Reference - Roberta Hirth's reply to Sharyn WIsely Anderson. My main interest is the Fultons of Lisburn Co Antrim, but in researching them I have found references to other Northern Ireland Fultons which I keep though have not tried to analyse. I have a copy of the Fulton section of the Grove Documents held in the Public Record Office in Belfast (Grove was a genealogist who was working before the records were lost in Dublin in 1922, and his transcriptions are sometimes the only record to survive). This shows that Rev Thomas was the first minister (Presbyterian) of Dunboe, but that before 1660 he had moved to present day Limavady known at that time as Drumachose or Newton-Limavady, from whence he was evicted at the Restoration of King Charles after the Cromwellian period. Limavady is about 12 or 14 miles west of Dunboe, still in Co Londonderry. The Grove Document also contains a summary of his will made on 27 Dec 1688 when he was again the minister of Drumachose, and this confirms the facts as set out by Roberta Hirth. Other references to Dunboe in the Grove Doc. are:- Index of Derry Wills - James Fulton of Dunboe died 1721 Hearth Money Roll for 1663(a form of tax) - Dunboe parish in Coleraine 1/2 Barony - Henry Fulton one hearth 2s(hillings) (two shillings was 1/10 of £1) Muster Roll of Ulster 1630 - a register of able bodied men over 16 years able to be called on to defend the country includes two Fultons, David and John in Coleraine Barony but does not give a more specific location. Subsidy Roll Co Londonderry 1662 has an entry - Dunboe Parish Goods - Robert Fulton of Ballymore valuation £6 Assessment £3 4s. (I do not know but suggest that Ballymore is one of the townlands into which the Parish of Dunboe is divided) There is a note saying that Ballywoolen townland of 238 1/2 acres is in Dunboe parish in Coleraine 1/2 Barony and in County Londonderry. Commonwealth Orderbook shows that Thomas Fulton was at Drumachose and receiving £60 yearly for the year from 28th Sept 1655 and it was made £80 yearly from 24 June 1657. He was struck off the salary list in 1658 because he had been put in possession of tythes. (Tythes were a levy nominally of 10%, hence tythe, of the annual produce of parishioners which was paid to their minister - this was normally the Anglican clergyman but during the Commonwealth when the King was deposed and Cromwell ruled it was granted to presbyterians in some cases - I am not familiar with all the details) Parliamentary Return of Protestant Householders 1740 Dunboe Parish - Robert Fulton, J Fulton and (surprisingly as this is a list of Fulton records) Robert Gutery - this looks remarkably like a spelling variant of Guthrie as in Abraham Fulton and Margaret Guthrie. There is no explanation of why this name was included in the Fulton list. This seems to be all the Fultons linked to Dunboe in this section of the Grove Docs. The full reference in PRONI is T.808 pages 4768 to 4776. Trevor Fulton
