A NUMBER OF THE COUSINS who have contacted this site descend from the union of Caleb FULKERSON and Deborah TUNISON. Deborah’s grandmother was Rebecca VOLKERTS, daughter of Philip VOLKERSE. Deborah’s great-great-grandparents were Sara RAPALJE, the first European girl born in New Netherland, and Tunis Gysbertse BOGAERT.
