Biography

William Fullerton was born in 1705 in County Tyrone, Ireland. His parents were William Fullerton and Jennett (Beath) Fullerton and were of Scotch-Irish descent. In 1728 the family emigrated to New England; their ship was originally destined for Philadelphia, but due to bad weather it stopped at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Maine instead. They settled in Boothbay^[1].

The name of William's wife is unknown, but there are records for their children^[1]:

1. James, born 1733; married Martha Hutchinson

2. Elizabeth, born 1735; married William Gilmore

3. Margery, born 1737; married Patrick McKown

4. John, born 1739; married Jean McCobb

5. Margaret, born 1741; married William McClintock

6. Jennett, born 1743; married David Gilmore

7. Marian, born 1745; married Henry Bond

8. Catherine, born 1747; married Thomas Decker

9. Mary, born 1749; married Samuel Stinson

10. Ebenezer, born 1750; married Eunice Beath

William's date of death is uncertain, as there was no record of his death and his tombstone has been lost. In 1763 he purchased a plot of land in Boothbay, so he was alive at least until then^[1].
