Reference: Note from "Deanna D. Rabkin" <drabkin@ex-pressnet.com> regarding Subject: Fulton in OH / WV dated 6 Jul 1999 08:03:04 Dear Deanna, You stated that you are searching for the parents of Anna Agnes Fulton (also known as Ann Fulton; Margaret Anna Fulton), b. 1822, m. Henry Karr/Carr/Kerr in 1839 in Ohio Co, WV. At least one son was born in Monroe Co, OH. The family later moved to Jackson Co, WV. I suggest the following: 1) First search the areas where your family was located and try to find more information about them such as names and vital statistics of their children. Are there any Fulton families listed in the church, land, probate records in Ohio Co WV, Monroe Co OH, or Jackson Co WV from 1800 to 1850 ? 2) Look in the 1850 census and find out the birthplace of Henry Karr/Carr/Kerr and of Anna Agnes (Fulton) Karr/Carr/Kerr. At least that will identify what state they were born in or if they are foreign born. 3) In the 1850 census there is a column for real estate value. If it has an entry, then you should be checking land records to find out exactly where they lived in the county in question. The land records will also give you a better idea of when they arrived in the locality and who their neighbors were. Then check where their neighbors were born. 4) Monroe Co, Ohio is south of Belmont Co OH. Have you read all the information on Belmont Co, Ohio from the Fulton-l discussion list archives ? 5) Also check out the archives for information on Six Mile Cross and Thomas Bigley Fulton's webpage which is further explained below:. When checking Belmont, I came across the following note: Subject: Six Mile Cross, Co Tyrone, Ireland Fultons, late 1700s Resent-Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 05:27:37 Reference: Thomas Bigley Fulton web pages on some of the Belmont Co, Ohio Fultons that is located at: http://users.1st.net/fultontb/ Select "TOC" button Select Genealogy Stuff - persons The Fulton Family Letter 87-65 mentions that descendants of the Six Mile Cross Fultons settled not only in Belmont OH, but also in Beallsville, OH and other towns in Monroe Co, OH. 6) Ohio Co WV is across from Belmont Co, OH Jackson Co WV is across from Galla Co, OH. The Ohio River separating these two states made travel easier. List each county between Ohio Co WV to Jackson Co WV. List each county between Belmont Co OH to Galla Co OH. At the time your family was in WV and OH, list every Fulton family resident in all those counties in those regions that you can find in the census. Then check the 1850 census for those Fultons and see if any naming conventions of your family match the potential grandparents, aunts or uncles. 7) Another line that appears in the Belmont, OH area is the one documented in the Hugh Ramsey Fulton book. SOURCE: Genealogy of the Fulton Family being Descendants of John Fulton Born in Scotland 1713, by Hugh Ramsey. Fulton, Lancaster PA. 1900. LDS Salt Lake City US/CAN Film area 0982495 item 2 (indexed), and Higginson Publishing Co. The Fulton-l discussion list has some information on this family. Kerr is one of the surnames that appears in this family. I checked for Henry Kerr, but he is not listed in the index. An Annie Margaret Fulton u. was listed on page 36 (no vital statistics). She is the 4rth child of George W. Fulton and Mary Ann Kennedy (second marriage). Their first child is Robert Warnock Fulton, Beaver PA m. Ella Fombelle. The middle name Warnock caught my attention since it is a city in Belmont Co OH. By the way George Washington Fulton b in Chester Co PA Aug 1802 d Nov 1864m. Harriet Blanchard 1838, second marriage Mary Ann Kennedy 1846. So this family is NOT yours - married too late. But George Washington Fulton was a trade steam boat engineer on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers (p 30), so again this showns this family's activity in the area. A collateral line in this book, descendants of Elizabeth Fulton and husband James Hutchinson moved to Belmont Co. Ohio, approx 7 miles from Wheeling ca 1800 and to New Athens, Ohio. (FFL 87-63). Hope this helps you. Roberta R. (Fulton) Hirth Harriman, New York 10926 FULTON web page at: http://www.frontiernet.net/~elisa96/hirth/fulton.htm

