George R. Ramsay came from Vermont by way of Chicago and Milwaukee and made a claim in the town of Fulton; William B. Foster came and located on the river in the south part of the town, later running Foster's Ferry.

The evidence

• “In 1837, George R. Ramsay came from the State of Vermont to Chicago; remained there for a time and worked upon the harbor ; he then went to Milwaukee, and from there to Rock River and made a claim in the town of Fulton, where he is still living. William B. Foster came in 1837, and located upon the river in the south part of the town. His place became a prominent landmark in consequence of a ferry which he established and run for a time, known as Foster's Ferry.”
