I read the request about Charles Jay Fulton, born in Hamburg IA, received 4/13/00. My greatuncle, Charles S. Fulton, was born in LaPorte IN, March 12, 1859, to Abram Charles Fulton and Theoda Smart. They later moved to Momence IL (before 1862), where my grand- mother, Mary Elizabeth Fulton was born March 12, [yes, they must have shared parties] 1867. Before 1871 they moved to Atlantic IA, which isn't too far from Hamburg. Abram Charles Fulton was descended from Robert Fulton, son of Abraham Fulton and Margaret Guthrie [or Guthry] of Antrim County, Ireland. Abram Charles and Theoda Smart had ten children, all of whom survived into adulthood. There may be some connection between her father and Charles S. Fulton. Did she send the date of her father's birth? I don't have the date of Charles S. Fulton's death. When my grandmother died in 1926, her obituary gave his residence as Lewis IA, which is a short distance south of Atlantic. His wife's name was Millie. I enjoy your site, and would like more information on migration trails. One book said the trail between LaPorte IN and Momence IL was called the Hubbard Trail, but I haven't found anything more about it. Thanks for your good work. Mary Droege
