He was the child of James Fulton and Ann Colwell- Scotch-Irish who immigrated to Nova Scotia. After living in various places in Nova Scotia and marrying Mary Simpson who lived from about 1754 to April 1799, John took the Patriot side in the American War of Independence. Despite some colorful adventures this did not achieve success in Nova Scotia obviously. John settled somewhere in Maine before settling on the Canadian Refugee Tract in Ohio, where he received 2 grants of 323 acres. The grant is in Fairfield County right on the border of Franklin County. John, his second wife Christianna Cock and an extended family including his daughter's family- Jane or Janet Fulton, who married Daniel Ross, and another son John Simpson Fulton lived in this area. Perhaps more. Some, including John, but apparently not Christianna, are buried in Truro Presbyterian Cemetery (aka Madison-Truro Cemetery) Madison Township, Franklin County, Ohio. They were moved from Taylor Graveyard where first buried during a road interchange construction in 1965. Taylor Graveyard was located 200 yards south of the end of Taylor Rd. which runs south one-half mile from the Columbus and Lancaster Pike- State Route 21 in Franklin County, Ohio. Taylor Graveyard also contained Taylors from the same area of Nova Scotia- Colchester County. Perhaps a Presbyterian stronghold? Fulton was associated with James Crawford who served with him and settled in the Tract in Franklin County. He was also associated with Jonathan Eddy who led the rebellion in Nova Scotia. Eddy also received grants, but no one with that name settled, so perhaps they were sold. This is a sketch of what I have(mostly from the work of Rick Vance). More information is available if you have questions. I'd love to connect with those who are related to the Fulton or Ross descendants. I have information on the Nova Scotia family, but who are the descendants, and where did they go in the US? John and his first wife Mary Simpson are my fourth great grandparents by the way.
