Scenario:

• Playing Cowboy Billiards, shooting for point 101

Setup:

• The 1-ball sits on edge of a pocket ready to fall in.
• Cue ball hits the 1-ball with following english and follows it into the pocket without touching a cushion.

Does this result in scoring one point for a winning total of 101 points, or, does it result in a foul due to the sinking of an object ball?

   It results in the shooting player scoring the 101st point and winning the game.

   Fouls for sinking object balls only occur when shooting to score points 91 through 100.

   5. When a player is shooting for points 91 through 100, of which must all be scored on caroms solely, it is a foul to pocket an object ball.

   Further confirmed in the "Illegally Pocketed Balls" phrase from the rules (emphasis ours):

   All illegally pocketed balls are spotted per the provisions of the "Rules of Play" regulation #3 (see above), without penalty, except in the special cases covered by the "Rules of Play" regulation, numbers 4 and 5.

   In this case, "regulation numbers 4 and 5" refer to scoring the 90th point, and points 91 through 100, respectively.
