Biography

William Fuller was born about 1673 to parents Capt. William Fuller and his wife Sarah. The place of his birth is not known. He immigrated with his parents to the Province of Carolina in 1678. William was underage when his father died in 1683, but at age 22 in 1695 he made a claim for property his father had owned in Maryland.[1]

From his father, he inherited a plantation on the Ashley River called Fullers.[2][3]

He and his wife Elizabeth had children:[2] Sarah, Richard, William (1702-1741), Joseph, Zacheus, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Elizabeth (d. 1721)[4], and Ann (d. 1730).[5]

William Fuller of St. Andrews Parish wrote his Will on 13 August 1731, naming his wife Elizabeth, daughter Sarah, sons Richard, William, Joseph, Zacheus, Benjamin, and Nathaniel, and kinsman William Cattells.[6]

William Fuller Sr. was buried 14 November 1731 in St. Andrews Parish, Province of South Carolina. [5]

His widow Elizabeth Fuller wrote her Will on 12 July 1756, and it was proved 20 January 1758. She appears to have outlived all her sons and leaves bequests to her granddaughter Elizabeth Simpson, second daughter of her daughter Sarah Simpson, widow, and to her grandson Thomas Fuller.[7]

This William Fuller would be the one and only son of Capt. William Fuller. He was not born in IOW, VA but rather MD or VA. The Fuller estate at the time was in Ann Arundel Co., MD prior to relocation to the Charleston area, SC.
