My great great grandmother was Penelope Halbrook Fulcher Ferris (1853-1935, husband Jacob Ferris) of Patrick County VA. Her mother was Missouri (aka Zerie, Zurah, Zerah) Fulcher(1818-1900?) of Montgomery County VA. According to the 1900 census, Missouri declared herself as widowed but no man appeared in the census records between 1850-1900. I have heard that she was associated with Hardin and/or Phillip Fulcher, but I have not found a marriage certificate. I would appreciate any information and photos regarding Missouri or her family. I would like to learn the identify of Penelope's father as well as more about Missouri. I have learned that Missouri was Cherokee and would like to know more about her family situation and her whereabouts from 1818 until 1850. I have come across court records verifying that a neighbor harrassed her. I know that Penelope's siblings included Madison P. Fulcher, Lucinda F. Cromer, Nancy, Olivia J., Corrilda and James T. Fulcher. Crockett F!
ulcher is also listed in two Census records. I would love to hear more about these siblings and learn the location of their graves as well as that of Missouri.
