Nottingham Presbyterian near this former church site has a stained glass window in honor of this couple.
Their son Hugh Ramsey Fulton was author of the genealogy book (available online) called Genealogy of the Fulton Family... With a Record of Known Descendants of Hugh Ramsey of Nottingham and Joseph Miller of Lancaster County PA, written in 1900.
There is a chapter on the Millers in the Fulton history because James Jefferson Fulton's father Capt. James Fulton as a widower (husband of Margaret Miller) took in two of the orphaned children of Margaret's brother Stewart, son of Joseph Miller, and the children were raised as siblings. Those fostered niece-nephew were John Joseph Miller and Mary Jane Miller (later Pickel). She is buried in Middle Octorara Presbyterian cemetery at Quarryville, where James Jefferson Fulton and Nancy Ramsey Fulton made professions of faith earlier in their lives.
The article at right is an account by "Joe" and Mary Jane's sister Harriet, about their grandfather Joseph and father Stewart, and their orphaning. Harriet is buried in Montgomery County, N.Y., with her foster parents/aunt and uncle Banks (Mary "Polly" Miller), memorial # 145698097.
Clearly, all data in the (incomplete) Miller chapter in the Fulton genealogy came from the Winslow Miller family, who shared this area before moving to Lancaster City. It is not yet clear who raised Winslow Miller's father Augustus Banks Miller, who is omitted from both the Banks and Fulton accounts of foster care. Similarly, even though two Miller daughters married Pickel/Pickell sons, that side of the family does not report on this, and the Fulton account is that one of those girls came with them while the other went to?? Stewart, Jane and Margaret Miller's youngest sister Sarah, who went to Ashland County, Ohio, seems not to have taken any Millers with her (memorial # 13998480). Jane's Thompsons are a strong, and local, foster parent contender, but no account exists in support, other than that Augustus of Stewart lived in the same Smyrna area they did for a time and joined the church where Thompson children are buried. But, then the Fulton-Miller account's omissions of Thompson family details is especially confusing, implying he must not have been with them. Ditto the scantness of Baird details (Stewart was married to Martha Baird, whose sister in Baughman Cemetery had outlived her and remained local.)
The children of Joseph Miller omitted from the Fulton genealogy tree were Robert (the eldest, and executor of Joseph's will with Margaret's husband James Fulton, so that seems odd), William, Joseph, Rachel and Sarah -- possibly because they had died or moved away and were outside the experience of Augustus (Sarah, for sure, had moved).
Those additional children are listed in the Lancaster County court record, as part of prolonged debate about settling Joseph's intestate estate (chiefly a debate between Robert and William). But the records listed the children in apparent birth order. Margaret Fulton was second, after Robert, followed third by Jane and then William, Hannah, Stewart, Rachel, Mary "Polly," Joseph and Sarah. That pegs their birth ranges from the 1750s through 1780.
The Millers and Fultons had come from the Associate/Seceder brand of dissenting Presbyterianism. The Fultons and the Bankses of Harriet's account were church founders and leaders of that religious brand, well after Harriet's grandfather Joseph had helped effect a merger of the main branches of the Associate (Seceder) and Reformed (Covenanter) dissenting denominations.
So, some of this family or regional story is trackable by following Presbyterianism in the area and its networks across jurisdictions. Harriet's cousin/foster brother the Rev. Joseph Banks, parallel to this James Jefferson Fulton, founded an Associate church in Northfield, Ohio, where her account at right was from and near where the Associate seminary, previously run by her uncle Banks, moved after his death.
