(A29l) FULLER - See Records of Robert Fuller and Some Descendants, by
Clarence F. Fuller (1969) (in NEHGS library), for this lineage: Samuel4 FULLER
(Samuel3-2, Robert1). Ch. include: Nathaniel5, b. 15 March 1748; d. 9 Jan. 1786;
m. Hepzebetb. Ch.: Nathaniel, b. 4 Feb. 1784 (last entry). See also Fullers,
Sessons and Scotts, by Carol Clark Johnson; Rehoboth VR., and The Boston
Transcript. NEHGS has in its files notes on some lines of descent from Robert
FULLER, prepared by William H. Fuller, presumably for his fifth FULLER
genealogy. Robert1 FULLER was of Salem and Rehoboth. He had a son Nathaniel and
the name appears among many of his descendants in the earlier generations.
Since the death record is not given for Nathaniel6 above, b. in Rehoboth, it
seems possible that he removed to New York state.

176 shows the marriage to which you refer. It also shows that the intention
showed him to be “of Middlefield, N.Y.” Middlefield, N.Y. is in Otsego Co. The
1800 census there shows a Francis and a James BLACK who are the right ages of
his 2 brothers, but no Rufus. There are no BLACK family deaths in Chester,
Mass.

(A375) I suggest you might look for Rufus BLACK in Blandford, Mass., adjacent
to Chester on the south and the oldest town in that area. There were BLACKs in
Blandford prior to 1800. Blandford V.R.s have not been published, to my
knowledge, and Blandford is not listed in the index to the Corbin collection,
However, Sumner Gilbert Wood’s Ulster Scots and Blandhord Scouts has an Appendix
II of 20 pages of V. R. from Hopkinton, Blandford’s parent town and of Blandford
families, throughs 1775.

where Asa HUTCHINSON m. Eunice DAVIS, but it would appeat that both at the time
were residents of Amherst. Secomb says (p. 645) that the family moved to
Fayette 1799. Yet Asa bought mote land from his father Solomon in 1786, 1789,
