Title: Australian Dictionary of Biography 1788-1850

1835 Fulton, Henry (1761-1840), clergyman, was born in England. On 1 March 1788 he enrolled as pensioner at Trinity College, Dublin (B.A., 1792). He was ordained to the ministry of the established Church of Ireland by Bishop Barnard of Killaloe. He married Ann (1766-1836), daughter of Rev. James Walker of Water-ford and rector of St Cronan's, Roscrea, Killabe, in whose parish he served for a short time. William Knox, Barnard's successor, admired Fulton's scholarship and ability and gave him preferment. In the Irish rebellion of 1798 Fulton was implicated. He was convicted at Tipperary in August 1799 of seditious practices and sentenced to transportation for life. Unlike seven of the seventy-three political prisoners who sailed in the Minerva for Sydney from Cork, Fulton had not 'surrendered for self-transportation', although Bishop Knox thought he had and told the archbishop of Canterbury in 1807 that '[Fulton's1 Friends declared that his Confession was extorted by fear of a species of torture at that time too common'. Governor Hunter was somewhat perplexed how men like Fulton, 'bred up in a genteel life', should be employed, but the departure of Richard Johnson [q.v.], the principal chaplain, enabled Fulton to resume his profession. On 8 November 1800 he was conditionally pardoned and sent as an assistant chaplain to the Hawkesbury and then in February 1801 to Norfolk Island. Governor King 'would have given

him a Free Pardon but that [he awaited] an answer from Ireland or England respecting an application in his favour. Fulton did well at Norfolk Island, was granted a full pardon in 1805 and returned to the mainland in 1806. He did duty at Sydney and Parramatta for Samuel Marsden [q.v.], who was absent on leave in England, and he served on the Civil Court and the Commission of the Peace. He asked Knox, now bishop of Derry, to help him to gain a Crown chaplaincy an a part of the principal chaplain's stipend. This latter request aroused Marsden's wrath but the Colonial Office gave the governor a general authority to further Fulton's interests.

These proceedings were nullified by the rebellion in January 1808 against Bligh. Fulton admired Bligh's policy towards the Hawkesbury settlers and shared his dislike of the monopolists. He was in attendance at Government House for the greater part of the day of Bligh's arrest; he was then confined to his own house and interrogated, without success, by the rebels. On 30 January he was suspended from duty. He remained conspicuously loyal to Bligh, served as his private chaplain and declined to officiate publicly while the governor remained a prisoner. He was an emissary of Bligh when Colonel Foveaux [q.v.] arrived and took command. He denounced the rebel administration to Castlereagh - 'they are building a Babel' - and, with Gore, Palmer and the mpbells[qq.v.], signed an address of loyalty to Bligh. He received moral support from the former missionaries then resident in the colony, who wrote to their society in his favour. Fulton's relations with Protestants of all kinds were invariably cordial.

Fulton was restored to his situation by Governor Macquarie on 8january 1810. He went to England with Bligh to testify at Lieut Colonel Johnston's [q.v.] court martial, where he denied that a revolution would have broken out if the military had remained quiet. On 31 May 1811 he secured a regular Crown chaplaincy. On his return to the colony in the Mary in May 1812 he was retained in Sydney until on 18 June 1814 he was made resident chaplain in charge of Castlereagh and Richmond. Later the area of his ministration was diminished by the formation of new parishes. As Castlereagh stagnated Penrith became more important in his work. He remained active until his death at Castlereagh on 17 November 1840. His wife Ann had died at Castlereaghon 4 August 1836. They had seven children, of whom two died in infancy.

Fulton identified himself closely with the Hawkesbury, whose inhabitants he had championed in Bligh's time. He served on the bench until 1827 and promoted philanthropic and religious societies. The special interests of the Anglican church did not worry him much, except when Roman Catholicism was concerned. In 1833 he engaged in a controversy with Catholic apologists, in which he published Strictures upon a Letter lately writtcn by Roger Therry Esq., to Edward Blount Esq., Reasons why Protestants think the worship of the Church of Rome an idolatrous worship and A letter to the Rev W B Ullathorne. Three years later he led the 'Protestant party' in his district in its opposition to Governor Bourke's educational policy.

