General Notes: Husband - Alexander Fullerton

---

In 1768, he sailed from Belfast, Ireland, bringing with him his wife, his sister, Elizabeth, (who married a Monroe,) and one son named Thomas. They landed at Philadelphia and settled at Bridgeport, Pennsylvania.
He was a soldier in the Continental army, having enlisted under Colonel Washington. Having been captured by the British, he, with others, was kept in confinement for three months in an old sugar house on Long Island, and those dying there were buried on the beach. At length he was set at liberty along with twelve companions. For substance they were furnished with bread containing lime and ground glass, which caused the death of ten of them before they reached home. Of those that reached home, two died within a week, and he in ten days.
