DANIELS, EGGLESTON posted by L.J. Daniels on Saturday, July 29, 2006
Researching Rebecca Eggleston, born abt 1826, possibly in Geauga County. Unknown who her parents were. She was the wife of my great grandfather, Abner Daniels, and is found in the 1850 census in Auglaize County, Noble Township, Ohio. It is believed that she married Abner abt 1847 as she was too young to have mothered the older children in the family. Abner had a first wife, possibly Elizabeth Boyles, as there is a marriage record in Gallia County in 1830. Any information on Rebecca would be much appreciated. This is the only spelling of Eggleston I have known, but am aware that there are other spellings. Thank you.

As I live in FL, I do not have access to OH death records. I am searching for a death record for a Sadie (Sarah Denn) BOBERG.

LUCE posted by Tacy on Thursday, August 2, 2007
I am looking for someone to check the county archives for a guardianship record, sometime prior to 1875, when George E. Luce was named the guardian of Frank Luce b ca 1859 Geauga co. In the 1880 census, Frank is listed as a brother of Tyler Luce (aka Henry Tyler Luce), and I have Tyler's death certificate listing Henry Luce as his father. I then sent to the county archives for a copy of Henry's estate (he d 1872 Troy twp). The 95 pages of this estate show that in fact, Frank was NOT a son of Henry and that Frank's guardian was another of Henry's sons, George E Luce. There are several different places in the estate which list Henry's children, and NONE of these list Frank--but all list George and Tyler. Frank did inherit $200 from Henry's estate, so he must have been related somehow. I wrote back to the county archives over a year ago, but still have not received a reply and so am hoping someone on the list may be headed in the direction of the archives and will check on this guardianship record. Thanks, Tacy in Colorado

FULLER posted by Diane Smith on Wednesday, August 29, 2007
I have been able to establish Dr. Daniel Fuller married to Abigail Miller Fuller descended from Edward Fuller thanks to correspondent Robert F. Fuller, Connecticut, Historian Leonard Alderman, Burlington, CT, Librarian Anne Mazeau, Burlington Library and many many others. They lived on Charlotte Creek in New York. This area was known as Oneonta, Otsego County, after the borders changed, Davenport/Kortright, New York. Both were born in Connecticut. All of their children have not been identified to date. Hiram Fuller, Abigail Fuller and Daniel Fuller have been. The Mayflower Society has recognized them. I will try and respond to this site via the moderator. I am uncomfortable providing my email address, unless I have corresponded with you in the past. Generation 7; Work in progress i. Daniel 7 Fuller Farmington, CT Daniel 7 Fuller (John 6, John 5, Samuel 4, John 3, Samuel 2, Edward 1) was baptized in West Avon, Hartford County, Connecticut, 26 January 1766 per Avon Church Record 1/13, 81. It was recorded he was "baptized Daniel to Jn. Fuller and his wife." Father John 6 Fuller recorded son Daniel 7 Fuller and his grandson's Chauncey and Aseph Fuller of Rome, in his last will and testament and filed it in Farmington Probate District Court, Hartford County, CT. (TAG 15:42) Genealogist Brainard erroneously identified Daniel 7 Fuller's brother; David 7 as the baptized son of John and Hannah Tooley (Peniniah) Fuller, 26 January 1766. Anne Mazeau, genealogist, Burlington Library, Burlington, Connecticut along with Mr. Robert 11 F. Fuller of Greenwich, Connecticut personally read the will of John 6 Fuller at the Hartford Library in Hartford, Connecticut and realized the person identified as "David" in TAG 15:42 was actually Daniel 7 Fuller. Historian Leonard Alderman's family correspondence from 1974 also supports this evaluation regarding the TAG 15:42. ----------- Supporting documentation for section i. Daniel Fuller, Farmington, Connecticut B/R: Avon CR 1/13, 81, "baptized Daniel to Jn. Fuller and his wife." P/R: Will filed in Farmington probate district court: Farmington, Hartford Co, CT; John Fuller, 1814: "I give and bequeath unto my second son, Jesse Fuller, the whole of my remaining land and property lying inside Burlington together with the building, standing thereon, he paying to my third son Daniel Fuller therein of thirty dollars at the time of one year after my decease. .given to my two grandsons Asaph and Chauncey Fuller." TAG 15:42, The American Genealogist; Copyright 1938-39, Donald Lines Jacobus, Box 3032, Westville Station, New Haven, Connecticut, The Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor Company, New Haven, Conn., 15:42, "The will of John Fuller, Senior, of Burlington, dated Oct. 1, 1807, probated June 30, 1814, is on file at the State Library, Hartford. It contains bequests to wife Hannah, to four sons, John, Jesse, David and Josiah, named in order of age; also to grandsons Asaph and Chauncey Fuller. Children: i. David, 7 bapt. July 31, 1757,Kensington, probably died young. ii. John 7, iii. Jesse 7 iv. David 7 v. Josiah 7"" Robert F. Fuller
