Hi List, Does anyone know about JAMES ARRINGTON/ARLINGTON FULTON b. 1833 in North Carolina d. 1926 in Perry CO. IL. He married MARY ANN EATON in 1855 in Pinckneyville, Perry CO. IL. James' father was HENRY FULTON. Does anyone know if Henry had connections to the Fultons in Augusta and Rockingham counties, Virginia? Thanks, Nancy Helvey

Hello listers, An old boy once told me that, when you are looking really hard, if you unfocus your eyes, and change the angle of your head, you see things you never saw before. So, with unfocused eyes and little detail, here is what I observe about FULTON, DAVIS and other names that appear in Volume 00: Issue 72. The geographic area is Indiana's "Gore", Dearborn, Ohio and Switzerland Counties. The time frame is 1798 - 1820. First to arrive were John FULTON and his sons Samuel and Thomas plus Samuel's brother-in-law Christopher HUSTON. See Ann Irwin's earlier, excellent observations and information regarding this group. Daniel B. JAYNE, b. 1781, arrived with his wife, Catherine DAVIS around 1815. Daniel B. is son of Timothy JAYNE and Sarah ALLEN of (lastly) Northampton Co PA. Timothy, a Rev War vet, was born Suffolk Co LI NY and died in 1790 after he plunged into the lake at Ithaca NY to retrieve a deer. Timothy was grandson of William JAYNE and Elizabeth WOODHULL. Don't know what passed with Daniel B. JAYNE after his father, Timothy, left a will naming his wife, Sarah, and their children. Only that he married about 1802-3, served in the War of 1812 and had several children before he arrived in Indiana. He was a farmer and owned land, a sawmill and grist mill in Dearborn/Ohio Co. The Dearborn/Ohio Co IN probate record of Daniel B. Jayne states, in part, that the final settlement paid to his heir and son, Daniel Boone Jayne, was signed for by one Thomas DAVIS 4 May 1859. An uncle, perhaps? Daniel B. JAYNE's daughters Sarah/Sally b. 1807 and Roxie b. 1809 married Isaac SMITH and Simeon SMITH (presumeably brothers) same day, 4 Apr 1829, in Switzerland Co IN. Then, referencing the Sadsbury Twp 1790 Census. To my knowledge, other early families in this same area of Indiana were MARSH and JACK, all from PA, all intermarried with the families already listed. Makes one wonder. Patterns? Myrna Madigan

Reference: PACHESTE discussion list note dated 2 May 2000 From Linda Davis <gene_ous@yahoo.com> Subject: Thomas Davis-Coventry Twp-1700-1800 Dear Linda, I saw your note on the PACHESTE list (See Reference Note #1) regarding Thomas DAVIS who in 1802 is listed as a iron master from Coventry Twp, Chester Co and buys land in Bedford Co and later builds an Iron Furnace in Bedford Co. I am enclosing a tax list (See Reference Note #2). Do you think he is the same person listed in Sadsbury Twp, Chester Co, PA in the 1790 Federal census ? The surname Davis and Fulton occurs often in PA genealogy in the same geographic area. I realize that Davis is a common surname, but there are clusters of other relationships with Fultons that may not be coincidence. Do you have any additional information on your Thomas Davis's ancestors such a family group sheet, where they came from, where they settled ? Do you know of any Davis relationship to the SMITH name ? Thomas and William Smith of a earlier generation have interests in an iron mine in Martic Township, Lancaster Co PA in the late 1700s and in marriage relationships to the Fulton and to the Davis surname (William Smith's mother-in-law's maiden name was Sarah Davis and William's brother Thomas marries the widowed mother of Robert Fulton of steamboat fame). (See Reference Note #3). Do you know of any relationship of your Davis family to Henry HELM ? Henry Helm is appointed administrator to Robert Fulton the tailor's estate (father of Robert Fulton of steamboat fame). In 1768 Henry Helm was the administrator for selling the property of the estate of John Davis for his widow Elizabeth Davis - do you have a connection to this family ? (See Reference Note #4). Do you have any relationship to a John Davis in Allegheny Co, PA in 1809 ? (See reference #5). In all these references, do you see any other surnames that may have association with your line ?

