The Fuller Family

Hattie Louise Fuller Henderson, my fraternal grandmother was born on March 27, 1899 in Cherokee County, Alabama, to parents James Alfred and Louisa O'Della Norris Fuller. O'Della had married John Parkinson in 1893, but John died (some have speculated he died by falling in a well). Then in 1895, O'Della married James Alfred Fuller.  O'Della had a son John Parkinson and he was adopted by James Fuller.

James Fuller was the son of John and Martha Allan/Allen Fuller.

I have created a section on the Norris family with information from the Norris bible concerning Della and her siblings.  I also have information from the census records dating to 1840 in Georgia. These were taken from Ancestry. COM. Click here to see the latest information on the Norris family.

The 12th Census of the United States taken in 1900 shows the Fullers living  in Cherokee County, Alabama in the Cedar Springs District Number 131. The census had John Parkinson with the Parkinson struck out, Robert F, Fuller, and Hattie L. Fuller, female and one year old.  Interesting as most people know who have done genealogical research, Hattie is named Mattie.  As I will show in the 1910, 1920, and 1930 census she again was named Hattie.