Education was Fulton's chief interest. He had always been a good scholar; the inventory of his library shows a wide range of books, with an emphasis on mathematics. On 11 July 1814 he opened a seminary at his new parsonage, Castlereagh House, where he instructed young gentlemen in classics, modern languages and 'such Parts of the Mathematics, both in Theory and Practice, as may suit the Taste of the Scholar'. Among his pupils was Charles Tompson junior [q.v.], whose Wild Notcs, from the Lyre of a Native Minstrel (1826) was dedicated to him. The first, and longest, piece in the volume, 'Retrospect', praised Fulton as a teacher and pastor.

1837 The late Mr. Humphrey Fulton, merchant in Maxwelltown, near Paisley, left two sons and two daughters. His eldest son William married Marion. eldest daughter of Mr. Henry Millar, minister of Nielston; his second son Robert married a daughter of Mr. Peter Scott, minister, Laigh church Paisley (her sister married Mr. Archibald Davieson, minister, Inchannan). His eldest daughter Margaret married to Mr. John M'Kerrel; his second daughter Mary, to Mr. Robert Bogg minister, Abbey-church, Paisley; they all have issue.

Mr. Humphrey Fulton, his two sons, and the said Mr. John M’Kerrel, were joint partners in trade for some time; Mr. M’Kerrel afterwards set up by himself; and in the year 1759 manufactured the first silk web ever was wrought in Paisley (John Wilson weaver) ; however, at the end of the said web, Mr. M’Kerrel dropt the siIk branch for some time, and sold his silk on hand and other utensils, to Mr. Humphrey Fulton and sons, when, about three months following, they commenced the silk.manufactory, in imitation of the Spittelfield manufactory.

I am informed, they received a premium. (Mr Humphrey Fulton died May, 27 1779)

The Times June 1998

1838 David Fulton 's name will not often be mentioned in the same breath as Frank Woolley's but the Kent opener obliterated one of the left-handed great's many records for the county with a double hundred founded on monumental concentration.

It was a day when statistics, stacked up in the course of a sturdy Kent rearguard, had the final say on a pitch which frustrated the life out of Yorkshire's bowlers. Kent made their highest total against Yorkshire and Fulton passed Wolley's innings of 188,. made in 1931. The game itself will be less deserving of nostalgic reflection.

The seeds of Kent's revival were in a last-wicket stand of 66 in their first innings between Ben Phillips and Min Patel, which brought order to the chaos of 99 for nine.

Fulton took guard at 11 o'clock on Friday morning, as Kent followed on 258 behind, and was finally out just before 3.30 pm yesterday, having occupied the crease for 623 minutes and faced 505 balls. There was a slightly farcical note to his dismissal as he was stumped off part-time spinner Darren Lehmann.

It was an extraordinary effort, given that he had scored only one previous. championship hundred, but his run-an-over tempo, after a deceptively fluent start, meant; that Kent never quite got into a position to set a realistic target.

At least the cricket retained its serious aspect in the morning session, which brought, Kent 78 runs in 32 overs, the bulk scored by Mark Ealharn. Fulton became so bogged down that he was stuck on 149 for 45 minutes and made only 19 before:lunch.

Ealham, in particular, took a heavy toll on Richard Stemp as he pitched short repeatedly, but he took 31 balls over the last two runs which brought him his first century of' the season. He celebrated with a fierce assault on the overworked slow left-armer and was caught in the deep off. Lehmann to end a stand of 210 in 80 overs.

Fulton soldiered on and, if his innings was short on memorable shots, it was certainly very high on application, a quality which has been lacking among his team-mates as they have chalked up just seven batting bonus points in nine matches, the lowest in the championship.

His songs were sung by Isobel Baillie, Doris Gambell, Heather Harper, Rene Soames, William Parsons, and many other singers of repute.

His most absorbing hobbies were reading (largely ancient and 16th century history), photography, gardening, and trying to play Bach on the piano. He professed that his favourite composers were Brahms and Sibelius.

For several years in the 1960's he had a regular series of programmes on BBC's Music to Remember, introducing his choice of records with little anecdotes about the history of a piece or its players.
