Notes:

born in a log cabin. Joye Boardman I suspects this was the home of Fullen's grandfather, Samuel Sandefur who lived in Rich Valley.

In the 1930's Floy & Fullen moved to West Virginia where he worked as a blacksmith for the mines. Their children were born in McDowell County, WV.  Fullen's father became ill and ask them to return to the farm and, of course being the eldest son,  they moved back to Poor Valley. Fullen was very good with horses and a little afraid of an automobile.  One story told about him; he said "When you tell a horse to halt it does, the car just keeps going." Fullen had been in 2 serious car accidents which explains his fear of the automobile.
