Part of the inspiration for starting this newsletter was an earlier newsletter, The Tullis Tracer, published by Don and Linda (Tullis) Moran from 1975 to 1981. You can follow that link to find an archive.

	Tullis Creek: 1751 Map of Virginia A map from 1751 of Virginia clearly shows a "Tullis's Creek" as a small tributary of the Potomac River, in what was then Frederick Co, Virginia, and what is Berkeley Co, West Virginia, today. This seems to place Moses Tullis (born before 1726) in Virginia at least 11 years earlier than previously thought.
	Tullis Postcard Presents a photo postcard from about 1915 showing people identified as Olive, W. Tullis, Ethel Jones, J. Battershell, Ruth Tullis, and Clayt Moore.

Tullis, two children of William Clinton Tullis and his wife Mary Jane Howell. Others in the photo are probably John Joseph Battershell, Clayton S. Moore, and Olive R. Ellett.