It has been two years since her first "true love" was killed in the line of duty at age 22 and the emotional healing process continues. Regarding your Wales ancestors, I assume that you do not know your GGF David Fulton's parent's names. Is that true ? Where did David live in PA, how old was he at that time, and do you have any birth and death information on him ? Do you know his wife's name (the one born in Wales) ? I am not sure if I understand the information you provided. Is the following correct ? 1 gggf Fulton b in Wales + gggm b in Wales 2 David Fulton b in PA, your ggf + ggm born in Wales 3 Catherine Fulton b in Wales I went to the LDS online database at: http://www.familysearch.org/ I selected Custom Search (so I could specify the region), selected IGI, specified Catherine Fulton and set the region to British Isles. Please keep in mind that the LDS does NOT have all their information online (yet), but I wanted to see what was available. Also the indexes are never complete or fully accurate, so once you can zero in on a region, you would want to get the films of the parish records and review them yourself. In the book "In the Search of Your British & Irish Roots" by Angus Baxter, Genealogical Publishing Co, 1991, it states that the LDS Church has now completed microfilming and indexing the following records in the United Kingdom: England and Wales: Civil Registration of BMD 1837-1903. So if your Catherine was born after 1903, she will not be on the LDS films. What I found was the following: 161. Catherine FULTON - International Genealogical Index Gender: F Marriage: 17 Jun 1805 Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales Marriage(s): Spouse: Lewis BOOTH Marriage: 17 Jun 1805 Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales Film Number: 1985676 Based on the information you gave me, this Catherine Fulton is born too early. Although you said your David was born in PA, I decided to search for David (perhaps some of his ancestors were named David). 90.

This gives me a list of children whose father/mother are Morgan Fulton and Sarah Thomas, though they are NOT necesarily one family. In any case, it can help you to try to gather family units.

Visit the GENUKI home page at: http://www.genuki.org.uk/ It has excellent suggestions regarding how to research from abroad, and lists the addresses of the Family History Societies. In Pennsylvania where your David lived, try to determine if any of his neighbors or associates came from Wales. It may help to focus on a more specific geographic locality in Wales.

It can be reached at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Specify fulton-l, specify 1998, use search string Subject: Timeline for the first two notes. For the third note notice you need to specify 1997 and Subject: Early Foulton Subject: Timeline: Early Fulton Origins - Part I Resent-Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 13:00:25 -0800 (PST) Subject: Timeline: Early Fulton Origins - Part II Resent-Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 13:35:23 -0800 (PST) Subject: Early Foulton References in England 1086-1600 Resent-Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 14:05:23 -0700 (PDT) In the third note, I mentioned that in the book the MEMOIRS OF THE FULTONS OF LISBURN compiled by Sir Theodore C. Hope, privatley printed 1903, the author mentions three instances of Fulton in England, before he goes into describing Fultons in Scotland and Northern Ireland. He attributes the source of his informaton as Dr. Robert Valpy of Dunedin, New Zealand. On Page 9: "The Fultons appear to have been of Saxon origin, and at an early date to have migrated up the east coast, eventually settling in Ayrshire, where to this day they exist in considerable numbers. There is, however, reason to believe that the whole of the Fultons did not migrate to Scotland. It will be seen, in the remarks upon arms farther on, that there were in the time of the Crusades a certain knight, Sir de Fulton de Holt - presumable the place of that name in Norfolk - and, in 1604, a Fulton family in Shropshire." Shropshire is a county in England that borders Wales. Over a year ago, I tried to find out more about the location of HOLT in England. In an old book on placenames, I saw HOLT listed in the following old regions in England: Clwyd (modern map Holt is northeast of Wrexham) Wilts (could not find Holt in Wilts on a modern map) Dorset (modern map Holt is north of Poole) Norfolk (could not find Holt in Norfolk on a modern map). Both regions of Clwyd and Wilts are close to Wales. But the occurrences of early references to the surname in England in the mid 1200's point more to Essex and Norfolk, as listed in the source below: ******************************* A DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH SURNAMES, THE STANDARD GUIDE TO ENGLISH SURNAMES by P. H. Reaney & R. M. Wilson, Oxford University Press, 1995. Page 179 FULDON, FULTON: Richard Fulton 1218-19 FFEss; Roger de Fuldon' 1255-8 RegAntiquiss. From Foulden (Nf).

