Thanks Bill & ALL for your quick answer to my question --- "When did FULTON Co,KY become a county ? " --- January 15, 1845. Now, if I could just remember that Hickman is in Fulton Co, KY & NOT in Hickman Co, KY... AND that FULTON ,TN is in OBION Co? DUH, Terry p.s. - Is Hickman Twsp. (mentioned in the 1840 Census) in Fulton Co,KY or Hickman Co, KY ...today ?
