Capt. William
Fuller m. Sarah Martiau of Redenhall, Norfolk, England
William Fuller was born about 1610 in England. William
sailed from London to New England aboard the
Ship Abigail
April 1635 when he was 25 y
ears
old. He married Sarah Martiau around 1651 and two of their children
were William Jr. (1673), and Ekeziel (1675). When these sons were born,
William was 48 and 50 years of age, respectively. William was a
soldier, a planter, and a politician. Sarah was the daughter of Capt.
Nicholas Martiau and his wife Jane, of York County VA.
Military: Capt.
William Fuller served in Oliver Cromwell's roundhead army. He also
was a leader in the
Battle of
Severn.
Politics: Colonial
Governor William Fuller served in Maryland, where he arrived in 1651 and
became a leader of the Protestant forces. He negotiated a treaty with
the Susquehanna Indians in July of 1652, and he was commander-in-chief
of an expedition against the Nanticokes and Wicomicoes on the Eastern
Shore Indians just 6 months later in November of 1652. The expedition
was ultimately abandoned due to the weather and Providence settlers not
willing to participate in the expedition. In 1654 he served as a member
of the Lower House Assembly of Maryland from which he ultimately served
as Puritan Governor of Maryland. Governor Fuller, in 1654, agreed to the
elimination of the Toleration Act which gave Catholics the right to
practice the Catholic religion! Puritan all the way, I guess...anyway
this also led to the removal of Lord Baltimore from authority. This
Puritan assembly retained powers until April 27, 1658 when Lord
Baltimore and religious freedom that also encompassed the Catholics was
restored.

In 1755 John was living in the Kershaw District of SC where he, an early

John Fuller, Jr. was the Sr.'s only surviving heir in
1854 and Jr. at the age of 98 filed for his father's pension. In
this Jr. declared that "he recollects distinctly
of hearing his Father frequently in his lifetime say that he was at
Braddock's defeat and that he fought in the American line and saw
General Braddock when he was dying and heard him say his last words to
General George Washington whilst in the act of dying."

grandfather of William Allen Fuller, the conductor of the General

Locomotive at Confederate Camp McDonald while passengers and crew
were at

pursued the raiders and ultimately regained his locomotive.

Southern Museum webpage. William Allen Fuller also lost
his wife Maria Lulu and three of his children to TB by 1871 and lost
his only remaining son to TB in 1890. Most are buried in the
Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta.

Cooper Bennett Fuller was born in 1800 SC and he married Anney
Stonecypher, on the 16th of February 1832 at Franklin, GA. Anney was 13 years younger than Cooper, being born in 1813. Cooper

Death 1874
- Franklin County, GA Photographer is Sarah Kesler of findagrave;
there are 7 graves in this cemetery but he is the only one named
"Fuller".
Anney Stonecypher, was the daughter of John Henry Stonecypher, Jr. (died
age 96 from injuries sustained in a fall from his mill house steps) and
his wife Nancy Curtis. John Henry Jr was the son was Johann
Heinrich Steinseiffer and Ellen Dortch and the grandson of Johannes
Steinseifer and Elizabeth LNU.
Cooper married Anney and had many children, including our Garnett Fuller
(see next generation):
Copied in part from Weekly
Tribune 24 Jan 1890. By
betsy0108:
Mrs.
Anney Fuller was the wife of Cooper B. Fuller, who was something of a
character but a most excellent man.
In the 1850 Census for Franklin GA, Cooper B. Fuller is a farmer and his
wife
Ann keeps house. He is 50 and she is 37. Since Sarah C.
Fuller is 19 and would have been born in 1831, one year before Cooper
and Ann married, it is not clear that she is Cooper's child. Omar
B. Fuller is likely their first son together, at least following
marriage.
Known Children of Cooper and Anney Fuller:
In the 1860 Census for
Carnesville, GA, Cooper B. Fuller is listed as a
farmer with his wife Ann (46) and housekeeper.
Additional info on three of their children:
Son Benjamin Bennett Fuller (B.
1839 D. 1918 in Banks County, GA.) ►
ΧSon
John M. (B.
1847 GA; lived in Grimlog, Franklin, GA in 1880 with wife
Phoebe age 21 and son Cooper B. Fuller age 5 or born 1875 and Dudley
B. Fuller 1 month old or born 1880.) John was a farmer and could not read
nor write and Phoebe was a housekeeper and could not write but evidently could read some
at least.
The following is Matilda R. Fuller married to John Franklin
Hammond and three of their boys. LtoR: Monty Lee Hammond, Fred
Hammond, and Benjamin Hill Hammond. Matilda was born in 1860
and died March 8, 1904 in Carnes AL at age 44. Her husband
John with his three brothers, James, Miles and William traveled from
Chattooga Valley Georgia over the Sand Mountain in a wagon making
railroad ties during the journey. Small pay; meals. John
is also seen as Frank and Hammon or Hammons. John was
ultimately killed in a cotton gin accident in 1818.
In the 1870 Census for Carnesville, Franklin County, GA, Cooper is now
70. His occupation is illegible to me, but his wife Ann is keeping
house. They still having many of their children living with them.
Rev.
Garnett F. Fuller m. Allie M. Voyles
Garnett F. Fuller was born on April 29, in 1845 in GA. He died
on April 23, 1926 in Greenville County, SC. His wife was Allie M. Voyles born many years later on October 2, 1879 in GA and died on July
23 in 1939 in Union County, SC (See gravestone). They wed
in Franklin GA on July 24, 1896 (per Family Search's Georgia, County
Marriages, 1785-1950; see below) when Allie was 16
and he was 51!
The obituary for Allie has multiple mistakes, but
is the one that
appeared in the Spartanburg Herald News on July 24, 1939:
Looking back at the 1910 Census, Garnett was living in Greenville SC with his family.
In 1910 Garnett was listed as 68. Others in the household were
Addie (32) who was his wife and their children Ansel (18)
Mary Ann (17) Birdy May (14) and Matildy (9), Garnett L. (7), Loyd B. (4) and infant
Henry W. Fuller (11 months old). Garnett was a clergyman and also
worked at the a local cotton mill as were Mary Ann and Birdy May who
were spinners, though only 17 and 14 years of age respectively. Ansel
worked at odd jobs as a laborer.

both died in a house fire in Union SC on February 8, 1964! Tragic!

Loving Mother and a Forgiving Father" words. They are buried
together in Rosemont Cemetery in Union, SC.
1940 Census shows that Ben (34/born in SC) and Jessie L. (32/born in SC)
are living on Cedar Street in Buffalo, SC with their children:
Walter P (11), Ross G. (8) and Samuel R. (4). They lived in the
same house at 76 Cedar Street that they did in 1935. Ben is a carder and Jessie a
spinner at the local cotton mill. They rent this home for
$280/month. Ben's formal education ended in 7th grade.
