11. Major Hugh Fulton (1759-1816) (25) (Hugh2, James1). When Captain James Tate(26) was dying at Guilford, he made his friend Hugh Fulton promise to care for his wife and children. Hugh later married Capt. Tate's widow, Sarah Hall Tate, 4 May 1785. (27) Sarah Hall Tate was born 19 December 1751. After Hugh's marriage to Sarah, they moved to Kentucky. [In her account of Major Hugh Fulton in the DAR records, Caroline Dayton Engle mistakenly had this Hugh Fulton listed as the son of John Fulton. This is incorrect as are many of the older DAR records. John Fulton named his eldest son, James (b. 1755) in his will. Hugh Fulton was mentioned as the youngest son of John which would have placed him as born well after 1759. (The birthdate of Major Hugh Fulton). This Hugh Fulton lived in Mason and Nicholas County, Kentucky. Hugh Fulton and his brother Samuel Fulton, the surveyors, lived in Fleming County, Ky. Hugh Fulton of Flemingsberg, Kentucky deposed in Augusta County, Virginia that he did not marry Sarah Tate.]
