Although born and educated in Maine, Seargent Smith Prentiss (1808-1850) rose to prominence in Mississippi as a lawyer practicing in Natchez and Vicksburg. He was elected to the Mississippi State House of Representatives for the 1836-1837 term and served in the US Congress from May 30, 1838, to March 3, 1839 after contesting the election of John F.H. Claiborne. A supporter of the Whig Party, Prentiss is best remembered for his eloquent oratory and, in particular, his speeches upon the House floor where, according to legend, Senator Daniel Webster would switch chambers on such occasions so as to hear his colleague speak. Prentiss failed in his bid for the US Senate in 1840 and thereafter moved to New Orleans and resumed practicing law. The 1850 census records a William Boon Fulkerson (1829-1895) as a 21-year old clerk in residing in Claiborne County, Mississippi. It is likely that William Fulkerson was a younger brother to Horace S. Fulkerson (1818-1891) who too resided in Port Gibson from 1840 to 1858 where he served as Deputy United States Marshall but thereafter moved to New Orleans eventually employed in several Confederate capacities including a stint as special agent in Europe procuring arms and munitions.
