I have two dates for their marriage. both listed in the LDS Genealogical online database.  one is 1855 with no month or day.  The other is to the left.  Based on the ages of their children, the youngest born in 1862, I believe the date I listed is correct.  Amos was a cooper like his father.  When Richard died, Amos inherited the home and business and kept it running.  He married later in life and seemed to be a devote family man.  He took care of his aged mother Clara.  His sister Hanna lived with him until her death, and after his brother Morgans early death, two of Morgans son's were raised in Amos's household.  He also had a boy, Richard Fulkerson, living in his home in 1850 who was only 10 years old.  It is probably his brother John's son Richard since there is no other Richard Fulkerson born in 1840.  The 1850 census of Amos was taken a few months later than the 1850 census in Clinton County Indiana where John's family is listed along with his son Richard.   Later, by 1880, Amos had given up the art of cooper and focused solely on farming, which he had done through the years as well.  After Amos's death Susan joined the Quaker church.  It's possible she may have been a member prior to her marriage.

Jacob never married and died young at the age of 48 years old.  after growing up I found him as a Hack Driver in 1900.  I'm not sure what that is at the moment but it could be some sort of delivery service.  I'll find out.

Clarence lists his occupation as Manufacturing in 1900.   John was always refered to as JW J William or just plain William.  He was also in manufacturing but in 1920 lists himself as the manager of a coal yard.  Clarence and JW owned a sucessful hardware and feed store in the center of Spring Valley.  It's still there today as an Ice Cream shop on the Little Miami bike trail.   He was also a Justice of the Peace and Mayor of Spring Valley.   His son Morris owned a service station in Waynesville and became a prominent local artist after his retirement. Nellie and her husband Charles lived on a farm in Sugar Creek all their lives which their son Nevin took over after Charle's death.