Nf=Norfolk *********************************** Keep in mind that your family in Wales could have always had roots there, or could have migrated from Scotland or Northern Ireland to Wales in more modern times. If you have more information about your family, please share it with the list. One of our researchers on the list may be able to help you. I am always interested in the migraton paths of the Fultons, so if you could provide that information, I would appreciate it. It helps others to connect to lost lines. Thanks, Roberta R.

If that's the case, do you know of any Fultons in Spokane who are clearly NOT descended from Reed Fulton? h.l. fulton

In regards to Roberta's recent information on Reed Fulton: To my knowledge none of the William Fultons listed at the end of the e-mail are descended from James Fulton and Ann Christopher. The last William Fulton from that line in the state of Washington was my great grandfather William Henry Fulton who died in Tacoma in 1919.

Fulton" <3R7OGJY@CMUVM.CSV.CMICH.EDU> Subject: Re: Westmoreland County, PA Fultons Dated:Mon, 12 Jul 1999 17:42:57 Dear Henry, I looked up the chart you had sent me to find out more about Reed Fulton. You had listed the following: 1 Henry Chapin FULTON b 16 Nov 1852 + Kate REED 2 Lois FULTON 2 Grace FULTON 2 Col. Jefferson FULTON 2 Prof Reed FULTON 2 Dr. William V. FULTON, MD + Margaret Fulton MEANS Although I do not have any information on Reed Fulton, I would suggest you call or write to the 18 Fultons listed in Spokane Washington. I used SWITCHBOARD, an online telephone directory which is located at http://www.switchboard.com/ Select "People Search", specify Last Name "Fulton", City "Spokane", State "WA". About 18 entries appear, most with mailing addresses, all with telephone numbers. A few may have e-mail. Perhaps one of these Fultons is the child or grandchild of Reed Fulton. I also used the online Social Security index. Ancestry Hometown has the SSDI On-line at-- http://www.ancestry.com/ssdi/advanced.htm Although there were no entries for Reed Fulton in Washington, there was an entry for Fulton Reed in Kent (near Tacoma, WA). Since your chart had listed a Jefferson Fulton and a William Fulton as Reed Fulton's brothers, I looked up those names also. There were no hits for Jefferson, but there were three hits for William.

Thanx much for the leads on Reed Fulton, Roberta. I know now what to do. The easiest thing is to write a form letter to everyone of the 18 Fultons listed. I know I'll come up with something. Meanwhile, I must write my sisters and see whether they still have some of the books of his we read as children years ago! I'll let the Listserv know what I find. But I'm not likely to do anything til my summer seminar's done in early August. henry

Roberta, maybe you can help me. More than a month ago I posted a general message asking whether there was any- one descended from the late Reed Fulton of Spokane, Washington, who could give me some details about this man, a high school teacher in that area and an author of several children's books in the 1950's. Not a word. Do you have anything? Reed Fulton is in my line, a direct descendent of Abram Fulton and Jane Coe through their son Henry (1785-1869). Reed was a son of Dr. Henry Chapin Fulton (1852-) and Kate Reed. Do you know anything about this line? Does anyone else? henry L. fulton

Ernest Regarding Martha Fulton who married Samuel Steele (1709- 1790) I have no answers about her parents, but would like to have her dates if known to anyone. her dtr Martha Rosanna Steele was born about 1746 or 1748, so I suppose she was born about 1725. Dave McCutchan dagmac@bellatlantic.net

