Alexander Fulton (Louisiana)

Alexander Fulton (1763–1816) was an American property owner and pardoned insurrectionist. Born in Scotland, he was a Pennsylvanian who was involved in the Whiskey Rebellion who wrote George Washington requesting clemency in autumn 1794 but "Despite this plea, Fulton was among the insurgents exempted from the general pardon issued by Henry Lee...However, he eventually was included among the ten insurgents named in a pardon issued by [Washington] on 3 March 1797." This pardon was signed on Washington's last day in office. Between 1794 and 1797, having fled the state of Pennsylvania, Fulton reportedly relocated to the Ohio Country and then Spanish colonial Louisiana.
