The Warren Co., TN heads of family in 1840 Surname List from 1840 CensusOf Warren County list "Allen Jamison" on page 326. Also listed is a Samuel Fulks and a John Boyd living fairly clo se to one ano thers familyon page 326:
Male & Female Divisions
under 5; 5-10; 10-15; 15-20; 20-30; 30-40; 40-50; 50-60; 60-70;70-80; 80-90; 90-100 .
Samuel Fulks 0001 00001 Division of Samuel is 20-30
Allen Jamison 20001 10001 1-Slave Division of Allen is 20-30 years , 2 m 1 f children under 5.
This would make Samuel Fulks 20-30 years old & born between 1810-1820,i.e. abt 1815
But his wife is shown in same division and she is said to be born 1783.So this must be Samuel , Jr. b. abt 1810 and his wife Sarah Rebecca Bell.

Apparently Samuel & Levica's daughter Jane and her husband Erwin Nelson and their two children
live with them in 1850. This includes Erwin, Jona A, Levica,
The Rutherford Co. Historical Society publication says: "Samuel Fulkscame from Maryland an d settled behind Pilot Knob."
The 1850 census list Erwin Nelson (farmer) (26), Jane A. Nelson (25),Levica Nelson (3), Jame s S. Nelson (1) in the Samuel Fulks household.Jane A. was probably Samuel & Levica Fulks' dau ghter.

Subject: [PACE-L] Deed - William Pace to Jarratt - Rutherford TN
Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2002 13:18:39 EDT
Here is another Pace deed abstract from Rutherford Co.TN. (see below)William Pace sells 2 tra cts of land to David M. Jarratt. Comments aboutsome of the people mentioned in the deed: Joh n Earwood Jr. is possibly the John A. Yearwood who married, Naomi "Amy" Pace, the daughter of James Pace and Mary Ann Loving. Samuel Fulks is possibly the father ofJohn Fulks who marrie d Zany Pace, daughter of J ames Pace and Mary AnnLoving. According to the HISTORY OF GREEN E AND JERSEY COUNTIES,ILLINOIS, 1885, p.385, "History of Jersey County", John Fulks was the s onof Samuel Fulks and Levia Tennyson. Jo hn W. Conley is also possiblyrelated somehow to th e Paces or is just a good friend. James Pace Jr.(b.1811) lists John W. Connelly in the St. Ge orge Temple records andcalls him "friend". Also listed is the temple records is a MatildaConn elly, b. 1810, "friend". As always, more research is needed to verifythese identities. Thes e deeds I have been posting also show how closelyseveral families w ere involved with each ot her and that it is necessaryto learn about several families to fully understand the Pace fami ly. Thisdeed is also interesting to me as one of my ancestors, Martha Amelia Pearce, the grea t grandaughter of James Pace Jr.(b. 1811) and Mary AnnLoving, married William Albert McCullou gh in Utah, the great grandson ofthe Alexander McCullough mentioned in the deed. Morris H . G oodloe is ason-in-law of Alexander McCullough. It is very hard for me to stayfocused on o ne family in Rutherford county, TN - so many of my ancestorslived there.