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: {not a subscriber} Fulton migration Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 07:31:18 -0700 (PDT) From: bstone@netexpress.net (Edith Stone) To: FULTON-L@rootsweb.com Just a short bit of geographical information... One of the reasons that so many persons from the East wound up in Henry county, Iowa and the surrounding areas in the early 1800s was the simple fact that in westward migration there were only two year 'round points of entry, via ferry when the river was open, into central/southern Iowa across the Mississippi. One was at Buffalo (just south of Davenport) at the foot of the Mississippi River Rapids. The other at Fort Madison further downstream. These rapids extended from LeClaire, Iowa to Buffalo cutting "The Bend in the Mississippi" off from the East except when the ice froze hard enough in the winter to be traveled across. Both the Buffalo and Fort Madison sites were used by those persons who had traveled from southern Ohio and Illinois. Those who were traveling north crossed the River at Dubuque or LeClaire. Those who crossed farther south crossed at Quincy, Illinois into Missouri. At Fort Madison the travelers could move north (at one period of time in the 1830s-1840s on a plank road) to Mt. Pleasant and pick up a good road to Fairfield (where my family settled), on to Ottumwa and then northwest to the center of the state and west across the prairie. The farm land around the Mt. Pleasant area is at the edge of the glacieral movement and while hilly, is deep and rich and well suited for small farming. I know from my own family's stories how thrilled the travelers from the east were to find such a beautiful area to settle, raise good crops and gardens and live in peace. I grew up in Van Buren county, just southwest of Mt. Pleasant about thirty miles as the crow flies, and one of our family jokes was to be sure to get the spading fork out of the ground at night or the handle would sprout and we'd have to cut down a hickory tree in the morning. The soil wasn't quite that rich, but we did raise a wonderful garden! Both my great-grandfather, Joseph Warren Fulton, and my grandfather, Pearl Loyal Fulton, were truck farmers. Hope this helps some of you as you follow your ancestors movements into and across the Hawkeye State.

Roberta R. (Fulton) Hirth Harriman, New York 10926 ******************************************************************* This is how I descend from Abraham and Margaret Fulton who came to Westmoreland County, Pa. in 1772 from Derry, Ireland according to the E.S.

I have gathered a bit of information on them. My father was born in Bucyrus, Ohio and most of my research has been in that state. My grandfather, Andrew and his brothers Abraham, John, David,and Cochrane all went to Ohio from Pennsylvania. I can place their father, Abraham and his wife Annie Smith with them in Ohio. I have a mountain of research to do on my direct line so I haven't done much on direct line relatives. I would like to find someone who is working on this line but so far I haven't had much luck.

Hi Roberta, Norma and All, I am a descendent of the Fultons/Steels/Pattersons/Henrys and several other families of the Augusta Co. (Borden/Beverly Manor) folks of the 18th century. My later ancestors from these lines are buried in the cemetery in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa and from prior notes it appears that there is a pattern of Augusta Co./Borden/Beverly names appearing in Henry Co. Iowa around Mt. Pleasant. Some of you may remember the elusive Margaret (or Martha) Fulton (supposed aunt of Steamboat) who married Samuel Steele of Augusta Co. (early 18th century). For a number of years I have tried to find the parents of this lady, but with no result what-so-ever. If we could ever find out who this lady was, it might show the Fultons of Henry Co. were related to Steamboat. If anyone has anything new on the above Margaret/Martha I would be enormously grateful. I am not related to the Thompsons discussed below.

