Much of the following information about William and Mary Coalman and their children is taken from the The William and Mary Coalman Fulton family Bible found in Shelby, North Carolina by Mrs. Peggy Walker and the Hurley family. The Bible was most generously returned to the Fulton family in March of 1999.
-
MARY COALMAN was born 1 September 1789, probably in Virginia, the daughter of Abagil (Abagail ?) and Abraham Coalman.
-
In the William and Mary Coalman Fulton Family Bible we find that MARY COALMAN married WILLIAM FULTON on 12 January 1813 in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio.

The William and Mary Coalman Fulton family Bible lists twelve children born to the couple.

-
On page 7 of her work "The James Fulton and Related Family Histories" Marjorie Mack Oetting gives information that WILLIAM'S and MARY'S marriage date was registered in an old Ross County record book along with that of JAMES and REBECCA FULTON, ALEX and
WILLIAM, JR. There was no date on the registration.
[James and Rebecca Green's eldest child was Alexander
Robert, however, William and Mary Coalman Fulton also had a son named Alexander]
-
MARY COALMAN, first wife of WILLIAM FULTON, died in Wapello County, Iowa in May,1850.
-
The Iowa Mortality Schedule of those persons who died between June 1, 1849 and May 31,1850 gives us the only additional information that we have about MARY COALMAN FULTON. The entry is as follows:
Fulton, Mary C., age 55, died Wapello County, May, 1850, Infl. lungs, born Virginia.
We do not know what the abbreviation "Infl." means. It is possible that it may mean inflammed, a terminology that applied to several diseases including pneumonia and tuberculosis. - No information from Fort Madison or Lee County, Iowa can be found to support the statement by MARY ANN WELLS MUNHALL FULTON that MARY COALMAN FULTON died in Fort Madison, Iowa in 1850.
