Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 234-235:
Capt. Francis Casper Fulmer, now engaged in the livery business in Windsor, is descended from one of the pioneer families of the County of Essex. The Fulmer family was originally German, and the first to cross the Atlantic and plant the family in the Western World came in the historic "Mayflower" to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
John Casper Fulmer, grandfather of Francis C., is of record in Pennsylvania, and was born about the year 1760. When quite young he became connected with the Colonial army, but at the time of the Revolutionary war settled in Canada, locating in Lot 1, Concession 3, Mersea township, County of Essex, which contained 200 acres of land. Here he followed farming the remainder of his days, and died about the year 1838. Mr. Fulmer married Ann Fox, and to their union were born the following children: John, Adam, George, Henry, Julia, Elizabeth and Nancy.
John Fulmer, father of Francis C., was born on the old farm in Mersea township, in 1805. He married (first) Betsy, daughter of Francis Wilkinson, who was of Irish descent. To Mr. and Mrs. Fulmer came the following children: Caroline, wife of Comfort Latham; Francis C., our subject; William K., of the United States; and Mary, the wife of Levi Truax. The mother of this family died in 1817, and her husband married for his second wife, Sarah McNutt, by whom he had one daughter, Abby, who died at the age of twenty years. John Fulmer died in 1869. During his active life he was identified with the Reform party.
Francis Casper Fulmer, or Capt. Fulmer, as he is known, was born in Mersea township Oct. 17, 1835, where he grew to manhood. At the age of sixteen he took charge of his father's farm, and there remained until 1871. At this time he settled in Windsor, and, in company with David McGregor, engaged in the livery business for four and a half years, when he sold out to his partner. Soon thereafter he established a hack and sale stable, to which he very soon added a general livery business, and since 1876 Capt. Fulmer has been found at the present stand in Ferry street, near the river. During the rebellion in the States, Mr. Fulmer did a large business in buying and shipping horses to that country for cavalry use. Horse dealing was an important factor in his business until the death of his son in 1882. Since that time Mr. Fulmer has been obliged to remain close to his local business office.
In 1856 Captain Fulmer was united in marriage to Phoebe Jane McQueen, daughter of Jacob McQueen and to this union came children as follows: (1) Almina is the wife of Charles Chilvers, of Walkerville, by whom she has had eight children: Lewis, Frank, Alonzo, May, Millie, Lettie, John A. and Almina. (2) William is deceased. (3) Miss Lettie Jane resides at home. (4) Lewis J. married Ora Johnson, but is now deceased. Two sons were born to this union: Lewis and Casper R.
Captain Fulmer was for a number of years captain of the fire company of Windsor. He has been offered public positions at different times, but declined any political notoriety. The Captain is a member of the I.O.O.F. and the A.O.U.W.
