Hi All, I have just updated the the FULLER NOTEBOOK OF LINKS with some new links submitted by several list members. This page will continue to grow with links to new FULLER pages and databases as long as eveyone contributes a good link once in awhile. I will try to update the page at least once a month with your help. I hope you find this new FULLER resource page useful. http://home.pro-usa.net/freddie/genealogy/ful-links.htm Margaret Burgess

Joint Resolution of the Georgia General Assembly Mar. 24, 1939 RETURN OF LOCOMOTIVE "GENERAL." No. 37. A Resolution. Whereas, the "Old Locomotive,General," was stolen from Big Shanty in Cobb County, Georgia by Federal Soldiers during the Civil War; and Whereas, at the time said Locomotive was stolen it was and now is the property of the State of Georgia; and Whereas, said Locomotive General is now situated in the City of Chattanooga, State of Tennessee; and Whereas, the State Government is now developing a vast National Memorial Park in Cobb County memorializing the battle of Kennesaw Mountain; and Whereas, the history of said Locomotive General is a part of the history of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain; and Whereas, it is the desire of all concerned to have said Locomotive General placed at the point from which it was stolen by Federal soldiers during the Civil War in order that it might be viewed by persons visiting said National Park when it is completed; and Whereas, to do so, it would bring this historic Locomotive General back to Georgia where it rightfully belongs; and Whereas, the people of the town of Kennesaw, Cobb County, Georgia, formerly Big Shanty, are willing to build proper housing facilities to protect and display said Locomotive General; Now therefore be it resolved by the House, the Senate concurring, that the State of Georgia cause said Locomotive General to be removed from the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee to the town of Kennesaw, Georgia, formerly Big Shanty, and place and keep there as a part of the Kennesaw Mountain Memorial Park. Be it further resolved that said Locomotive General be removed to the town of Kennesaw as soon as the citizens of the town of Kennesaw prepare proper housing quarters for said Locomotive. Approved March 4, 1939. Source: Ga. Laws 1939, pp. 1449-1450.

Looking for information on the following FULLER family. Warren FULLER married Vesta MARSH in 1814 Vernon, Tolland Co., Conn. children: 1. Timothy Mills FULLER b. 1815 Vernon, Tolland Co., Conn 2. Adaline FULLER b. 1817 (twin) 3. Alfred FULLER b. 1817 (twin) 4. Warren FULLER b. 1819 5. Fanny FULLER b. 1820 6. Harriett FULLER b. 1824 I.G.I. has two different places of birth listed for all above, Vernon, Tolland Co., Conn & Olmstead Falls, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. Would anyone researching this family know who the child Warren FULLER b. 1819 married? I located a Warren FULLER who married a Sally Ann BLAIN in Ohio. This Warren and Sally lived at one time in Michigan. Any help would be appreciated. Thank-You!

Does anyone have info on the family of Timothy and Sarah Hall ? They would have been married around 1720 in CT.

Ephraim Fuller lived in the northeasterly corner of Berlin, CT, but before that the area was a part of Wethersfield, Connecticut, so his birth might be found in Wethersfield, around 1735 or so. He ran a tavern in Berlin where George Washington had breakfast. He married Mary Dunham around 1750 or so, as their child Mary Fuller was born on January 2, 1757 in Berlin. I would like any information on Ephraim and Mary Dunham. Thanks. Ken Larsen

I have just located a Fuller ancestor in my early lines - from the New Britain area of CT 1700's and I was hoping someone may have more info on this line and possibly info on the early history of Fuller's in America. My line: Mary FULLER b. abt 1756, baptized in Kensington, died 1834 she married Benjamin Hart Her parents were Ephraim FULLER and Mary DUNHAM. Can anyone add to this family? Gary [email protected]

I am needing information on William Fuller.He is listed in the 1880 Carter Co. KY census with his family.If anyone has any information about this family please help.Thanks Monica

