ROBERT FULTON HAS OLD COURT PAPERS OF 1774 ? Continued from Page One return an acct. of the same to the next court". The "vendue paper", dated the following November, lists personal property sold in com pliance with this order, and the amounts paid. Among the items listed were a horse, which brought 12 pounds (which would have been about $60 in American money), three shillings; three cows, which ranged in price from two pounds, 18 shillings, to three pounds, 11 shillings, three pence; "one still and nine hogs neads", 20 pounds; a spinning wheel, 8 shillings, one penny , Knives and forks, three shill ings; a dresser, three snilnngs, three pence; and books, one pound, one penny. One John Baishains is listed as the purchaser of most of the articles, with Catherine Baish ains (presumably his wife) as a frequent buyer. Another interesting paper in Mr. Fulton's collection is a tax receipt to his grandmother, dated March 6, 1839. It shows tax of $1.33 1/3 cents paid on about 130 acres of land, believ ed by Mr. Fulton to be the present Fulton farm. Throwing interesting light on the way the western part of the state was settled are the circumstances leading to the Fulton family's removal to Ma con County. Mr. Fulton's grandfather, the former said, was working on the Orange county plantation of Col. Mebane, when Col. Mebane came to this region as a mem ber of a party of surveyors to survey the county. The elder Fulton asked Col. Mebane to find a farm for him in this region, and the colonel chose the farm to which the Fultons moved, and on which Robert Fulton now lives. The farm has been In the Fulton family for 125 years. Mr. Fulton recalled that David and Jesse Fulton, both Revo lutionary soldiers, accompanied his grandparents to Macon County, and that both are bur ied In the Sugar Fork ceme tery. So far as he knows, only three other Revolutlonarp sol diers are buried in Macon County: a Williams, burled at Holly Springs, and two others buried at Sugar Fork, Daniel Bryson and a man, whose name Mr. Fulton does not know, who was killed in a battle with In dians in that section.
