I can add a little bit about the descendants of James Fulton and Jane Hays. There was no evidence that they were related to Abraham Fulton and Margaret Guthrie in the Craighead book that I had on that family and donated to the local library. However, there are descendants of Abraham and Margaret in Louisa County, Iowa. They had the hotel in Columbus City during the early days here. Henry was a preacher and the family here are descended from him. James Fulton, b. May 17, 1795 in Pennsylvania, d. June 10, 1858 and Jane Hays, b. 1794 in Pennsylvania, d. 1869, of Butler Co., Pa. had nine children. According to funeral home records, Robert Hays Fulton b. 8-13-1829 in Butler Co., Pa. d. 10-26-1913, son of James and Jane (Hays) Fulton, married Margaret Fleming, dau. of James Flemng, b. in Ireland & Jane Black. b. in Ireland. She was b. 7-13-1837 in Butler Co., Pa. and died May 8, 1913. Robert came to Washington Co. with his brother William ca. 1873 and purchased 223 1/2 acres in Ceddar Twp. Robert had children James B., George b. 1860, m. 1 December 1892 to Sadie Benson; Clara Jane; Harper Allen; Emma Lucille; and Elizabeth Ann. William Fulton, carpenter, b. 8-10-1834 in Butler Co., Pa. d. 7-14-1924, son of James Fulton and Jane Hays of Butler Co., Pa. No known spouse or descendants. The Washington County History book in the Washington County Genealogical Library states the following: Robert H. Fulton, b. 1829 m. May 3, 1859 to Margaret Fleming. Their children were James B. b. 1859, m. 1888 at the age of 29; George M. b. 1850,, m. 1892 at the age of 32; Clara Jane; Harper Allen; Emma Luella, and Elizabeth Ann. >From 1859 through 1870, there are numerous land record transactions for Margaret, Robert, William, James, Ebenezer, and Joseph Fulton. No known connection that I can ascertain from the other names to William and Robert. John and James Fulton were both from Rockingham Co., Va. and my family (Hugh) were from Augusta Co., Pa. James Fulton from Butler Co. is not my Fulton family so I have not researched this any further. But these names may help fill in your family tree. Norma Jennings