This is just a word of thanks to those who have responded to my queries on this list. THANK YOU! I have now traced my Fuller line back to Thomas Fuller of Woburn, thanks to someone pointing me to the book on his genealogy. Imagine my excitement when I realized the book traced the line down to my grandfather! Again, thank you and I will be sure to watch to see if I can help someone else! Diane Fuller Roberts

I received this new information by contacting distant relatives. The information comes from an autobiography of my Great Grandfather Oliver Clyde Fuller. The autobiography is in the hands of his Grandson Robert Sevier Fuller. John Elder Fuller was born in Iredell Co. North Carolina Aug. 15, 1797. He married Livonia Reed Jeffers of Laurens Co. S.C. on 10-24-1833. John Elder Fuller died in Clarksville Ga., (Habersham Co.) March 6, 1854. John Elder Fuller was the son of William Fuller (birth unknown ) William's wife was Jean Elder (birth unknown maybe England). William Fuller died in Missouri. This is all the new information that I have. I have a feeling that it will be easier to find William's father. Any ideas?

Kay, From the book; Caswell Co. North Carolina Land Grants, Tax Lists, State Census, Apprentice Bonds, Estate Records. By- Katherine Kerr Kendall #26 Fuller Alex M. 1885 Anna M. 1861 A.M. 1886 Arch 1912 Henry 1790 Henry 1880 James 1831 James N. 1851 John 1930 John H. 1897 John L. 1870 John N. 1853 ( May be grandson of Nehemiah, son of James?) #27 Fuller Moses 1840 ( Moses may have died around this time, not in census after 1830) Nathan 1846 Nehemiah 1780 ( This is supposedly the year Nehemiah died) William 1843 ( Could be son of Nehemiah) William 1871 These could be the distribution of Nehemiah's estate, since no will was found. It could possibly tell who his children were and if William was his son. Also William's records may tell if Moses was his son altho I am quite sure thru the land records that he was. Also in Person Co.,NC "A" folders C.R. 078.508.1--- C.R. 078.508.44 Box # C.R. 078.508.15 Abram Fuller 1858 Isaiah 1827 J.T. 1889 J.T. 1894 James R. 1905 John 1869 Lucy 1870 Thomas 1844 William 1825

Kay, Just to let you know I have been working on Moses line, getting more info and updating it. I will finish soon and send you the records. I have found some info that might be interesting to you and everyone on the list. I don't know if you know about this. In the library I found a list of Estate Records Index for Caswell Co.,NC. Fuller's; #26 Alex M. 1885 #27 Moses 1840 Anna M. 1861 Nathan 1846 A.M. 1886 Nehemiah 1780 Arch 1912 William 1843 Henry 1790 William 1871 Henry 1888 These may be the records that tells who Nehemiah's James 1831 Children are and really confirms that William was his James N. 1851 son. Although I am quite sure thru land records that John 1930 Moses is William's son. John H. 1897 Nehemiah supposedly died in 1780, so this is John L. 1870 probably the distribution of his estate, since there John N. 1853 was no will found on him. Do you or anyone have access to the records? The info on them is; At the Department of Archives and History, Raliegh, NC, are 106 boxes of Caswell Co. estate records and documents. Alphabetically arranged in file folders, a folder may contain only one document such as administrators bonds or sale notice. Many folders contain a number of papers relative to an individual estate such as gaurdian accounts, receipts, sales, and sometimes names of heirs. These records have been found to be recorded in record (Will) Books of Caswell Co. Many of these listed died intestate and a will is recorded in Record Book. Date on document presedes name. Call numbers for boxes at the archives are; C. R. 020.508 (1)- (106). The numbers in parenthesis preceding names are file box numbers for a particular group. If anyone has acess to these records and can check Nehemiah, William-1843, and Moses, It will be greatly appreciated. I hope this helps someone. I have called the archives and the phone number is 919-733-3952 Send a letter requesting the records you want, $8.00 per person to; address; Archives & Records Section 4614 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-46114 JMurphy
