Samuel FULTON^[1]

1773 - 1850  (77 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Samuel FULTON
  Birth	1773	Washington Twp, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA   [2]
  Gender	Male
  Census	1790	Washington Twp, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA
  I suspect that the Samuel Fulton named in the 1790 Census is actually the father of Samuel 1773-1850. The 1790 and 1800 censuses only collected the name of the head of the household, and Samuel would have been 17 then. There were 2 males over 16 in the household, 1 under 16, and 4 females. I think it's highly unlikely that a boy of 17 would be in charge of 6 other people.

  Census	1803	Washington County, Ohio, USA
  This apparent record in the Ohio, U.S., Compiled Census and Census Substitutes Index, 1790-1890 seems to indicate Samuel Fulton living in "Tuskarawa, Washington, Ohio, USA." I do not believe there was ever a Tuskarawa/Tuscarawas Township in Washington County. There is a Tuscarawas County, about 80 miles north of Washington County, so it's possible that he lived there. I'm also not sure how big Washington County was at the state's founding in 1803. It's possible that what is now Tuscarawas County was originally part of Washington County.
