The 1880 census you mention is Caldwell County not Burleson. Mary's, the mother and wife of Benjamin, birthplace was crossed thru. Hard to read the birthplace of John R's and Samuel's parents birthplaces. In the 1870 census they are in Caldwell Co, Lockhart Post Office, page 130, HH 877-889. Lists: Benj, age 67 born SC Mary, age 61 born GA John R., age 22 born TX Samuel, age 19 born TX HH 877-890 next door: Susan, age 37 born AL Walter P, age 17 born TX Benj, age 15 born TX Wm, age 13 born TX Annie, age 12 born TX Joseph, age 7 born TX HH 878-891 next door: Jasper, age 24 born TX Matilda, age 1 born TX. I didn't find them in the 1860 in TX. I was checking the Heritage Quest site, maybe someone could search Ancestry if a member. Gayle Fuller Boggess Katy, TX

Hope the following will help whoever is looking for information concerning this family. I find it interesting Benjamin's descendants that came on to TX look as tho they qualify for Daughters/Sons of the Republic of Texas. According to the book "Early Southern Fullers" by Kay Fuller Mitchell, published 2003, has Benjamin, the father of John R., b ca 1804 in Pendleton Co SC; d 21 Jul 1879 in Caldwell Co TX; m 27 Dec 1827 in St. Clair Co AL to Mary "Polly" Castleberry, dau of Aaron Trivce Castleberry, was b ca 1809 in GA and d after 1880 in TX.

Fuller b 21 Feb 1849, m Harriet W. _______ no date, no children listed Samuel H. Fuller b 1851 TX. Benjamin's father according to the same book is Tyron (Trion, Tron) Fuller, b ca 1782 NC, d Dec 1845 in Talladega, Talladega Co AL, m ca 1802 in SC to Nancy ___________. Tryon was liv in Lincoln Co TN in 1818 when he sold property on 29 Jul 1818 and 3 Aug 1818. Between 1818 and 1820 he moved to AL because he was listed as head of household in the 1820 St Clair AL census and later moved to Talladega Co AL when he died. Tyron's estate sale was dated 1847 and brought $1,498. William H McGuire was the executor who signed the sales document on 15 Mar 1847. In addition to furniture and household items, livestock and farm implements, 9 slaves were sold. Among the 24 buyers were his daughters and sons-in-law: Isaac Lawler, Sally Simms, James Jackson Foreman, Sybert A. Fuller, William S. Fuller and Nancy Ray.
