Elijah Fulton, son of William Fulton of Fawn Township, York County,
Pennsylvania, arrived in Clinton Township, Franklin County, Ohio about
1800 as a result of his participation, along with his brothers Hugh,
James and John, in the 1791-1795 war fought by General Anthony Wayne
against the Ohio Indians that ended August 4, 1795 by treaty.
The brothers had travelled down the Ohio River to Limestone, Kentucky,
where they entered military service.  After the war they moved to
Chillicothe, and then to Columbus.  In Clinton Township the brothers
settled on military lands (Elijah on Township 1, Range 18, United States
Military Lands, what is now River Road and Dodridge Street near the
Olentanngy River, James on Township 1, Section 3, Range 18).
Elijah and his wife Elizabeth Henderson raised 4 children in Franklin
Township; William Fulton, my great great grandfather, Mary Fulton, James
Fulton, and Margaret Fulton.
Elijah Fulton died in November 1813, and is buried in the Union Cemetary
near their home.       Tom Fulton August 22, 1999
