He was born in 1629 in what is now Carteret County. He settled in this area and died in 1729. An article dated September 18, 1893, in <i>The New Bern Daily Journal</i>, identified Fulford's grave in a cemetery outside the county seat of <a href="/wiki/Beaufort,_North_Carolina" title="Beaufort, North Carolina">Beaufort</a>, in an area called the Straits. It was described as "bricked up with English brick." In 1971 a survey by the Carteret County Historical Society found such a grave in the Fulford Cemetery off Piper Lane in <a href="/wiki/Gloucester,_North_Carolina" title="Gloucester, North Carolina">Gloucester</a>. The unmarked, bricked-up grave matching this description survives today.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>One of the more prominent families from Carteret County was the Dennis family. William Dennis Sr. (b.1720 - d.1800) was an extremely colorful landowner, Revolutionary War officer, and defender of the county. In 1747, he assisted with the successful defense of the county during the <a href="/wiki/War_of_Jenkins%27_Ear" title="War of Jenkins' Ear">War of Jenkins' Ear</a> (fighting against Spanish pirates). During the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolution" title="American Revolution">Revolutionary War</a> he served as a 2nd Major in the <a href="/wiki/Carteret_County_Regiment" title="Carteret County Regiment">Carteret County Regiment</a> of the North Carolina militia. In 1782, he fought alongside Lieutenant Colonel John Easton to drive the British from Carteret County. Dennis once owned the Hammock House, which became well known as the house owned by the pirate Blackbeard. His son, William Dennis Junior was a captain in the <a href="/wiki/8th_North_Carolina_Regiment" title="8th North Carolina Regiment">8th North Carolina Regiment</a> (1777-1778), was present at Valley Forge and also fought in the Carteret County Regiment (1781-1782). In the <a href="/wiki/1790_United_States_census" title="1790 United States census">1790 U.S. census</a>, Dennis was one of the largest land owners in the county. Branches of the Dennis family include the Bells, Watsons and Pelletiers, many of whom continued to live in the area for many years. In a typical pattern of following the availability of new lands in the Deep South, some branches of this family later migrated to Mississippi and Texas in the 19th century.<sup id="cite_ref-8"
