Folks, Norma Jennings sent a note to the list that corrected the information I had provided from the Gallia Co, OH History book. Unfortunately ROOTSWEB did not forward the note, I believe because of its length. The part at the end of this note regarding the descendants of James Fulton I will try to resend to the server in several notes. I will use the subject James Fulton d 1753 Augusta Co., Va Part I, etc. Please bear with me if I have problems getting it through. Norma, thanks again for the clarification. Roberta ********************************************************************************* Subject: Erroneous info on Gallia Co., Ohio Fultons Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 16:01:21 -0800 (PST) From: "Norma F. Jennings" <njennings@lisco.net> To: FULTON-L@rootsweb.com Unfortunately, the Gallia County History Book confuses two different Fulton families. James Fulton of Gallia County is NOT a descendant of the family that lived on Moffett's Creek and in Calfpasture. The birth, marriage, and death records of James Fulton (August 10, 1755, and died February 14, 1834) were recorded in Thomas Mitchell's Family Bible which is now owned by the McClure Family. Gallia James may be a descendant of another John and Sarah Fulton that settled in what is now Rockingham county whose son William is believed to have gone to Gallia County. (i.e. William Fulton(5) born circa 1730, probably in Pennsylvania or New England. Died 13 April 1821 Gallia Co., Ohio. He testified in Rockbridge that he taught Joseph Graham and is mentioned as a schoolteacher in 1758.) James Fulton, the oldest son of John Fulton and Mary Steele, grandson of the first James, who is named in John Fulton's will, married Betsy Mitchell and died in Augusta County, Virginia. He DID NOT GO TO GALLIA COUNTY, Ohio. He also married late in life and had no children. His estate was inherited by his wife's sister's grandchildren. The folks in Ohio are not descended from John Fulton and Mary Steele. There are no descendants here. The following is the correct and fully documented descendancy of James Fulton of Augusta County, Virginia: --------------------------- Descendants of James Fulton *************************************************************************** (Please see subsequent notes for the descendancy chart)
