Hugh Fullerton came to Hampton about 1853 and eventually married Elizabeth Johnson. On August 12. 1854, he purchased from Luke Cheeney the land in sec. 18 where he built his dwelling. He had one of the four potteries located here, the others being Edward and Hiram Rhodes, Benjamin Haverling and Mr. Humberstone. The made crocks, jars, churns, jugs, flower pots, etc. All of them quit the business except Mr. Fullerton, who continued. His sons, Henry and Charles, together with Isaac Keller and Wm. R. Carey, who married Mr. Fullerton's daughters, were his main potters.

Mr. Fullerton later made drain tile, paving slabs and brick. The brick in the present school house was made at his works. Mr. Fullerton delighted in taking part in debates at the lyceums during the 60's. This family consisted of five children, all now deceased except Charles. Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton have long since died. His pottery stood where Charles Scrieber's residence now stands, and his two-story residence stood on the river bank across the road.

The Hiram Rhodes two-story brick pottery stood on lot 3, blk. 1, in E.F. Arcularius' addition in Hampton, The Benjamin Haverling pottery stood on lots 9 and 10 in blk. 12, all razed many years ago.