Hello I am trying to trace my Husband's G Father's family. ROBERT FULTON was born in Glasgow [do not know year] at the age of approx 18 he walked to Liverpool where he joined the Army and was immediately shipped abroad to India. He stayed in India until he died. He married AGNES JAYNE JASPER [GASPER} who was possibly of Armenian extraction. They had six or possibly seven children, ROBERT was the eldest and only boy, EILEEN MARGARET [born Jan 1914?] was the eldest daughter [my husbands Mother]. I know there was a daughter called KATHERINE but do not have the names of any of the other girls. They all returned to Scotland on the death of their Father including AGNES JAYNE. EILEEN is too ill to help and I am not sure that she would as there is a great reluctance of this generation to speak of their backgrounds. There must be some members of the family still alive and living in Scotland. Please get in touch my husband ROBERT is also v ill and would love to trace his history. I have tried the INDIA list and have had no luck so far. Jeannette Lee luck so far. Jeannette Lee

She has a web page at http://www.IrishGenealogy.com/ that has a link to this Fulton branch. You asked how I am related to this line. At this time I do not know of any concrete evidence that ties my Fulton line to theirs. Abraham Fulton and Margaret Guthrie were members of the First Dunboe Church in Articlave, Ireland. They brought a letter from this church to America to substantiate that they were members in good standing of this congregation.

The photograph of the church is on the web page at: http://www.frontiernet.net/~elisa96/hirth/wwpg7.htm Rev.

So why do I take an interest in this line and in the widow Agnes line ? Becuase their lines carry the name Henry and may link to one of my collateral Henry Fulton lines. About five years ago I started my genealogical "quest" by accident. My aunt mentioned that there was an old family cemetery in the town where I was raised and had not known about. I discovered the grave of my gr-gr-gr-gr grandfather James Fulton who was born 1739 in Dalkeith/Musselburgh, Scotland and settled in Bethel, Sullivan Co. NY. In the manuscript, "Ancestor James Fulton of Fulton Settlement, Bethel, New York, and Descendants" by Rev. Chas. N. Sinnett , 1922, is a short autobiography that James Fulton wrote one month before he died in 1824. A copy is at New York State Library at Albany. James met Robert Fulton of steamboat fame on the Hudson River before 1809 and they felt that they were related. They felt that James’ half-uncle Henry Fulton was Robert’s grandfather. Henry Fulton was born ca. 1660-1685 in Dalkeith, Scotland. He moved to Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 1714-1727. His son Robert Fulton moved to Lancaster, PA in ?1731 or ?1763. This manuscript outlines the following relationships, but I have been unable to prove any of it with primary source information. Descendants of ---(from Forfar) Fulton 1 ---(from Forfar) Fulton -b: Bef 1649 in ?Forfar, Scotland +---wife1 of Forfar Fulton -b: in ?Forfar, Scotland 2 Robert(lost-at-sea) Fulton - b: Aft 1660 in Mussleburgh, Scotland,d: in ?at Sea, Bay of Biscay, Spain 2 Henry Fulton -b: Aft 1660 in Dalkeith, Mussleburgh, Scotland, d: in ?Londonderry, Ireland +Mary Brown b: , , Londonderry, Ireland Mary has a brother Hugh Brown who is alive in 1769 when James visits Ireland. 3 Robert Fulton b:Abt 1730,Londonderry,Ireland,d: PA. +Lass from Londonderry b: in ?, , Londonderry, Ireland, d:in PA 4 Robert(steamboat) Fulton *2nd Wife of ---(from Forfar) Fulton: +---wife2 of Forfar Fulton --- 2 John Fulton b: Aft 1662 in Mussleburgh, Scotland, d: in ?,Mussleburgh, Scotland +---wife1 ---1 b: in ?, , , Scotland 3 Henry Fulton b: Bef 1725 in ?, , Scotland d: in ?, ,Ireland 3 Mary Fulton b: Bef 1726 in ?, , Scotland d: in ?, ,USA (Mary and her brother Henry went to Ireland to join their half-Uncle Henry's people. Mary came to America with Robert, half-Uncle Henry's son. Two conflicting dates of this migration are listed in the memoirs. One states they went to America in the 4rth year of King George II (This would be about 1731). Perhaps this is a transcription typo and should be King George III. In another section the memoir states that they left for Philadelphia in 1763 and in another section it states that James left for America twenty years after Mary and we know James left Sept 1782 and arrived Jan 1783. *2nd Wife of John Fulton: +---wife2 ---2 b: in ?, , , Scotland 3 James FULTON b: August 07, 1739 in Dalkeith/Musselburgh, Sct, d: November 23, 1824 in Fulton Settlement Bethel, Sullivan Co., NY Robert Fulton (steamboat) and my James Fulton may have drawn incorrect conclusions about their relationship based on coincidence of similar names rather than on fact. Robert's father died when he was young and so did James' father, so their understanding of their paternal lines may not have been detailed. If in fact my Robert Fulton arrived 1763, that would suggest that he is a different man than Robert Fulton, the tailor and father of Robert (steamboat) Fulton. So I continue to try to find my Robert Fulton somewhere in PA and make connections back to Londonderry. Patricia, please let us know how you are related to the Abraham Fulton/ Margaret Guthrie family. Thanks, Roberta R.

