The one current lead on Isaac is that he may have been the son of Jacob Fulkerson of New Jersey, who was born in 1739. Willard L. Fulkerson of upstate New York attempted to document the Fulkerson family history in that region during the mid-20th century, and left us the following notations about Jacob's children:

Jacob -- m. a Miss Bell - left her and married again
Joseph -- lived in Lasson [a community called Lassen was located along the banks of the Hudson River in the Town of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., New York.]
Isaac -- went to Canada before the war
John -- Died in the line of service
Samuel --