THOMAS SMITH OF MARTIC TOWNSHIP LANCASTER CO. PA. The following is to provide background history on the Smith family that I believe the widow Mary Smith Fulton married into after her husband, Robert Fulton, the tailors, death. At this time there is no evidence that her second husbands family was related to her birth family, Joseph and Isabel Smith of Oxford, Twp, Chester Co. Pa. Thomas Smith was born in Martick Twp. where his father , William Smith, settled in 1726. The elder Smith owned a Grist & Saw Mill. His wifes name was Joannah. Thomas and his brother William Smith build Martick Furnace in 1753 or 54. Thomas Smith married Jane Allison on Jan 16, 1761 at St. James Church in Lancaster Pa.. She is listed in different records as Jane or Jean. She was the daughter of John Allison of Derry Twp. whose will was dated 1747. John Allison was a native of Londonderry, Ireland and emigrated in 1725 to the barrens of Derry which became Derry Twp, Lancaster Co. Pa. . This area is now Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Janes Children were listed in her brother Robert Allisons will of 1768, this will also shows she was deceased at this time. The children of Thomas & Jane(Jean)Smith were John, William, James, Robert. Nothing more is known of these children at this time. Thomas Smith was elected Sheriff of Lancaster County in 1752 and 1754. Revolutionary War records show a Thomas Smith of Lancaster Co. Pa. but cannot confirm him to be this Thomas Smith. Since it is documented that his brother William was actively involved in the war, it is quite probable that Thomas was also. According to Lancaster Deed Abstracts by Mayhill, Thomas Smith is entered as Sheriff in 1753,1754,1755. In The Middle Octorrora Church pamplet by Lancaster Historical Society, in 1763 William and Thomas Smith purchased the Green Tree Inn and surrounding land. They formed the town of Smithsborough from 19 acres of this land. They then sold the town to James Fulton who resold it to Robert Thompson in 1764. This was situated in Bart Twp. Page 2 - Thomas Smith The Lancaster Deed Abstracts lists Thomas Smith and wife Jane and William Smith and wife Dinah of Martic Twp. sold lot 24 in Smithsborough 14 April 1767. The following articles are found in the Pennsylvania Gazette: 9 July, 1767 - to be sold Martick Furnace and forge and about 4000 acres situate on branch of Pequea - apply to Thomas Smith living near the works. It must have taken a large investment to purchase property of this size. 26 June 1769 - Public Sale of Martic Furnace late property of Thomas Smith, James Wallace and James Fulton. - Which evidently indicates Smith was unable to sell the property. as this sale was advertised by the Sheriff. 7 May, 1770 Black Horse Tavern & Farm situated part in Martick and part in Strasburgh Twp. Lancaster Co. for sale - Apply to Thomas Smith in Martick Twp. Then a later notice "Public Sale" Late property of Thomas Smith siezed and taken to be sold by Sheriff - also 30th at Martick Furnace will be sold quality of casing. In The Lancaster Deed Abstracts, among the original members of the Juliana Library dated 22 oct 1763 were William Smith, Thomas Smith, and Robert Fulton. There also was a Robert Fulton associated for a short time with the Martic Furnace with Thomas Smith. It seems obvious that these Smiths and the Robert Fultons were acquainted. In the Trinity Lutheran Church records of Lancaster County is a marriage dated 5 Apr 1780 of Thomas Smith and Mary Fulton, two widowed persons. Robert Fulton inventor of the Steam Boat and son of the above Mary Fulton purchased land in Hopewell Twp, Washington Co. Pa May 8, 1786. It has been stated that this farm was for his mother, and sisters. It seems unusual that the son would purchase a farm for his mother if she had remarried, but its also seems obvious that Thomas Smith had financial problems. Other records that indicate the relationship of a second marriage and the presence of Thomas Smith in Mary Smith Fulton's life are: 28 Jan, 1786 Abraham Smith Fulton brother of Robert purchased 400 acres on Waters of Potato Garden & Monture Run, witness to this transaction were Robert Fulton(brother) and Thomas Smith. Page 3 - Thomas Smith I have copies of two letters from Robert the son to his Mother Mary dated June 14, 1790, and Jan 20, 1792. One is addressed to Mary Smith, and the other asks to be remembered to M. Smith.. None of the Tax lists, nor 1790 Census for Hopewell Township, Washington Co. Pa. (where the land was located that Robert Fulton purchased for his mother) list a Mary Fulton, but both records do show a Thomas Smith.) In the Washington Co. Will Book 1 - P 397 is the will of