Hi,
My great grandfather was James Pullen; his wife's name was always told to us as "Wealthy Orella" Pullen.Welthea Raleigh makes a lot more sense. Family lore suggests that Mrs. Pullen was a demure woman who married James when she was 13 or 14 years old. They settled in Sioux County Nebraska, had 12 or 13 children.
I remember these direct descendants:
Leona Pullen Dout
Elmer Pullen
Mabel Pullen Wasserberger
Dorothy Pullen
Spec Pullen (don't know his real name and apparently he died early but always comes up in family reminiscences)
Verda Pullen Barkus
My father, now 81, is the oldest living descendant in our immediate family.
