General Notes: Husband - John Fulton
He was born in Ireland, where he received a good education, and came to America between 1790 and 1795. He landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, remaining there for some time.
Soon after marriage he and his wife moved to a farm in Maryland. They eventually left Maryland, and crossing the mountains located on the home farm in Hanover township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, then called Wimbleton, patented by William Campbell about 1796, and sold by Campbell to Morton, and by Morton to Fulton about 1802.
He prospered after his location on the farm in Hanover township, year after year adding to his possessions, until he became an extensive landowner. He was an ardent admirer of fine cattle; and took great pride in stock. When he first came to Hanover township, the conveniences for keeping stock were very limited. He constructed a rude feed-mill by making a hole or mortar in a rock in which the grain was ground by hand with a wooden pestle. He was known as the best and most careful stockman in the township. His cattle, when fat, were driven to Pittsburgh, where a butcher, named Taggart, slaughtered and sold the animals, holding the hide and tallow of each for his services and returning to the owner the full price received for the meat.
Politically he was a Democrat, and in religion one of the leading members of the Associate Reformed Church of Harmon's Creek, later the United Presbyterian Church of Paris.