Thomas Smith who died in 1801 left wife Mary Smith, and appoints James Cook and Mary Smith as executors, this was signed Mar 9, 1800. (Mary's daughter Isabell married a Peyton Cook) There is no will for Mary Smith Fulton Smith, or any variation thereof. But this certainly throws a question about the accuracy of the widely accepted date of her death as 1799. Some background information on the brother who was involved with Thomas in several financial transcations: William Smith married Dinah Edwards Nov. 11, 1755. Dinah was born Nov 7, 1736. She was the daughter of John Edwards (B1708) and Sarah Davis. William also was a Sheriff of Lancaster County Pa. elected in 1758 and 1760. He and his family moved to New Holland (in Earl Twp) and he was a Justice til his decease in 1806. William was said to have taken an active part in the Revolutionary War and died in New Holland. Both the Davis and Edwards families were from Earl Township, in and near New Holland. [the majority of this information came from Egle's Notes & Queries] Ann Irwin ******************************************************************** Reference Note #4: Subject: Re: Pennsylvania Gazette Resent-Date: Mon, 2 Nov 1998 15:22:43 -0800 (PST) From: "Roberta (Fulton) Hirth" <hirth@frontiernet.net> To: FULTON-L@rootsweb.com Dear Ann and Pat, I am glad that the Pennsylvania Gazette is turning out to be such a fascinating source of new information. I think I am beginning to understand why Robert's widow signed over letters of administration to Henry Helm. At the Lancaster County Historical Society, Eleanore J. Fulton had some notes on this gentlemen that clearly indicates he was a highly respected individual in the community and his involvement in various groups crossed paths with Robert's affiliations. Eleanore's notes indicate that Henry Helm appears on early Lancaster Taxabe lists (1754); was an original member of the Juliana Library (LCHSJ xxxiii 213); was an original member of the Friendship Fire Co organized 10 Dec 1763 (E&E 383); PA Gazette 21 Nov 1771 mentions the noted hotel "Crown & Boot" on Queen St in Lancaster is to be sold & so it is announced by Henry Helm, apparently the owner and that it is located a few doors below the court house (LCHSJ xxv 42); Helm was listed on a Lancaster County's contributors to the Relief of Boston 1774 (LCHSJ xxviii 3,4); he is listed among taxables in 1771 for Lancaster Boro P.A. S3 xvii 8; 2 horses, 2cows; for 1772 p 293 - 15A, 2 horses, 1 cow; for 1773 p 458 Henry Helm tavern - 1 horse, 1 cow. In the Helm Family vertical file at LCHS it shows his occupation as "innkeeper" in 1773 and cordwainer in 1777. The Rev. John Woodhull, first minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Lancaster PA, explains that Henry Helm was a ruling elder of the church and when they tried to raise funds for building the church via a lottery, Henry Helm went to Philadelphia to help solicit contributions. He lists Henry as one of the leading men in the church in 1770 when the building was completed. >From the book, Robert Fulton and the Clermont by Alice Crary Sutcliffe, great-granddaughter of the Inventor, The Century Co, NY, publ 1909, p 4 states, "The senior Robert Fulton was among the prominent men of Lancaster, his name having been on record upon all the town organizations which existed at that period. He was a founder of the Presbyterian church, the Secretary of the Union Fire Company, and a charter member of the Juliana Library of Lancaster, the third library established in the American Colonies. (1763)." Since Henry Helm and Robert Fulton the tailor belonged to the same organizations, they may have developed a close friendship. In addition, the PA Gazette article on 17 March 1768 shows that Henry Helm was the administrator for selling the property of the estate of John Davis for his widow Elizabeth Davis, so clearly Henry Helm had experience in helping to settle estates for widows. ********************************************************************** Reference Note #5: Subject: Abstracts from Gen Soc of PA Publications Resent-Date: Sat, 27 Sep 1997 10:10:22 -0700 (PDT) From: dkfulton@futura.net (dorothy k fulton) To: FULTON-L@rootsweb.com <snip...> Ref: Some abstracts on Fultons from Gen Soc of PA publications Vol VII 3/1918 Abstracts of Wills & Adm. of Allegheny Co p 227 John Jones of Deer Twp, yeoman, d 9/21/1809 p 11/21/1809 Wife Rosanna, children (some under age) Evan, Jos., Hannah, Rebecca, Mary, john, Samuel, Edmond, Jesse, James, Martha, Phoeby & Catherine; wife & John Davis executors; Wit: James Fulton & James Clendennen ***************************************************************************

