George married Margaret Robertson on 6 Dec 1834 in Grahamstown Church (St George's - Anglican), Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Margaret was born in 1815 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; died on 11 Mar 1856; was buried in Queenstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her death notice says she died at Wellington farm in the district of Queenstown. It was signed by "S. Bertram, born Fuller, daughter of deceased" at Queenstown on June 11, 1894 -- or 38 years after the death. It's possible a legal requirement arose to certify the mother's death before the father's will could be executed, his death having taken place that same year.

Henry's name appears seven times in The Lower Albany Chronicle by E. Morse Jones published by the Lower Albany Historical Society, Port Alfred, 1968.
1. July 24 1820, "The party led by John Dixon was being directed by Henry Fuller."
2. July 26 1827, "Henry Fuller, George Marsden, William Shepherd and William Hiles gave evidence at Grahamstown on the forcible removal of James Erith to his final location in 1820."
3. March 31 1834, "Henry Fuller offered Newton in exchange for land on the lower Blinkwater held by Xogomesh, known as Hermanus Matroos."
4. December 20 1834, "Henry Fuller had moved to his farm on the Blinkwater, Fuller's Hoek."
5. March 9 1841, "Mary, daughter of Thomas Lanham, was married at Grahamstown by the Reverend John Heavyside to Charles, son of Henry Fuller. Elizabeth Lanham was witness."
6. December 7 1843, "Henry Fuller expected to reap 700 bushels of wheat at Newton."
7. February 28 1847, "James Usher junior and J. Featherstone, Grahamstown Yeomanry, carrying mails from Grahamstown to Manley's Flat, were fired on by a Hottentot about five miles out of Grahamstown. James Usher was wounded and the attacker made off with the pack-horse and mails. The two men reached Henry Fuller's house."

Birth: MOOC 6/9/133 Ref. 6547. FHL film 1281543. (A note of explanation on the birth date for Henry that appears on this website: This has been calculated from information on his death notice, which states that he was 79 years and 14 days old when he died on Oct. 2, 1870. Although it may appear that the death notice says 77 years (and not 79) and 14 days, this would place his birth two years after his documented baptism. So the assumption, in the absence of better information, must be that the top loop of the "9" is missing, making it look like a "7.")
