You have it right down to Joseph Fulks married to Susannah Aughenbaugh.Thomas, Joseph's younger brother was married to Susannah Aughenbaugh. They were living in Lawrence Co. Pa. close to her family before they came to Fayette or Shelby Co. Illinois.I think the reason they came out was that Susannah's 2 uncles and 1 aunt had received land as a results of War of 1812 service but congress didn't pass a law for their service until 1852. I have copies of these land patents, I think 2 were in Fayette Co.and 1 in Shelby Co, Illinois
Joseph Fulks married Esther McKinley and they did live in Medina Co. Ohio.
If your wife's family is from Thomas then that is my line.
