Hi Kathy! Was very interested to see your post. By coincidence, William Fuller's son, Aspinwall Fuller was born about 1851 at Clifton Staten Island. Wish they had listed William's occupation in the 1860 census!!! The other coincidence is that William's eldest son on the 1860 census, William Jr (William L. Fuller born about 1847 NY on later census) became a steamboat clerk and lived in New Jersey after marrying in NY. Some of the later census of William Jr indicate that William Fuller Sr was born in Boston Massachusetts - but the 1880 census says NY. I will definitely keep your message on file. You never know if there might be a link. Thank you very much for sharing your information. Hopefully, someone might be able to identify William Sr in 1850 and 1870 census (born about 1830) NY. Best wishes, Judy Jones Subject: Wm Fuller NY 1850? Hi everyone! I am helping a FULLER descendant find his ancestors. He also has been told that his Fullers are related to the Mayflower Fullers. I found his family in New York City in 1860, but have never been able to identfy them in 1850 and 1870. Is anyone able to help please. This might give us the clues to find William Fuller's origins. Aspinwall Fuller was the direct ancestor and he became an engineer. Sue Fuller, his mother was Susan Taylor BLACK dau of Furman BLACK and Sarah Ann ROGERS. Sarah Ann Rogers was the dau of Moses Rogers, the Captain of the "Savannah" the first steam ship to cross the Atlantic. I know that William FULLER was dead by 1880. 1860 census NYC (Third Division, 18th Ward) William Fuller 30yrs born NY (no occupation listed) Sue Fuller 30yrs born Penn William Fuller 13yrs Howard Fuller 11yrs Aspinwall Fuller 9yrs Daisy Fuller 4yrs Ellen Dunn 29yrs servant born Ireland Hoping someone can help find this family in 1850 and 1870.

Hi Judy, My name is Kathy, and I thought I would send a quick reply to your post. Probably no connection, but who knows... I have a little info on two Williams in my line, so I will share what I have... I have my Benjamin Fuller, born NYC in the late 1700s. He married a woman name unknown and had 4 children with her. Their children were Joseph, Andrew, Emily, and Charlotte. Of these children, Andrew had a small farm on Staten Island and a son named William. William later worked for many years with H.B. Chaflin & Co., prominent wholesalers in dry goods. I have no further information on this William, or any dates for the above people. My Benjamin Fuller later married a second time, to Margaret Cahoon, and 12 children with her. The eldest was my ancestor Henry Cahoon Fuller born 1824, who later was in command of the ship "Winifred" in approx 1857/1858. He was later on the Steamer Metropolis in Baltimore MD, where he died from injuries from a fall onboard the ship in 1875. Another of Benjamin and Margaret's children was a son named William. I have absolutely no information on him, other than that fact, not even his birth order. The only other thing I can tell you are the names of some of Benjamin and Margaret's children, and that all were born NYC, prior to 1842. The children were: Henry Cahoon Fuller, Robert, Frank, Mary, Ettie/Hettie. Truman, William, George, and maybe a Benjamin and Henrietta. The names of the other children are unknown. I do know that Henry was the firstborn, and Ettie/Hettie that last. I hope you find a connection!

Just send the single word command, correctly spelled. Don't add anything else. Do not add the phrase "and nothing else"; do not include your sig block or the list of surnames you're searching; do not send your family information -- you'll send that to the list *after* you have become a member; and do not add "please", "thank you", "have a nice day" or any other message. The computer software that handles subscriptions may not understand the extra words. The single word command will get you added to or removed from the list as you wish. Anything extra might cause it to not work. Note that "l" is an "L" (either lowercase or uppercase will work) and can be thought of as an abbreviation of "list mode" and "d" would stand for "digest mode".

Members subscribed in either mode will receive all the same messages. * How to post your message to the list: -- To post a message to this list, Genealogical data, a query or reply, etc., stuff of interest to other members, send it to Fuller-l@rootsweb.com .

