my race is run
My work in Christ
is now begun.
James Fuller first applied for a pension May 23, 1825, living then in Otisco, on which Vesper borders. When he renewed his application, March 1, 1831, he lived in Tully. His two statements differ. In the first he said he enlisted in '81, at Barrington, Mass., under Capt. John Nash, joining the 6th Mass. regiment for three years. He served till Jan., 1784, when he was discharged at West Point, under Gen. Knox, having been in New York and New Jersey. In the second statement he enlisted at Great Barrington in '80, for three years, in Capt. Frost's Co., Col. Smith's regiment, Mass. Line, and was discharged in Jan., '83. In 1825 he thought himself worth $95.81, and was 63 years old. He lived with his son, and had two daughters living with him: Mary, aged 18, and Hannah, aged 20. Nothing was said of his wife, whom he may have married later. That year he sold his farm on lot 6, for $500, to support himself. In 1831, being then 67, as he said, he was worth but $43.42 1/2 in all. He had a wife then, and since 1825 had been supported by his sons.
