    • Bio for Jerusha Fowlkes and Family Virginia, USA
      Birth: Jun. 26, 1747 Amelia County Virginia, USA
      Death: Jun. 28, 1789 Lunenburg County Virginia, USA

      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.
