Ballard Pulliam changed his name to Fulliam, and as a result of that change the descendants of Sally Ballard Pulliam bear the name Fulliam."
