Hi James, I am responding to your question thru the list, as there might be others who have a like question. I am putting this article on this list, more for a discussion topic. When I read it in Scotland, I thought others might find it interesting to read, also. My ancestor who left Scotland in 1882 and came to America in 1783, is James Fulton of the Fulton Settelment of Bethel NY. see the web page -----Original Message----- From: JamesJoy97@aol.com <JamesJoy97@aol.com> To: fwolfe@frontiernet.net <fwolfe@frontiernet.net> Date: Friday, April 21, 2000 6:28 PM Subject: Re: [FULTON] Fw: Robert Fulton - Steamboat\Ayrshire Man?
