Biographical History
Judge Zachary Taylor Fulmore (1846-1923) was born in Robeson County, North Carolina, to Zachariah and Sarah (Bethea) Fulmore.
In 1864, he left his studies to fight for the Confederacy in the Civil War as a Private in Company D, First Battalion of the North Carolina Army. After the war, he completed his studies, graduating from the University of Virginia with a law degree in 1870. That same year Fulmore moved to Austin, Texas, where he practiced law and became Travis County judge in 1880. In 1891, Governor James S. Hogg appointed him a member of a commission to revise and digest the state⁰́₉s laws. Fulmore also served as trustee for the Texas School for the Blind (1875-1897), a member of the Austin school board (1880-1897), chair of the Texas Confederate Home (1903-1905), recorder of the Corporation Court of Austin (1909-1919), and a charter member and president (1913-1915) of the Texas State Historical Association. A contributor to the association's quarterly publication, he wrote several books, including The History and Geography of Texas As Told in County Names (1915). Additionally, Fulmore was an active member of the Knights of Pythias and the American, Texas, and Travis County bar associations.
