JERUSHA FOWLKES ELLINGTON
JERUSHA FOWLKES was born on 6-26-1747 @ Amelia Co., VA into a large, wealthy family. She died on 6-28-1789 @ Lunenburg Co., VA.

Her father was "John A. Fowlkes" (b: 1722 @ Hanover Co., VA). His Parents were 'Gabriel Fowlkes I & Elizabeth Fowlkes'. John A. Fowlkes died in 1799 @ 77 @ Nottoway Co., VA (which later became Amelia Co., VA). * Data from "Just Plain Fowlkes-Our Lineage from Gabriel I, 2nd Edition, 2006, by Stephen Fowlkes. " John's plantation was called ‘Hyde Park'; it had sheltered five generations of Fowlkes, one of the few to survive The Civil War."

Her mother was "Sarah Jennings" (1730-1782). Sarah's Parents were: "Col. William Henry Jennings" (1676-1775) who was born in England. He was the youngest son of 'Humphrey & Mary Milward Jennens' & was a British officer who came to Virginia to assist in the fight against the Indians & "Mary Jane 'Polly' Pulliam Jennings" (1704-1774) who was born @ Hanover Co., VA to 'James & Mary Pulliam'. "Mary Jane 'Polly' Pulliam" was thought to have "perhaps" been Col. William Henry Jennings' 2nd. wife because of the 28-year-age-difference between them. They married on 1-24-1724 @ Hanover Co., VA & had 10 Children.

Notes:

The earliest known Fowlkes ancestor, Gabriel Fowlkes, was born about 1690 in Wales and came to America from Denbigh County, Wales. By May 1721 he settled in St. John's Parish, King William (now Caroline) County, Virginia. He was living on land he acquired on the north side of the North Anna River near Hawkins Creek. He was a neighbor of Thomas Dickenson and his brothers, William Dickenson and Griffith Dickenson. Thomas Dickenson later bought land from Fowlkes.
Gabriel and his wife, whose name we do not know, had at least six children: Gabriel Jr., John, Joseph, Richard, Mary, and Sarah Fowlkes. Gabriel's name appeared in the 1756 accounts of the Thomas Partridge & Co. General Store in Hanover, across the North Anna. His purchases included six plates, a dish, two basins, some lace, and a prayer book. Gabriel died in Caroline County before 1775. In the early days of Amelia County, they pronounced “Fowlkes” as though it was “Fulks”. Many Virginians still pronounce it this way. The history of Gabriel's family has been created from a variety of sources. The incomplete records of Nottoway County limit the dependability of this history.
