Greetings, Has anyone ever looked into the Henry Fulton who is buried at Tyrone City, Blair Co Pa, and who was an 1812 war soldier? Tyrone is on the very north tip of Blair Co ( I believe this is Tyron City.) Keep in mind this is near to ClintonPa. Could this be the Henry Fulton of 1788 of Pine Creek, Clinton Co Pa, & in 1799 was on the tax assemssment list with 30 acres in the same place?? Could he have been the ansestor of the query below? I would be very interested in hearing form anyone who has info on this Henry Fulton. I hope to take a trip to the National Archive in NYC with my sister, Roberta, very soon . Maybe I can find some more on Henry. Sources: National Gen Soc Quarterly Vol 16 June 1953 No. 2 pg 46 Fultons in Centre & Clinton Co PA, pg 1; by Leonard A Fulton Thanks!
