General Notes: Husband - John Fulton

---

He was reared in wealth and luxury, and well educated. His father built him a cotton factory on Muddy Run, three miles above Oxford, Chester County, Pennsylvania. John ran this mill until it was burned down. Then his father built a paper mill on the site. Here John carried on paper making for several years and during this time manifested a considerable disposition to be sportive and extravagant. He was unmarried, tall, good-looking, dark complexioned, always well dressed and disposed to be high-minded or aristocratic. He went south to Virginia and Georgia, and was fortunate in getting a good lucrative position as Superintendent of a Cotton Factory. While in the South he took great pleasure in visiting his friends in the North and, being a great gentleman, was always gladly received. Shortly after a visit, he returned to Petersburg, Virginia, where after a very short illness of which his friends and relatives in Chester County knew nothing, he died. It was about 1854, that his father received a paper from Petersburg, in which was an obituary notice marked around with pen and ink, giving a brief account of his sickness and death and that he was buried by his friends with funds in his possession, but left no further Estate.
