HI everyone I'm doing research into the above who was born c1770 in Washington Co. PA. He died in 1828/9 and I have his will here which mentions his wife Magdalene/y and one son William FULLUM. I cannot find on the 1830/1840 Census any mention of Magda or son William anywhere.
On the 1850 Census in Kiskimintas in Armstrong Co. there is a William FULLER with wife Christina and a JOHN, SARAH and Magdalene/a FULLER living next door.
I have a probate record of Magdalena FULLEM who died in 1853 where she mentions all of her son's. She was then living in Indiana County, she is buried in the Frye Cemetery, Nashville IN.
On her headstone it reads MAGDALENE FULLER wife of NELSON died May 1853, her will was made in Feb 1853 and probated in June of that year. Her son William and his wife Christina are also buried there.
We are now trying to match records that have this Magadalina FULLER (aka FULLEM/FULLUM) as being the wife of Nelson FULLUM who lived all his life in Washington Co. PA, was a farmer and appears on the 1820 Census as head of household there. We think that the family are African-American. We think that this couple just MAY be our HENRY FULLER'S parents. Perhaps the name has gone between Fullum/Fullem and Fuller.
Any suggestions how to join the dot's would be very much appreciated. Kindest regards Dianna from Australia
