There were Fullers in Pennsylvania who were among many other families of other surnames who were distillers that left PA and went to Kentucky and North Carolina to avoid being taxed. Of course, that wasn't the exclusive reason for their movement into Kentucky and North Carolina. I've found many Fullers in North Carolina and Kentucky who were a bit tricky to trace because of the many boundary changes through the years. In spite of the complications all these combined factors I've been able to trace many similar names from the early 1600's to North Carolina and Kentucky. I would love it if there was more research on these Fullers who were often associated with Smiths, Wrights, Reynolds, Combs, Youngs, Ashleys, Kellys, Couchs, Privetts, Grigsbys, Jolliffs, Stones, Bakers, Bates, Bowens, Bradfords, Amburgeys, Boones, Flemings, Mullins, Burkes, Potters and too many others to mention who have followed the same routes to these areas. I think researchers would benefit and break through brick walls if these areas were included in their research. Just an observation. Love to hear what others think about it.
