In the Irish rebellion of 1798 Fulton was implicated. He was convicted at Tipperary in August 1799 of seditious practices and sentenced to transportation for life. Unlike seven of the seventy-three political prisoners who sailed in the Minerva for Sydney from Cork, Fulton had not 'surrendered for self-transportation', although Bishop Knox thought he had and told the archbishop of Canterbury in 1807 that '[Fulton's] Friends declared that his Confession was extorted by fear of a species of torture at that time too common'.

He was educated at Trinity College Dublin where he became interested in the Irish people's cause to win freedom from England. He eventually joined the Society of United Irishmen, and swore the oath “Union, Truth, Liberty or Death”. Little did he know at that time it would lead to his banishment from his native Ireland.
After graduating from Trinity College in 1792, Henry worked for his father in India for two years and married his sweetheart Ann Walker on his return. He joined the Church of Ireland as an ordained minister and was posted as a curate to a parish in East Galway.
Fulton came under suspicion during the Irish troubles of 1798. He was arrested, charged with sedition and other offences, and sentenced to transportation to Botany Bay for life. Along with about 180 mainly political prisoners, he arrived in Port Jackson on January 11 1800 on the ship 'Minerva'. His wife Ann and two children accompanied him, after her aunt had paid 120 guineas for their passage.

The first reference to the Reverend Henry Fulton in New South Wales is in the Government Gazette on Thursday 20 November 1800. It stated "the Rev Mr Fulton will perform divine service at Hawkesbury on Sunday 7th December next". He had been granted a conditional pardon earlier that month. He served three months at Windsor as schoolmaster, sexton and bellman.
Henry Fulton was next posted to Norfolk Island where there was an urgent need for a Protestant clergyman. During his five years on the island, he waged a constant war on vice and corruption, and was granted a full pardon in 1805.
In 1806 he was recalled to Sydney by Governor King to take the position of acting chaplain during the absence of the Reverend Samuel Marsden who was going to England to recruit more clergymen. Rev. Fulton took charge of the Parish of St. Phillip in Sydney and the Parish of St. John Parramatta.
Henry Fulton was a supporter of Governor Bligh, and when on the 26th January 1808 Major Johnston, at the head of the NSW Corps, marched down to Government. House and placed Bligh under arrest, Fulton was dining with Bligh and several others on that historic occasion.
He and Mrs Mary Putland, Bligh's daughter, tried to prevent the soldiers from entering. Fulton stood behind the closed door and was nearly killed when a soldier thrust his sword through the
door, just missing him. One of Johnston’s first acts was to arrest and suspend Fulton as Chaplain. He was reinstated after the arrival of the new governor, Lachlan Macquarie, on the first of January 1810.
The Reverend Samuel Marsden arrived back in the colony in May 1810 on the ship 'Mary'. On board also was the Reverend Robert Cartwright, whose daughter Elizabeth would marry Fulton's son John Walker Fulton in 1822. When Rev Cartwright was appointed Headmaster of the male orphan school at Liverpool in 1825 John and Elizabeth were residing there with him.