While in moderated mode all messages sent to the list are previewed by me before being accepted and redirected to the list or rejected. At any time the mode changes from unmoderated to moderated or vice versa there will not be any announcement of that change. Participation in this list is what makes it work. Thus members are encouraged to post messages to the list. Your post must be on topic to be relevant. Off topic messages are strongly discouraged. Here are some rules to help members understand the difference. * On Topic This list is for the discussion of Genealogy and History, primarily regarding Fuller and related families. Suggested areas of discussion include family data, migration patterns, immigration, ship passenger lists, heraldry, historical sketches, family settlements, census data, wills, inventory lists, family Bibles, grave stone inscriptions, DNA studies, vital records, web sites and other online resources, family reunion plans and announcements, genealogical libraries and archives, etc. as relates to Fuller and collateral families. Short family histories, memoirs, family lore, oral tradition and other anecdotal items authored by your ancestors or passed down orally are welcome. Announcements and genealogical discussions of the contents of web sites, message boards, chat rooms, newsgroups, alternate or similar mailing lists, and other forums or databases wherever hosted, as relates to the Fuller surname are certainly welcome in this list. A public announcement of interest to Genealogists in general though it may not relate specifically to Fullers is permitted but please use discretion. If you're unsure whether the content is appropriate send it to me privately and I'll preview it. * Off Topic Do not post virus warnings whether real or imagined, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, petitions, current events, missing persons, items for sale, jokes, cute web sites, prayer requests, personal messages such as birthday greetings or chit chat, excess quoted material (see explanations below), computer support, copyright law, etc. Brief holiday greetings and general well wishes may be included in an otherwise on topic email but do not post solely holiday messages to the list. An unsubscribe message sent to the list instead of to the request address is off topic. Do not send a message to the list that is in reply to another person's off topic message. Even if your reply is helpful and done out of kindness it is still off topic. Inserting a phrase such as "Off topic", "OT", or "(OT)" in your message or subject does *not* grant you an exception to the rule requiring members to stay on topic. As people have questioned or misunderstood this point in the past it is worth repeating: No discussion of viruses or any other computer support in this list. Forums for those topics are elsewhere. This list is for Genealogy. Links to helpful information on viruses are listed at http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/virus.html .

We won't however let that policy get in the way of our doing Genealogy. You may announce your own book, CD or other resource material if it is specifically related to our Fuller family and if you are the copyright owner; If you have an historical or heirloom item that you would like to "return" to its family you may ask for reimbursement for shipping only; You may bring to the list's attention relevant items of interest you found listed at online auction sites, online genealogy subscription services, DNA testing services, genealogy booksellers, professional genealogy services, etc. In all such exceptions prices and fees will be taken up privately between the parties involved and not mentioned in the list. * No excess quoting When replying to the list it is expressly forbidden to repost any of the following: Headers including explanatory notes that were added by this Listowner; The previous poster's sig block, surname list or advertisement from their email service; The list tagline (A new tagline will be automatically added to your post -- resending the previous one is unnecessarily redundant); Any note from the previous message indicating that it was virus scanned; Any other tagline, notice or advertisement that was added by Rootsweb or anybody else. There is simply no reason in the world to include any of the above items in your reply to the list. They have already been seen and only add clutter when resent. If you're unsure what you should remove from your reply, removing everything except the genealogy stuff that was written by the other person would be a safe bet. See some helpful tips on quoting in the Guidelines section below. * No attachments Please do not send file attachments to the list. If you have a file you would like to share with the members, announce what you have to offer, then send the file only to those who request it, via private email. There are many branches of this surname and the vast data in your gedcom or other file may not be of interest to everyone in the list. * No auto-replies "Out-Of-Office" auto-replies are strictly forbidden. Some email clients provide this "feature" and some users actually invoke it. In mailing lists such messages are considered rude and entirely unnecessary. If seen in this list the offending address will be removed and banned from membership with no further warning and no notice. You saw it here. * No challenge/response requests If I learn that you subscribe to a service requiring the list server or this Listowner to respond in order to prove that you are not being sent spam then you will be removed from the list. Remember, you willingly subscribed to the list. You must be set up to receive all pertinent list and administrative email. In other words the burden is on you, not on me. If you have a question I cannot reach you if you're blocking my mail. And, No, I will not respond to that service as I have better things to do. If you have a question or concern about spam you may email me (but I must be freely able to contact you by email) or you may visit http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ . * No flames No rude comments or flaming in the list! No discussion of flaming in the list. Do not send a message to the list that is in response to another person's flame. Even if your reply is helpful and is done out of kindness it is still off topic. If you feel you *must* comment to the person who sent unwelcome material do so by private email, but please be nice to them. The person you're scolding is your cousin and they may have useful Genealogy information for you in the future. For definitions of flaming and related information see http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/netiquette.html * Info and Updates Occasionally this Listowner will post informational emails and new versions of this welcome letter to the list. Any questions or comments whether you agree or disagree with the content should be sent to me privately at Fuller-admin@rootsweb.com, not to the list. * Don't Don't attempt to impose any rules or conditions, expressed or implied elsewhere, upon this list. Rules of other mailing lists, newsgroups, message boards, chat rooms or other forums may not necessarily apply here. Do not try to regulate this list. If you don't like the way someone formats their queries or responses or the content of their subject titles send a helpful email to the author in private email. If you wish to help someone unsubscribe do it in private email as I do. If you wish to report a violation of the rules or have a question or concern about how this list is run, take it up with me at Fuller-admin@rootsweb.com, *not* in the list. The list is for Genealogy and History and other members likely will not be interested in your griping. If you don't like the way this list is run you may leave. Do not send a rude or hateful message to the list. Nor am I particularly interested in hearing it privately either. * Violations Again, the Listowner assumes that you understand these simple rules. They apply whether or not you read them. If you don't feel you can follow them, then you should unsubscribe now and save everybody lots of grief. Individuals violating these rules may be put in moderated mode, during which time I will preview your messages before being accepted and forwarded to the list or rejected. Serious and/or repeated violations may result in your being removed and/or banned from the list at the discretion of the Listowner. An email to the list containing several violations indicates a total disregard for the rules possibly resulting in immediate removal. * Summary of rules To sum up these rules the two key elements are, one: this list is for Genealogy and History, nothing else; and two: this list, as well as any other list at Rootsweb or anywhere else, is unique. What goes at one list doesn't necessarily go at any other list. Before posting to any list of any kind, first read and understand the rules and guidelines of that list. With these concepts in mind I urge you to reread this section. *%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%* GUIDELINES %*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%* While the following guidelines aren't strict rules such as those in the section above I strongly urge you to conform to these standards. * Quoting tips When replying please try to quote some portions of the previous message so that other readers are reminded what the thread is about. Quoting means repeating some text of the message you are replying to. Some quoting is necessary but do try to use good judgment. Quoting the previous writer's signature block or surname list is unnecessary as is quoting the headers and footers that are included in messages. Quoting an entire digest back to the list is totally unacceptable. See also the item on quoting in the rules section above. Make it clear what is quoted material and what you are adding. Many email programs take care of this for you by inserting greater-than signs > at the beginning of each quoted line or possibly double brackets << before and >> after the quoted piece. Use standard editing tools to cut unnecessary material. Leave one or two blank lines between the quoted material and your added information as an aid to the reader. For methods on how to Cut and Paste see the links to handy sites at: http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/editing.html Traditionally people quote and reply either of two ways: one, portions of quoted material successively followed by new material that you add; and two, all new material added after the end of all quoted text. In recent times people have been seen inserting their new material ahead of the quoted email (reverse chronology), leaving most or all of the entire previous message intact including headers, taglines and footer material. This practice tends to create increasingly large emails with redundant taglines and other unnecessary material that has already been posted. Plus it is chronologically reversed which makes no sense at all. Please try to avoid this practice in favor of the standard methods mentioned in the previous paragraph. See http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/query.html for additional tips on replying. * Subject It helps other readers if you remember to put something in the subject line. While there is no standard or specific format for the subject text, something that relates to the Genealogy work you're doing is helpful. Not too many people will even look at a message that simply says "roll call" or "my surnames". If during the exchange of messages the topic shifts to another related line, it may be helpful, to change the subject. An example of a commonly used style is: Subject: Fuller & Miller family - was Re: Fuller & Smith marriage If you are a member in digest mode your subject title in your reply should not be the digest number. Please change it to something relevant to the topic of your message. If you are a member in list mode and someone in digest mode did reply with the digest number your subject title in your reply should not also be the digest number. Please change it to something relevant to the topic of your message. * Private messages If you *must* send a reply to a query stating that you have no information send it in private email *not* to the list. Use common sense. It is common courtesy to thank people for the information that they have shared, and I encourage all members to do so. Please send your Thank You note to the individual in private email, not through the list. If your computer crashed or you otherwise lost your contact info, by all means use the list to re-establish contact with those you are conducting research with. * Settings Become familiar with your