>Just >William page 66, 1612 >William N. page 1005 Here are the references for William Fuller in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 66, in the section on the history of Pennsylvania: "Penn's favor at court during the reign of James II caused him to be suspected of disloyalty to the government when William and Mary had come to the throne. Accordingly on the 10th of December, 1688, while walking in the White Hall, he was summoned before the Lords of the Council, and though nothing was found against him, was compelled to give security for his appearance at the next term, to answer any charge that might be made. At the second sitting of the Council, nothing having been found against him, he was cleared in open court. In 1690, he was again brought before the Lords on the charge of having been in correspondence with the late King. He appealed to King William, who, after a hearing of two hours, was disposed to release him, but the Lords decided to hold him until the Trinity term, when he was again discharged. A third time he was arraigned, and this time with eighteen others, charged with adhering to the kingdom's enemies, but was cleared by order of the King's Bench. Being now at liberty, and these vexatious suits apparently at an end, he set about leading a large party of settlers to his cherished Pennsylvania. Proposals were published, and the Government, regarding the enterprise of so much importance, had ordered an armed convoy, when he was again met by another accusation, and now, backed by the false oath of one William FULLER, whom the Parliament subsequently declared a "cheat and an imposter." Seeing that he must prepare again for his defense, he abandoned his voyage to America, after having made expensive preparations, and convinced that his enemies were determined to prevent his attention to public or private affairs, whether in England or America, he withdrew himself during the ensuing two or three years from the public eye." On page 1005, in the Biographical Sketch section for Sparta Township: "Hiram F. FULLER, farmer, PO Spartansburg, was born in Elk Creek Township, Erie Co., Penn., April 21, 1824, son of Abiezer and Sarah (Lyons) Fuller, the latter a sister of Jasper Lyons, an early settler of Richmond Township, this county. They were natives of New York State, and settled in Sparta Township, where our subject now resides, in 1828, and began making a home in the wilderness, enduring many privations and hardships. Thought game was abundant, bread-stuff was scarce, and their only way of obtaining money was by making and selling black salt. Mr. FULLER was a hard working man, and did his share in clearing up this township. He died in October, 1837; his widow February 12, 1861, aged seventy-four years. They were the parents of ten children, nine of whom grew up and were married. Our subject, September 29, 1847, married Sophronia E., daughter of Salmon and Eliza (Eggleston) Sturdevant, natives of Litchfield County, Conn., and early settlers of Bloomfield Township. To Mr. and Mrs. FULLER were born John W. (deceased), Mariette (deceased), Aaron, Hiram H., Sarah E. (wife of Eugene Ceder, of Chautauqua County, NY.), Emma J. (deceased), William N., Clara, and Herbert E., living at home. Mr. FULLER learned and followed shoe-making for thirteen years. He has a farm of 144 acres, most of which is cleared and improved, with good substantial buildings thereon. Politically he is a Republican, but not a partisan in his views. He is among the reliable and substantial citizens of Sparta Township. He and his wife are members of the P. of H." And on page 612, in the history of Rockdale Township: "Jervis Methodist Episcopal Society was organized in December, 1881, by Rev. J.F. Perry, with about twenty-four members, among whom were: H.D. Bertram, Charles Bunce, Arthur Jervis, J.H. Jervis, Amasa F. Turner, William FULLER and Matthew Landers, and most of whom had previously been connected with neighboring classes. On a lot donated by Arthur Jervis, a neat, commodious frame church, 30x48, had been erected during the summer of 1881, at a cost of $1,786, on Tract 1593, in the southern part of Rockdale and meetings were held in this building as soon as the class was formed. The society numbers twenty-six, and is a part of Rockville Circuit." Hope this helps! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net
