Many of them were bap- tized in the Dutch church at Mackackemcek ( Deer Park), near Kingston.

(IV) Robert, son of Hugh Fulton, was baptized in 1685. We find a Robert Fulton in Boston among the early Scotch-Irish set- tlers. His age, the names of his children and all other evidence obtainable, point to him as the Robert, baptized 1685. The fragmentary records of Boston make abso- lute proof impossible. Doubtless others of this family settled in Chester and Lancaster counties, Pennsylvania. The name indi- cates relationship. Robert was called a la- borer in two deeds, the only records found of him. His wife was Elizabeth. He bought of Arthur Savage and wife Rachel. as administrators of the estate of Mary Clough, daughter of James Clough, late leather dresser of Boston, house and land on Orange street. then occupied by Daniel McKain and Elizabeth Wheeler.
