General Notes: Husband - James Fulton

---

He was a noted hunter. In 1793, he found himself penetrating the deep wilderness of what is now Middlesex township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He was born in Ireland, emigrated to Butler County in the year mentioned above.
He was a man of indomitable energy and industrious habits. The circumstances of his death are peculiar: In by-gone days, it was the invariable custom for farmers to supply harvest hands with good liquor. One morning during harvest, Mr. Fulton started, before breakfast, for Oliver David's distillery, which was one mile north of Glade Mill and five miles from his farm. He arrived there, procured his liquor and was returning home, when, as it was supposed, he was seized with an epileptic fit, to which he was subject; knowing that it was coming upon him, he dismounted, tied his horse to the fence, sat down and there died. In that position he was found about 9 o'clock by James Cochran.
He was said to be a decided genius, and exhibited this natural ability by frequently inventing some piece of machinery or making some contrivance useful to the people at that day. He once attempted to accomplish perpetual motion, and for weary months and even years, he thought and planned and schemed, until, perplexed beyond endurance, he finally abandoned the project as an impossibility. [HBC 1883, 244]

He occupied land near General Markle's Fort, on Sewickley creek, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, but later removed to Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he remained until his death at the age of sixty-five years. His remains were interred at Glade Run, near Bakerstown.
