  1. 14.  James Jackson "Jack" Fullen was born on 22 Feb 1874 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas (son of James C. Fullen and Catherine Elizabeth Parker); died on 25 Sep 1958 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Runnels Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas.

    Notes:

    His birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen bible, was as follows:

    Jack 1876

    The information on his draft registration for World War I shows that his full name was Jack John Fullen, and that his date of birth was February 22, 1874. He registered on September 12, 1918, and was shown as being married to Mrs. Nettie Fullen, and as a farmer in Freestone, Navarro County, Texas. His death certificate showed his DOB as February 22, 1875, and indicated his parents were Jim Fullen and Elizabeth Parker. He was listed a Farmer. The informant was Mrs. Gladys Atteberry, presumably his daughter.

    Ameth Carmichael shows that Jack FULLEN married (1) Nettie COOPER and that he married (2) Mary WATKINS.

    Ameth Carmicheal (Amy Fullen) notes that he married second a Mary WATKINS. I don't think this is correct. The Jack Fullen listed below was born circa 1859. The Jack Fullen listed in the census extracts above was born ca 1876. This is a significant age difference. Other sources show that the Jack Fullen below was actually Harrom Jackson Fullen, born in Comanche County (according to his family), or Tarrant County (according to his death certificate). Harrom Jackson Fullen and Mary Watkins were married ca 1874 or 1875 in Comanche or Coleman County, Texas.