Mr. Folkers-- This is wonderful! I would love to have a copy of the certificate that Abraham & Margaret received upon their departure for the U.S. However, could you just mail it to me, as my quite dated system will not pick up an attachment. My address is 807 S. University, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858. I would also like to know your connection to this line of Fultons. My father worked for years on the geneaology of this line, and I would like to know where you fit in. h.l. fulton

Dear FULTON researchers: My father has the certificate presented to Abraham and Margaret FULTON by the Presbyterian Church at Dunboe, Articlave, Northern Ireland, in his possession. To the best of my knowledge, this is the original, dated 1772. I have photographed this certificate with a digital camera (no flash!) and would be happy to share the file with you. Please send requests to my e-mail address: swf12262@aol.com and I will forward the certificate photograph as an attachment to your E-mail address. The certificate reads: "Whereas Abraham Fulton with his wife & Family are now removing from this country to the continent of America this is to Inform Whom it may concern that they were born and lived untill the date hereof on if parish and beheaved in a sober & Christian manner and Now leaves us free from any publick Scandall or State Censure Certified at Articlave 26th day of may 1772 by Wm Knox V. & M. L. Caldwell } Robert Guthry} Elders" The vagaries in capitalization, spelling, and punctuation are a faithful record of the original. Steve Steven Weyand Folkers Skokie, IL 60076 swf12262@aol.com

Am I imagining something here????? Mary Ann Phillips Hi Mary, If you re-read the begining of part 1,even back then, there were different stories going around of who Robert Fulton was and where he came from; "Mr W S Lindsay, the author of the extensive and well known work on Merchant Shipping, made a careful examination of thequestion, but without a satisfactory result. " Mr Lindsay said without staisfactory results. So, at the end of his research he (Mr. Lindsay) proved the Robert Fulton born in Beith, Mr Stevenson talked about could not have been of the Steamboat fame, because it appears he died in the island of Antiqua ,years after we know Robert Fulton of the Steamboat fame died in NYC. I have another article where Mr Bell, the famous engineer of Scotland who 1811 built the steambaot the Comet, states Mr Robert Fulton , who built the 1st American stamboat, visted with him on many ocations. I will post that later. It certinly raises a few questions!! Florence F Wolfe fwolfe@ frontiernet.net

Hi, Sorry, I do not have any other info on Henry Fulton, I do hope to go to the NYC National Arcives soon and see what I can find. I came across his name while I was doing some research in Pa on my husbands side of the family. I will keep your post in mind if I find out anything. Have you ever tried to get the vital stat on your William Fulton? Did he die in PA? When did he die?

His father, William Fulton was born at Threepwood, also in the parish of Beith about the year 1720. He took a lease of Browninuir(?) and Mill of Beith, corn mill about the year 1742. He married Rosie Mitchell a native of Domberton(?) in the year 1744. He had five daughters and two sons. The eldest son , William, was born about the year 1747 or 1748, he became a partner in the firm of Fulton, Buchannm and Pollock who erected a large cotton mill. Among the workman employed were the late William Dunn of Duntocher, and Henry Bell of Glasgow. Robert Fulton, when young was educated in the highest branches of learning being master of nine different languages. He had a cousin, Henry Fulton, in London who had a warehouse, and Robert's father intended him to go there. He was educated as that he might be able to conduct business with foreign merchants. He went to London about the year 1788, but did not like to be__ in the __ or the office. He went to sea many different voyages, was at Greenland, America, and the Indies. He was often in London and came different times to Scotland to his father, mother and his brother and sisters, and also got models and machines made by his brother's workmen at Lochwinnoch for some of his inventions. He was in Scotland about the year 1801__ __ __ boat in the F__ Clyde canal along with Henry Bell. He was about London after that. He had inventions of different things which he made offer of to the British Government, but they would give him no encouragement. After that he went to Paris and made offer of them to Bonaparte. The British government hearing he made offer of them to Bonaparte, issued an order for his apprehension. He was in Paris about the year 1803, and left for America in company with the American Consul, Livingston. He got aquatinted with his daughter of niece, Harriet Livingston, in the vessel, and was married to her in a short time. It was after that that he started the steam-boat on the Hudson River. He had been at great expense and got into difficulties for want of money. He left America and went to Antigua, and commenced business and remained there, except when visiting his friends in Scotland. I recollect him being here , in this house, visiting my father and mother; my sister and elder brother recollect the __. It was in the year 1821; he returned to Antigua and died in about a year after that. Also his wife died about a year after him. His will & settlement came home and was in the hands of Martin & Simpson_, Paisley; the way I know this, he was an uncle to both my father & mother ; their mothers being both sisters of Robert Fulton. The few statements herein contained are within my own knowledge. John Stevenson By this very statement herewith contained, it appeared we had discovered that the celebrated Robert Fulton was not merely of Ayrshire parentage, but was himself born in Ayrshire, a __, if substantiated, of ordinary importance to us as Scotsman, who proud of his countrymen Watt and Symington, could now rank with them as country men also of our own, the only rival claimant, of note, to the invention of the marine steam engine. It may have been the one that he was a __ __ __ having proposed to Napoleon a scheme for the invasion of England and disowned the land of his birth and sought protection as an American __ __opinion, however, which __ to confirm our belief that the Robert Fulton of engineering fame was really a Scotsman. Indeed, __dering the statement made by Mr Stevenson, there were many reasons for supporting that such was the case; and our belief was strengthened when, on searching the parochial register of the parish of Beith in the General Register House, Edinburg, we found the following entry; " Robert, lawful son of William Fulton and Rosie Mitchell in the Miln of Beith, April 17th; baptized April 22nd 1764". The only real difference ( apart from the dates 1764 instead of 1765, in the statement), which required to be cleared up was his death in Antigua in 1821, instead of New York in 1815 as stated by his biographers, and , also the fact of his marriage, to Miss Livingston. To ascertain these points, I communicated with the Governor of Antigua, who __ obtained and forwarded, in due time, a copy from the register of the parish of St George in that Island of the entry of death of a Robert Fulton at the age of fifty-three, and his burial on the 25 The November 1819. As this Robert Fulton was buried two years before Mr Stevenson said the Robert Fulton of whom he speaks, as the copy of the will which the Governor of Antigua was also good enough to obtain, makes no mention of the name of Livingston, and as no record could be found in the death in that Island of any other person of the name of Robert Fulton, we reluctantly arrived at the conclusion that, after all, we had not found the man for whom we had made so diligent a search. The incidents in the lives are, however, so much alike, that they are worthy of record, and may give my readers some ideas of the labors of an author to arrive at the truth; labors which are frequently made in vain, as in the present instance. But though the Fulton from Beith was apparently not the Fulton of fame, I have a strong impression that the nephew of my old friend Fulton of Ballig was, though I have not the time at present to make further researches, as this volume is now on its way to press. W.S. Linday Hope you all enjoyed, Florence F Wolfe fwolfe@frontiernet.net

