Elijah "Bunt" Fuller
was born 20 July 1845 and died 31 December 1931 in Perry Co., KY. He
was the son of
Elijah Green Fuller 1790 NC and possibly Elizabeth Messer?
Thanks to John D Amburgey for providing
this picture of our Great Grandfather, Elijah Bunt Fuller
Great Grandpa Elijah "Bunt" Fuller married (1st) Susannah Susan
Combs born 1844. Susannah Susan Combs was the daughter of
John Lorenzo
Combs and Polly Ann Combs. Elijah Bunt Fuller and Susannah Susan
Combs had no children to my knowledge.
Elijah Bunt Fuller and 2nd Martha Combs had our Grandfather,
Elijah Green Fuller.
Our Great Grandfather, Elijah Bunt Fuller raised our Grandfather,
Elijah Green Fuller. Martha Combs was born in 1858. We do not know
who Martha's parents are, yet.
Great Grandpa Elijah "Bunt" Fuller married 3rd to Elizabeth
Amburgey. Elijah Bunt Fuller and Elizabeth Amburgey are found
in the 1900 Knott County, KY census.
Elijah "Bunt" Fuller 1845, was in the Civil War and served in the
13th KY Cav Co C
and 13th KY Cav Co
B. According to our Mom,
Ida Fuller Potter, he also served on the Union side and
additionally, he was a substitute for another person in the Civil
War perhaps on the Union side.
Mom also states that Grandpa Bunt Fuller
was captured and made a bold, successful escape, running over four
or five guards to escape. Other statements of importance; Mother
reported that one of her Grandfather's was on the Union side and the
other was on the Confederate side.
Our Mother made the following statement
that is significant; "Grandpa Bunt went in the service as a Democrat
and came out a Republican." I have to research this statement to
understand the full meaning. One must understand the times to know
the full significance of her statement. So far, I do not know what
it means. I can only speculate.
We believe Martha Combs may possibly have
been living in North Carolina at the time of our Grandfather
Fuller's birth. Child of Elijah "Bunt" Fuller and 2nd Martha Combs;