I will carbon copy the Fulton discussion list in case there are other researchers who are interested in exchanging information with you. One of your interesting links points to a biographical sketch of Samuel Greenlee FULTON b 1 April 1858 in Washington Township, Greene Co,PA (p 1460 from Beers, J.H. an Co., Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington Co, Pennsylvania, (Chicago 1893). It states that Stephen Fulton, grandfather of Samuel Greenlee FULTON, was born in West Bethlehem township, Washington Co., Penn, near the Greene county line, where his father owned a farm, upon which he had settled upon his arrival in this country, at an early day, from his native Ireland. Have you checked the land records in West Bethlehem Township, Washington Co, PA to determine when the immigrant Fulton settled in this area ? Keep in mind that these land records may reside in a different county than Washington Co., whose evolution, along with Greene Co are as follows: Greene Co PA formed 1796 from Washington Co PA Washington Co PA formed 1781 from Westmoreland Co PA Westmoreland Co PA formed 1773 from Bedford Co PA Bedford Co PA formed 1771 from Cumberland Co PA Cumberland Co PA formed 1750 from Lancaster Co PA Lancaster Co PA formed 1729 from Chester Co PA Also who were his neighbors and when did they settle in the area ? Answers to these questions may help you to determine from what area of Ireland your ancestor came from. Also, do you know what churches they attended ? Roberta R.

