Shelley, if you don't find family of below, maybe donate to the Sacramento, CA, Historical Society. website address: http://www.sachistoricalsociety.org/ your message: I've "rescued" an old photograph of Jacob N. FULLER which was taken at the Baldwin Studio in Sacramento, California.  The photograph was probably taken in the 1880's with Jacob appearing to be in his 20's at the time.  In addition to his name the following note also appears on the back of the photograph "that will be mine".  Based on limited research I believe that this may be a photograph of Jacob Nelson FULLER b. 19 Oct 1868 in Sacramento, CA to parents Jacob Nelson FULLER and Jane E. HURST.  It appears that Jacob Nelson FULLER pictured in the photograph died 5 Jan 1899.  I also find record of his father's death in Sacramento, CA on the 30th of Jun 1882. I'm hoping to locate someone from this FULLER Family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family.  If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Genetic Genealogy Q&A for Beginners http://www.isogg.org/ggfaq.htm I found this interesting site that might be of use to beginners of DNA studies although more knowledgeable folks might find something new there also. If you navigate to the site homepage at http://www.isogg.org/ you will have the opportunity to join the International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG). All that is required is to fill in the required info and you're in. Note that after joining they may invite you to join the DNA-NEWBIE mailing list located at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DNA-NEWBIE/ . This is purely optional as you may join either, neither or both as you wish. Regards, David

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Jacob N. FULLER which was taken at the Baldwin Studio in Sacramento, California. The photograph was probably taken in the 1880's with Jacob appearing to be in his 20's at the time. In addition to his name the following note also appears on the back of the photograph "that will be mine".

Is this the same John Fuller who married Elizabeth Cole? I think it is Cole -- I got a will a few years back to prove her father and maiden name but I cannot seem to find it in my files.

Dear Gail, That is the right guy. Not sure there is proof on Lavenham--it was in a book I think, but you know how people are always finding some person over there with the same name and assuming it's the same person.

I convinced my brother-in-law to test. The results of these tests has pretty much established the relationship. I still need the paper trail. As the family genealogist, at least I know I am barking up the right tree, and that the family legend was correct! My suggestion to you is that you advertise on the Rootsweb and Genweb Fuller Surname Message Boards for a documented descendant of Enoch Fuller and offer to pay for the DNA test (if necessary).

Despite several break-throughs with this family recently, two mysteries persist that, just maybe, someone else on this list has been able to solve. Here is what we think we know with a decently high degree of assurance: Jacob Fuller, born 30 Mar 1972 in Royalston, Massachusetts. Married Elizabeth Dunn. Moved to Seneca, Ontario County, New York, where three children were born: William Whaley in 1828, John Spencer in 1830, and Charles W. in 1834. The family can be found there in the 1850 and 1860 Census enumerations but not in the 1870 Census. Curiously, Jacob filed an affidavit in 1856 in Washington County, Vermont, in an effort to obtain his father's (also named Jacob) Revolutionary War veteran's pension. We lose all track of Jacob after the 1860 Ontario County, New York, Census. Also, while we have data on two of his sons, William Whaley and John Spencer, we cannot find any record of the third son, Charles W., after the 1860 Census entry. By that time, Charles had married Catherine and had two children, Sarah J., born about 1858, and Napoleon, born about 1859. We're still faced with the questions of what became of Jacob Fuller after the 1860 Ontario County, NY, Census, and what became of his son Charles W. Fuller and his family. Any illumination of these conundrums will be most gratefully appreciated. Regards, William H. (Bill) Fuller http://members.mato.com/wfuller

I'm impressed with what Mr. Johnson has done with his site. It's the kind of thing I've always wanted to do but he has done it. So it seems I'm related to Richard Gere. I'm not a big Gere fan (sorry ladies) but it's kind of nice to be related to such a famous personality through the Samuel Fuller line. By the way, through some of my other Mayflower connections I'm related to all the other famous people shown on that page. :-) Cheers, David

Hiram FULLER, b. 1803, NY m. abt 1829 NY, Angeline STOCUM b. 1809 NY. Settled in Nelson, Portage County, OH abt 1832. Children born NY: Arthur Ward (Artemus), b. 1830. Children born Nelson, Portage County: John 1832; Herkimer 1833; Susan 1835; Bradley B. 1836; Lydia 1839; Jane 1841; Arthur Clayton (A.C.) 1843; Anna 1846. Children born Walworth, Walworth, WI : Frank James 1849; and Daniel 1851. This FULLER family resided in Nelson Township, Portage County 1832 - 1849 before moving on to Walworth, WI. then to Dallastown, Barron, WI. Angeline STOCUM's parents Isaac STOCUM and Annie OURIE also lived in the Portage County, OH area. Looking for parents of Hiram FULLER, and place of marriage to Angeline. Also looking to extend the Isaac STOCUM and Annie OURIE lines. Have recently connected Hiram to Edward Fuller of Mayflower through DNA testing. Now need the paper documentation. Any help appreciated.
