General Notes: Wife - Jane "Jennie" Fulton

---

An anecdote has it that Jane was courted by one Dr. Anderson, a professor of the first theological seminary in this country, located in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and at the same time by Wilson, and, being somewhat in love with both, left the question with her father to decide which one she should accept. After deliberation, he recommended Mr. Wilson as having the best visible means of gaining a good living. Mr. Wilson was rich, while Anderson was a young missionary preacher, liable to move from place to place.
