MECLENBURG COUNTY, NC - COURT - Rebecca Fuller v. The Real Estate of
Isham Fuller, deceased
----------------------------
************************************************************************
Contributor's note: Isham Fuller (died 1846) and his mother, Sarah Fuller
(died 1845, widow of Alsey Fuller) died intestate and had estate files in both
Mecklenburg County, NC, and in York County, SC. They are buried, along with
Alsey Fuller, in the Flint Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, Fort Mill, SC.
Transcriptions of some documents from their Mecklenburg County Estate files
follow.
I expect to also place transcriptions of the York County intestate estate
files of Alsey Fuller, Sarah Fuller and Isham Fuller in the York County SC
USGenWeb Archives. North Carolina State Archives citation for these estate
files is CR 065.508, Box 90. Transcriptions within quotation marks.