email program and it's settings. This list is set up so that your reply goes to the list instead of the individual, i.e. all members including yourself will receive a copy of your reply. Your email program may be configured to override that setting. Look to see who you're sending your reply to before clicking the SEND button. To join help lists about computer email programs and other related subjects go to http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/internethelp.html * Sorting or Filtering email I recommend you use filtering in your email program. Among other useful tasks filtering will move incoming emails into separate mailboxes/folders that you create based on criteria you specify. This is especially useful if you belong to more than one mailing list. This also will help to separate your list mail from your personal emails or spam emails. To learn about filtering read the help file that came with your email program or call its tech support for help in setting up filtering your email. Or join any of the helpful mailing lists referred to in the links at http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/internethelp.html * Footers & sigs Surname lists or taglines appended to the end of messages (example: Searching Sylvester Smith Miller etc.) are okay but please try to limit them to say, half a dozen names. Any more than that and many people just won't read them. Try keeping several small lists and rotate them with each succeeding message. Signatures or sig blocks longer than five to ten lines are traditionally considered lengthy. Please try to conform to this standard. See also http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/sigs.html Please sign your name, nickname, screen name or other personal identifier at the end of your message so that people who reply will know what to call you. *%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%* TIPS %*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%* * Accuracy Accuracy is important and sources are vital. Ancestor lists are worthless if the information is wrong. * Sources All information need not be accompanied by source citations, but I recommend strongly that you do include sources or a note stating that they are available on request. For tips on citing sources see http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/citing.html * Is this for real? If information is speculation then present it as such until it is proven or commonly accepted as fact. * Queries When posting your query try to give as much information as you know, i.e. dates and places of all vital events if known, along with enough facts on other family members so that the reader can positively identify if they are researching the same family. "Anyone out there researching Fullers?" is going to find its way into members' trash bins. See the following sites for help on writing a good query: http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/query.html * English 101 It helps if you check your spelling and syntax. Certainly none of us are perfect spellers and no one is going to "correct" you but names of ancestors and places should be presented as you found them in the records or accurate for our current times. Also it's important to post your website URL correctly. Leaving out one letter or the slash / symbol in the URL generates a raft of requests for corrections. Tip: Copy and paste the text from your browser, bookmarks or other document. And take a moment to proof read your message before sending it. For tips on email writing style see: http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/style.html Try to avoid typing surnames in all caps, i.e. for easier reading use Fuller not FULLER. Back when all we had was Fidonet, the Genealogy forum at AOL, Roots-L, and a handful of Genealogy Usegroups it was important to type surnames in all caps as a visual aid for people who were scanning scores of messages for names of their interest. Now that we have separate mailing lists focusing on individual surnames or small groups of families that practice is no longer necessary. * Keep trying Post your query frequently, perhaps once every month or two, if you have not yet found your ancestor. New people are joining the list all the time and they may have the info you need. If you have found your ancestor please remain a member of the list. You may be able to help a new member find their roots too! * Use the list Please send relevant replies to the list not just to the original poster. Other members may benefit from the data that you provide, thus relevant email traffic in the list is encouraged. * How to get started Here are some tips for new members to get started in the list, and also for long time members to get going again: -- Check out the list archives to see what some of the recent and past conversations are about. The archives are linked from the Fuller homepage at http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/fuller.html . Just click on the link "Search or Browse the Fuller archives". -- Send in an introductory letter telling us about your interests in this name. What area(s) are you researching? What is your brick wall? Send in your query. How can we help you find your ancestor? How can you help fellow members find theirs? -- Be a Look-up Volunteer. Do you have access to libraries or other resources that others might not? Do you own some books or CD's of your own? Tell us what you have and offer to share with the membership. -- Send in a link to your web page. *%*%*%*%*%*%*%* FURTHER INFORMATION %*%*%*%*%*%*%* * List homepage For further information on this list go to http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/fuller.html * Other mailing lists See the following sites for information on many Genealogy mailing lists: http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html http://www.CyndisList.com/mailing.htm http://lists.rootsweb.com http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=genealogy http://www.feliixplace.com/genealogylists/construct.html * Publish my info online?

I thought this was interesting: It is connecting lost cousins and giving families surprising glimpses into their pasts. Now scientists are using it to answer the oldest question of all: where did we come from? See the article at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11080815/site/newsweek/ David
