Volck/Fulk Family
Volck/Fulk Family
The Volck surname eventually becomes Fulk.
*Some Holder family materials gave her name as Anna Barbara, but we now think this is incorrect, and that it was actually Maria Barbara.
Andreas and Maria Margaretha were the only ones from this generation to move to NC. However, Wilhelm Volck, a son of Jacob Daniel, also moved to North Carolina and is the ancestor of many Fulk descendants there.

Children of Jacob Daniel Volck and Mary Dewees
Johannes Volck
Wilhelm Volck (1741-1815) m. Magdalena ??; moved to NC, had nine children

Children of Andreas Volck and Maria Margaretha Romig
Anna Maria Volck (1744-1801) m. Johann Krause (1743-1830)
unnamed infant (b. & d. 1746)
Christina Volck (1747-1800) m. Benjamin Leinbach (1746-ca. 1794)
Heinrich Volck (b. & d. 1749)
Anna Catharina Volck (1751-1814) m. Johann Jacob Spainhour (1750-1822)
Johann Adam Volck (1753-1829) m. Maria Sarah Moser (1755-ca. 1850)
Maria Magdalena Volck (1755-1849) m. Heinrich Arney (1755-1830), moved to Indiana
Johannes Volck (1758-ca. 1806) m. Anna Maria Hartmann (1763-?)
Maria Margaretha Volck (1760-1851) m. Isaac Pfaff (1755-1832)
Johanna Volck (1763-1814) m. Johann Jacob Volz (1753-?)
Andreas Volck (1765-1814) m. 1) Maria Magdalena Hauser (1766-1791), 2) Rebecca Laydon
unnamed infant (b. &. d. 1766)
Names and birthdates for children in this family come from several different sources and may not be correct. Based on known marriage dates, this order seems reasonable, but it is not certain, nor have we verified that all the children are theirs.
Most of the children in this family moved to Indiana and Illinois. Peter remained in NC, and appears in the 1850 Stokes Co. census, apparently a widower. Daniel and Frederick also remained in NC.
The possibility has been raised that "Nathaniel", about whom nothing else is known, is actually Daniel.

Children of Johannes Volck and Anna Maria Hartmann
Henry Volck (1786-?)
Anna Maria Volck (1788-?) m. William Denny, moved to Indiana
Anna Catherine Volck (Fulk) (1791-1865), m. John Helsabeck (1791-1847) (moved to Owen Co. Indiana. John died there, and Anna Catharine later moved to Iowa, where she died)
Maria Magdalena Volck (1793-?)
Johann Adam Volck (1795-1851) m. 1) Elizabeth Carmichael (1778-1835,IN) 2) Nancy Chelton (also moved to Owen Co. IN and purchased land in 1839. Later moved to Jasper County MO, where he died)
Johanna Volck (1800-?)
Jacob Volck (1803-?) probably the one who m. Rebecca Shore in 1826
Peter Volck (1806-?)
Previously we stated that Jacob married Tabitha Ashburn, and that Johannes and Anna Maria were also parents of Joseph Fulk who married Drucilla Ashburn, probably Tabitha's sister. We now think this is incorrect, and that those two men are the sons of Andreas Volck and Rebecca Laydon. Rebecca Fulk age 84 is living with Jacob and Tabitha in 1850 (Surry Co. NC census).

Most of this family moved to Indiana.

Children of Wilhelm and Magdalena Volck
Jacob Volck (1777-?)
George Volck (ca. 1780-?) probably m. Elizabeth _____
Johannes Volck (?-1782), died in childhood
probably Abraham Volck (1790-?) m. Sarah Martha Moser
There was one additional son and four daughters. Can anyone identify them for us?
----------
Probable children of Andreas Volck and Rebecca Laydon
Jacob L. Fulk (1792-before 1860) m. Tabitha Ashburn
Abraham Fulk (ca. 1794-?) m. Charlotte Cettle
Henry W. Fulk (1796-1883) m. Mary Magdalene Shore
Joseph Fulk (1798-?) m. Drucilla Ashburn
Rebecca Fulk (1800-?) maybe m. Benjamin Shore
Solomon Fulk (1802-?)
Possible children of Daniel Fulk and Peggy Boose
Adam Fulk (ca. 1812-aft. 1850)
Solomon Fulk (ca. 1813-aft. 1850)
Levi Fulk
maybe Augustus Daniel Fulk (ca. 1834-?) m. Legusta (or Augusta?) Hauser (1840-1925)
Daniel Fulk married Peggy Boose in 1811. The 1820 and 1830 census records suggest they had at least seven children (4 sons and 3 daughters) but we haven't been able to come up with a definitive list yet, and can't find the family in 1840. By 1850 all the children have left home. We are assuming Adam and Solomon are theirs based on proximity in 1850, however, and also have a personal communication stating that Levi is their child. Recent discussion among some Fulk researchers has led to the hypothesis that Augustus Daniel is theirs also, presumably one of the youngest children in the family.
In 1850 Augustus Daniel is living in the home of Solomon Spainhour.

Lucy and Rudy Susan are listed in baptismal records at Shiloh Lutheran church.
William is identified as son of Abraham and Charlotte from his marriage license.
----------
Children of Joseph Volck and Drucilla Ashburn
Andrew J. Fulk (1827-?) probably m. Julia A. Stone (1830-1892)
Christian P. Fulk (1830-?) probably m. Mary Ann Whitaker
John W. Fulk (1833-?)
A., C.E. and M. Ann are all daughters who appear in the 1880 census.
Can anyone tell us their full names?
The census takers had problems with this family, and we're not entirely sure we have the wife's name right either. In 1860 this couple appears as Augustin and Augusta, in 1870 they are BOTH named Augusta. The marriage bond reads Augustin Fulk and Legusta Hauser, and two Moravian records for their children call her Ligustus.
