Misc. Notes
Captain Charles Volck or Foulk, who for a time commanded Fort Allen, and later was in command of Fort Everitt, son of Andreas, Sr., was born November 18, 1709, and was baptized in New York. September 10, 1710. He was reared in the Lutheran religion, but having removed to Lynn township, connected himself with the Moravians. Benjamin Franklin in his letter of January 14, 1756, states that he raised a company under Foulk, and in his letter of the 26th states that Foulk commanded 46 men. After the completion of Foil Allen, Folk was sent to build another, as Franklin says, "Between this and Schuylkill Fort, which I hope will be finished (as it apparent that Trexler is to join him) inaweek or 10 days." It is apparent that this was Fort Everett and Foulk was in command. In 1758, he commanded 63 men "at the new fort, not named, between Fort Allen and Foil Lebanon."
Captain Volck married, in 1730, Catharine Harzy, born December l7. 1713. He died in 1766 at Hebron, Pa.
