3. Henry William Fulks (1872-??)

Henry William Fulks, also known as William Henry, was born to Reuben Fulks and Sarah on June 7, 1871, in Strangecreek, Braxton County (according to his death certificate)

m. Lydia Downey August 4, 1892 in Calhoun County according to the marriage record I found here. The information provided states Lydia's parents are Alexander J. Downey and Sarah Jane Brannon. Her birth happened in May of 1873.

In the 1900 census, they are found in Otter, Clay, West Virginia. According to this record Lydia has born 4 children, only 3 surviving. At this time, W. H. is a Teamster.

1910 Census shows 3 more surviving children for a total of 6 living /7 total. It also shows that Henry's father has probably passed at this time, because his mother Sarah is living with him.

We find them in Calhoun County in 1920, living in the home of their oldest son, Sherman, who is unmarried. It appears Henry and Lydia have had 2 more daughters at this time.

Lydia died in 1927, Roane County, according to her death certificate, she died of accidental burns.

Birch District, Braxton County is where we find them in the 1930 census. Henry is a farmer, as is Joe.

In the 1940 census we find Henry living in the home of his second son, Dwight.
