there is another Aaron Fuller, b. 1739 in Ashfield CT, son of Moses Fuller, from the Robert Fuller line. He seems to be the one who married Sarah Blodgett. That other Aaron Fuller died 1785 in Lenox MA, with a grave there and a cenotaph in Ashfield CT, with much of his family. That widow remarried a Miguells. See Fuller 9873. This is confusing, but the Ashfield people clearly are not from the Edward Fuller line.

Does anyone know whether Aaron Fuller Sr or Aaron Fuller Jr served as: (1) quartermaster for the Charlotte County militia; (2) justice of the peace in Skenesborough (3) one of the commissioners in charge of selling Philip's Skenes' land at the end of the war.
