Since I live in Loudoun Co., VA (7 miles from Leesburg), I have had occasion to do some research for a number of people at the court house and at our genealogy library (The Thomas Balch Library for History & Genealogy). A member of the Loudoun County Genealogy Club has been doing research, for a number of years, on the various names of early settlers in Loudoun Co. He uses court records, family bibles, cemeteries, etc. He has donated his research to the Balch Library as the "Charles Blair Tavenner Collections". In his Collection - "Marriages in Loudoun County -FA through FU", he shows 66 marriages under "Fulton family", and has shown family connections where he found records to support his information. Regarding the Robert Fulton whose will was probated in 1798, he shows that Robert "lived in PA until 1775" (he did not show a wife's name, but showed that he lived in the Shelbourne Parish of Loudoun Co. In another book of will abstracts, it shows that a Robert Fulton witnessed the will of Henry Oxley of Loudoun Co., VA, on February 6, 1776 and was proven at court in Loudoun Co. October 13, 1777 by R.F. Fulton, Brittain Oxley and Ann Oxley. I have a copy of his will and inventory. This Robert also was shown as "security" for the marriage of David Fulton (c. 1771-1823) & Rachel Smith October 29, 1787 and Robert "attested to the age of Rachel" [and identified by Mr. Tavenner as the son of Robert Fulton (1798)]. David & Rachel Fulton had a son Robert S. Fulton, m. (1) 1822 Sara E. Gore and (2) 1830 Tracey (Humphries) Daniel. An appraisal of the estate of Robert Fulton (1798) was made on Nov. 29, 1798 by: Joseph Carr, John Gibson, Dave Ceaches(?) and Joseph Gore. David paid "tithe in Shelbourn Parish" 1775; was a grantee 1792 Jefferies Br. (?). David & Rachel (Smith) Fulton had a son David who married Feb. 9, 1826 Phoebe Gibson. There is another marriage recorded for a David Fulton who married in 1821 Jane Carr. [Note that J. Carr, J. Gibson and J. Gore were all named in the appraisal report for the estate of Robert Fulton (1798) - possibly the fathers of Jane Carr, Phoebe Gibson and Sara E. Gore (??) Another Robert Fulton, (identified on the marriage records of Mr. Tavenner --no birth or death date) m. Sarah Powell in 1792 (dau. to Elisha Powell). Yet another Robert Fulton marriage (identified by Mr. Tavenner), shows "(1763-1841) [son to James Fulton-grandson of Robert Fulton - will 1798], buried in Leesburg Methodist Cem., m. Hannah (??) (no date)". In the will of this Robert Fulton, written July 4, 1836, proven in court May 10, 1841, he does not mention the name of his first wife (Hannah ??), but identifies his "beloved second wife, Mary". He mentions sons in his will - David Powell, Elisha Wynkoop, Robert Massie, John (who m. Jane Taylor March 13, 1827), William (who m. in 1859 Mary J. Elgin), daughter-in-law Jane E. Fulton, and grandchildren. I believe Pat Stark discussed the particulars of this will. [James Fulton mentioned above - his will written Sept. 1, 1861, proven Dec. 9, 1872, appears in WB2X, p. 414, and his inventory in WB 2Y, p. 199 (presented to court June 21, 1873) - he mentions that his land adjoined that of Margaret Fulton, Robert Friday and William Fawley and identifies his wife as "Sarah Fulton", appointed his son John H. Fulton as his Administrator, witnessed by James T. Fry and Joseph Furr. James Fulton states in his will that "my administrator shall take into possession a certain piece of land supposed to be 30 acres that I hold by possession and paying tax for many years which will more fully appear by receipts that which land belonged to heirs in the South if living; that whatever interest I may have in said land be used for the benefit of my children, that no trespass be allowed". He does not name his other children in the will. This James Fulton is identified by Mr. Tavenner (in the marriage records) as being the son of Hugh Fulton and Susannah Lybough. In the Loudoun Co. Cemetery Record book E-J, (published by the Loudoun Co. Genealogy Club Sept. 7, 1993) there is an "Ebenezer Cemetery (new) near Round Hill, page 26 (about 7 miles west of Leesburg), there are quite a few Wynkoop family members buried in this cemetery, also several "Allder" members. In the Grove Methodist Cemetery, Grove Methodist Meeting House (between Rt. 704 and 769 near Hamilton & Woodburn, VA), there are several Powell members and 2 Wynkoop members buried there. A Sarah J. Powell, is shown as the daughter of Jos. & E. Lacock. I hope this additional info on the Fultons of Loudoun Co. is helpful to someone and is not confusing. I have more info but I believe most of it has been discussed by Pat Stark and Roberta Hirth. If anyone on the list needs a copy of a will or other info. that I can obtain from the Loudoun Co. court, or the Balch Library, please e-mail me and I will see what I can locate for you.
