Notes for Elijah Fuller
I am not certain this is the correct father.
Elijah Fuller lived in Coventry for about 50 years. He married Mary Millington 8 Dec 1747 in Coventry, Connecticut. All of his children were born there. On March 15, 1774, he sold 48 acres of land lying on the Willimantic River to Timoth Dimock of Coventry. (Windham County Conn. Deeds). A deed in the Town Clerk's office in South Shaftsbury, Vermont, dated May 16, 1774, shows that Elijah Fuller purchased 100 acres of land in Shaftsbury Township, Bennington County, Vermont. Soon after this, the family moved to Vermont where other tracts of land were bought. A number of Elija Fuller's married children went with them to Vermont. The Millington Family and others came as well.
David Millington, a nephew of Mary Millington Fuller, was the first inventor of wax grafting. The only previous method was the application of mud, swingling-tow and rags. For many years after he perfected the system, the months of April and May witnessed an exodus of Shaftsbury grafters, 40-50 teams and 80-100 men annually thoughout New England and some of the western states.
Elijah Fuller rendered service during the Revolutionary War in 1776. His name appears on two payrolls of Captain Gideon Brownson's Compony, Green Mountain Boys. (Vermont Rolls of Soldiers of Revolutionary War) pp. 635, 832). The Bennington Chapter D.A.R. has marked the grave of Elijah as a Revolutionary soldier.
Elijah and Mary Fuller are buried in West Shaftsbury in a private burial ground in a mowing on the hillside a few rods south of Mr. Ed. Bouplon's house. BY moa1968, ancestry.
