"Honorable Robert T. Fuller was born in Caswell County, North Carolina, November 15, 1821; came to Dallas County, Arkansas in 1848. February 4, 1852, he was married to Miss Agnes B. Smith, and they were both converted and joined the Methodist Church the same year. Truly they were blessed in each other, and in their children. Brother Fuller, though a public man, and accustomed in the prosecution of his profession-the law-to the exciting influences and associations of the bar and the bench, was a great lover of home, where his beloved Agnes presided in queenly loveliness and Christian virtue, until December 21, 1898, when she was called to her home above, where he in great sorrow to follow on till March 2, 1904, when after months of sore affliction, both of body and mind, the Lord, whom he had served for more than a half century, bade him rejoin his beloved companion in that blessed life of immortal youth. Brother Fuller was not forward in church matters, and perhaps shrank sometimes from services he was so competent to perform, still he was not idle as a church member, stood for what the church stood, sound and settled in his faith, consistent in his life, and thus has handed down to his children and coming generations the memory of a good man. The writer who was his pastor for several years, assisted by his pastor, Rev. J.J. Mellard, conducted, in the presence of a large concourse of his friends and neighbors, both white and colored, the funeral services, committing his mortal remains to repose in the silence of the tomb beside his beloved Agnes. That the children all may follow them as they followed Christ, sincerely prays their former pastor, J.E. Caldwell, Tulip, Arkansas."

Fuller, Robert Thomas (born about 1824), attorney, circuit judge and planter, was born at Leasburg, Caswell County. He was graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1844 and studied law. Beginning about 1850, he was a practicing attorney in Arkansas for more than forty years. Fuller settled at Princeton, Arkansas, in Dallas County and never relocated. His interests included Whig politics and his 2,300 acre plantation with twenty-three slaves. When Arkansas's first Secession Convention met on 4 March 1861, the day of Abraham Lincoln's Inauguration, Fuller was among the delegates who opposed secession. On 6 May 1861, however, after Fort Sumter, he joined those in the Second Convention who voted for secession and thereafter gave his firm support to the Confederacy.
After the war, he served as a state circuit court judge.
Fuller married Agness B. Smith, the daughter of Dr. W. F. Smith, a physician. They had six children: J. W., Robert C., Alex J., Samuel G., Agnes and Thomas F.