Have you heard of any of this clan? > Sincerely, Betty Jane Fulton Garcia Dear Betty Jane, There are several distinct Fulton lines that resided in Clarion Co, PA, in Armstrong Co, PA and in Westmoreland Co, PA in the late 1700 early 1800's. Are you familiar with the widow Agnes line and the Abraham Fulton/Margaret Guthrie line ? If not, I recommend you use the search facilty for this list to look at the old notes on these lines. ROOTSWEB has now provided on menu-driven interface to search the archives of the discussion lists. It can be reached at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Specify fulton-l, and then specify search strings such as widow Agnes or Guthrie - that will provide you access to much that has been previously been discussed on the list regarding these lines. There are several David Fultons in the widow Agnes branch born in the early 1800's as documented in Robert D. Fulton's book "The Family of Agnes Fulton", but they do not quite fit the profile of your David Fulton. Of course it is possible that Robert D. Fulton's material is incorrect or not complete (with this hobby, material is never "finished" and complete, but always evolving). By the way, Robert D. Fulton published the Fulton Family Letter newsletter for several years. Let me know if you are interested in borrowing a copy of them or the Fulton CD (approx 900 pages of information). Of interest is your Wayne Jackson Fulton 1895-1960 because the name JACKSON appears in the widow Agnes Fulton family. There are others studying the widow Agnes line such as Ben Fulton (who used to have a searchable widow Agnes Fulton data base online), Percy London, Homer Fulton, Ralph Fulton, Willis Knox. You will find them in the archives. SOURCE: Fulton, Robert Doyle, "The Family of Agnes Fulton (1750-1826)" privately published, 1980. Copy at LDS Salt Lake City US/CAN Book Area 929.273 F959fr 1988 and US/CAN Film Area 1321152, item 5. (This means you can order this book on microfilm from your local LDS). He also provided corrections and revision in 1988, but I do not know if this has been microfilmed yet. Description: (p.11) Agnes Fulton (1750-1826) with her four sons James, Cochran, Henry, and Robert immigrated from County Derry (Londonderry) Ireland to Philadelphia in 1794. The voyage between Belfast and Philadelphia took 13 weeks and 3 days. The family remained in Westmoreland Co, PA until the Spring of 1801, when they joined other families moving to Armstrong Co, Pa. Because of the 6 year time frame (1794-1801) some speculate that she may have come from Ireland as an indentured servant. Judge Peter Clover, in his History of Clarion County, Pennsylvania, lists 10 men setting out from Eastern Pennsylvania in 1800. Agnes and her 3 sons are not among the group he lists, but he does mention Agnes Fulton and her three sons were among those who arrived in 1801 (Robert died in New Derry, Penn. in 1800). At that time they were living in a cabin well away from the settlement and apparently unknown to those in the settlement for some time. (p.13)James Jackson Fulton was born in County Derry, Ireland, and lived there until his mid teens when he came to America with his mother and three brothers in 1794. They first settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Clarion County, Pennsylvania. In the Fall of 1800 James and 10 others starting exploring western Pennsylvania on foot. They made their way to Rimersburg in the northwestern part of the state. They agreed that this was the place where they wished to settle their families. They decided that one would return to their home and return with the families. The one to make the trip was decided by casting lots - James made the return trip to Westmoreland County. He gathered the families. The caravan consisted of the women and children on horses carrying their cooking utensils and other articles. The men followed on foot. After a long and toilsome journey they reached their new home safely. They did not even have cabins or shanties in which to take shelter. They agreed all to work together, cut and carry logs and put up a building each day until there was a home for each family. The first table that James Fulton had was a puncheon split from a large log, holes bored in each end and stocks put in for legs. After the housing was completed they next cleared the land. Their food was what they could find -- deer, bear, wild turkey, etc. The clothing was home spun, both woolen and linen. The women had to card the wool which they spun by hand as described by James Nelson Craig. Flour was scarce and as a substitute they would boil wheat. This, with potatoes, and the game they killed, was their fare. Descendants settled in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nebraska, California, Louisiana, Florida, Wyoming, Idaho and elsewhere. Intermarried families include Blankenbaker, Flitcraft, Hendrick, Hunsicker, Meyers.

Hi Listers. I'm new to this list and searching the parents of Anna Agnes Fulton (also known as Ann Fulton; Margaret Anna Fulton), b. 1822, m. Henry Karr/Carr/Kerr in 1839 in Ohio Co, WV. At least one son was born in Monroe Co, OH. The family later moved to Jackson Co, WV. This is the sum-total of my Fulton line, so ANY help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Deanna

Dear Douglas, Although I do not know about your Fulton family, I also am interested in Fultons in the Stewarton area. On the Fulton-l discussion list, you can read the archived notes regarding Stewarton and Ayrshire. ROOTSWEB has now provided on menu-driven interface to search the archives of the discussion lists. It can be reached at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Specify fulton-l, and then specify search strings such as Stewarton, Fenwick, Kilmaurs for information on that area or specify Ayrshire for broader information. That will provide you access to much that has been previously been discussed on the list regarding that area of Scotland. There is an interesting biographical sketch on John Fulton of Fenwick who created an elaborate Orrery. Use the search string Timeline, for some general information on Fulton origins. I will carbon copy the discussion list with this note in case someone on the list has more information for you. Below is some information from the LDS site. Although I do not see your Hugh PARKER chr 27 Oct 1771 at Stewarton, Ayrshire, SCT, it does seem to be the same family. You may want to order the LDS microfilm of the Stewarton old parochial records or surrounding parishes. Although the handwriting is VERY difficult to read for these early records, you may be able to piece together some more of the family. ***************************************************************** >From LDS site online at http://www.familysearch.org/ using a custom search for the family in the British Isles in the IGI and then in the Ancestral File.