Why did I receive the message from pt/rbndvsmailto:buster@y-city.net? I have been fascinated by the Fulton information on rootsweb, and when I figure out how to attach descendents of Abraham Fulton and Margaret Guthrie, through Robert and Nancy, I'll send it. The subject of the message was [FULTON]unsubscribe. I certainly don't want to. Mary Droege

I assume these are accessible at the RootsWeb archives section. I do have my FULTON line all the way back to Abraham and Margaret, my fifth great grandparents. Fortunately, my grandmother did extensive research when she joined the DAR in 1948. Here's my line: 1) Abraham FULTON (1712, Articlave, Ireland - 1787, Westmoreland Co., PA) married in 1745, at Dunboe Parish, Articlave, to Margaret Guthry (Guthrie) (b. 1716 at Articlave) 2) Robert FULTON (1751, Articlave - 1820, Westmoreland Co., PA) married about 1784, presumably at Westmoreland Co., PA, to Nancy (or Agnes) SLOAN (1754 - 1831, Westmoreland Co., PA_ 3) Abraham FULTON (II) (1794, Westmoreland Co., PA - after 1850, Porter Co., IN) married presumably before 1835, at Westmoreland Co., PA, Jane TURNER (c. 1796 - before 1850, Porter Co., IN) 4) James Sloan FULTON (1835, Westmoreland Co., PA - 1904, Valparaiso, Porter Co., IN) married 1861, Porter Co., IN, Martha HUGHART (1840, Center Twp., Porter co., IN - 1925, Valparaiso, Porter Co., IN) 5) George Leone FULTON (1865, Center Twp., Porter Co., IN - 1941, Frankfort, Will Co., IL) married 1887 at Porter Co., IN, Lucia Mae FARRINGTON (1866, Porter Co., IN - 1936, Chicago, Cook Co., IL) 6) Leilia Pearl FULTON (1897, Chicago, IL - 1973, Frankfort, Will Co., IL) married 1928, at Chicago, Herbert Peter FOLKERS, Sr. (1895, Frankfort, Will Co., IL - 1986, Joliet, Will Co., IL) 7) Frank George Folkers (living) married Jacqueline Fern WEYAND (living) 8) Steven Weyand FOLKERS (yours truly) My father has in his possession a certificate signed by the church elders at Articlave, which states that Abraham and family were of good moral character. It is dated 1772. Have I sent you an invitation to the Folkers and Weyand Family Website at MyFamily.com? It's a private site requiring a password. You can view this church certificate there. I would love to share this with all of Abraham's and Margaret's descendants. It's in the form of an image taken with a digital camera. Do you know if there is any way to post this on RootsWeb? I had no idea that Robert came here before 1770 to "check things out!" Always thought the whole family came together in 1772. I hope this information is of some help to other FULTON researchers.
