A popular tradition is that Jacob Fulmer married an Indian maiden named Nancy Lightfoot. However, it was passed down by Mary Ann Amick Alewine, a granddaughter of Capt. Jacob Fulmer, that the wife of Capt. Jacob Fulmer was Nancy Leitze. Nancy Leitze was born Anna Maria Agnes Leuze on 8 December 1743, the daughter of Jacob Leuze and Anna Maria Schuler. (Nancy was a common nickname used for Agnes.)
The Leuze (or Leitze) family had come to SC in 1749 from Eningen unter Achalm, Württemberg, Germany, and settled in the St. John's Lutheran Church area of the Dutch Fork. As "Mary Litecey", she obtained a 100 acre land grant in 1774 in the Macedonia Lutheran Church area near the Saluda River. Later surveys and deeds indicate her grant as land of Jacob Fulmer.
