Hi, I am researching the Pulliams of Elbert/Franklin co.,GA.
My gg-grandfather was Elisha Pullen from Wilkes Co., GA.The Pullen/Pulliam name is interchangeable.
I am aware of the marriage you mention between Benjamin & Jemima Fullilove Pulliam.I have come to the conclusion that James is probably not the correct name of Benjamin's father.I believe his father to be Joseph Pulliam originally from Louisa and Spotsylvania Co., VA.It is possible that his name was Joseph James or vice versa but I really don't have anything that would support that.
The reason I think Joseph was Benjamin's father was because Joseph's wife's name was Jerusha and I am told that she was a Fullilove. Plus, Benjamin named a daughter Jerusha. I have no documents to support whether her name was Fullilove. At this point it is all circumstantial.Joseph was probably born abt. 1727-1730.He was married to Jerusha by 1758, per land records in Louisa County.Does anyone have any documentation for this marriage?Thanks.
