General Notes: Husband - John Fulton

---

The pioneer ancestor of the American branch of this family, he was one of the old Faldon Clan, was in the Douglas Regiment at the battle of the Boyne Water, July 1, 1690, and later, to induce settlement, the offer of forty acres of land was made to the participants in the battle. John Fulton accepted this offer and settled in one of the border counties of Scotland, married a Scotch-Irish girl and lived there several years. Then, feeling that he had no right to the enjoyment of the land thus obtained, he voluntarily relinquished all his holdings and came to America, landing at New York, being accompanied by his wife and three sons-James, John, and ----, all of whom were born in Scotland. The family came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and settled in Sewickley township, John, however, settling in Lancaster County. He later came out to Westmoreland and joined his brother James. These two, finding settlers coming continually and feeling oppressed by their nearness, which they felt restricted them and drove away the game, united and moved to Butler County, Pennsylvania, near what became known as Bakerstown. Before his death James returned to Westmoreland County, and is buried at Sewickley Stone church. The third brother was last heard of near West Newton. A deed donating seven acres to the use of the Sewickley Stone Church given by John Fulton, the pioneer ancestor, is dated 1765.
