  Notes	His birth information, as shown in the scan of BIRTHS recorded in the Fullen bible, was as follows: James M 1881 On February 24, 1937, he applied for a Social Security card. The following is a transcription of this application: Form SS-5, Treasury Department, IRS U.S. Social Security Act Application for Account Number 458-01-1541 James Marion Fullen R.F.D. No 6 Grand Saline, Van Zandt County, Texas Employer Seby C. Miller Overton, Rusk County, Texas Age 55 DOB September 22nd, 1881 Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas Father Jim Fullen Mother Elizabeth Parker Male White Date Signed February 24th, 1937 Signed J. M. Fullen The Texas Death Index has his place of death as Dallas County, Texas. Tiffany Layman instead lists the location of his death as Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, Texas. Both show the date as September 4, 1951, shortly before his 50th birthday. (Research): Census Information: In 1910, there was a Marion Fullen, age 22, who was a carpenter and living as a boarder in the home of Lewis STONE of Tennessee in Angelina County, Texas. He was listed as married, even though no wife or children appeared to be in the home with him. This was PROBABLY a different Marion Fullen based on the age (which should have been around 28). 1920 Hopkins County, TEXAS Census Fullen, Marion J 38 Tx US US Farmer Fullen, Julia 28 Ar Ga Ga Fullen, Elsie 11 Ark Tx Ark Fullen, Clifton 9 Ok Tx Ark Fullen, Bessie May 6 Ark Tx Ark Fullen, Adella 2 Tx Tx Ark Fullen, Odelle 2 Tx Tx Ark Fullen, Otto 3/12 Tx Tx Ark 1930 Hopkins County, TEXAS Census Fullen, Marion 48 Tx Tx Al Farmer Fullen, Julia 38 Ar Ga Al Fullen, Clifton 19 Ok Tx Ar Fullen, Odell 13 Tx Tx Ar Fullen, Adell 13 Tx Tx Ar Fullen, Otto 10 Tx Tx Ar Fullen, Elizabeth 9 Tx Tx Ar Fullen, Travis 4 Tx Tx Ar Fullen Troy 3/12 Tx Tx Ar Cooper, Anna 68 Al

She writes that their marriage record was filed on 7 Sept 1907 in Ashdown, Little River County, Arkansas, and that J.M FULLEN married Julia Bay Cooper on 5 Sept 1907. Ameth Carmicheal also shows them as the parents of an Otis Fullen, born circa 1911. Tiffany Layman, however, disagrees, writing on March 20, 2006 "I have found no proof of this, I believe he is J.M.'s nephew. He is listed in the bible but not in any census records. Nor do any other Fullens I have talked to know of his relationship to the Fullen family."
