Martha Jane Wade
Isaac Fountain Pullen was born in October 1840 at Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana to John Lewis Pullen and Virginia Ann Baker. His parents married in Crawfordsville 3 Jun 1840. They were the parents of eight children.
By 1850, the Pullen family had moved to Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky and went by the name Pulliam. John Lewis was listed as an auctioneer from 1850-1870. It is assumed that Isaac's parents died before 1880, as neither of them are listed on the census, and his youngest brother had moved with him to Tallula, Menard County, Illinois. 6 Jan 1881, Joseph Douglass Pullen, youngest brother of Isaac, died at Tallula and was buried at White Cemetery. He was 15 years 9months and two days old. Isaac died between 1910-1920 probably in Tallula. In 1930 his widow was living with their daughter Pearl and her husband John Young in Roodhouse, Greene County, Illinois.
Isaac married Martha Jane Wade around 1864 in Louisville. Martha was born in Mar 1851 at Adair County, Kentucky. She died after 1930 in Roodhouse, Greene County, Illinois.
