Notes:

Birth:
Baptized July 1799, Second Church, Newton

Probate:
Sumner, sister Mindda and brother Jeremiah were named in a document filed at the Probate Court after their father's death for the purpose of naming Henry Craft as guardian of these three children who were not considered to be an 'adult' but were over the age of fourteen and were due consideration even though their father did not leave a Will. A similar document was filed for the three children under the age of fourteen.

Confirmation:
in the Second Church of Newton

Education:
His school record at the Phillips Academy in Andover indicates that he was admitted on 9 Dec 1817 and left in August 1818. His subjects would have been Latin, Bible or Religion, Philosophy, possibly German or French, English and one or more of the classics. Boys on scholarship might have had the opportunity to learn candle making, carpentry, housekeeping or farming.

Religion:
In the spring of 1819 Sumner Fuller along with his brother Joel and four other young people taught Sunday school to thirty children in the first Sabbath School at the Second Church of Newton.

Census:
The 1820 census shows the Josiah Greenleaf family in South Parish, Andover as well as Mrs. Phebe Abbot, where Sumner Fuller boarded in 1817-18, so we assume this is the time and place that Sumner met his future wife, Mary H. Greenleaf.

Residence:
The 1821 Boston Tax List shows him residing in Ward 12, on Washington St. and the city directories show that after they were married he was listed as: 1822 a tallow chandler; 1823/25/26 as truckman in rear 740 Washington street. The 1828/29/30 city directories show him as a laborer and soap boiler living at the rear of 4th street, South Boston where his soap works was located. These entries show us that he was a Chandler or candle and soap maker, which was an honourable profession at this time.

Milit-Beg:
was recruited to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, also known as the Military Company of the Massachusetts. His rank was ensign in the Third Regiment, Third Brigade, First Division, M.V.M., 1822-3, and lieutenant from 1824 to 1827 inclusive. He was honorably discharged from the Artillery Company on Sept. 4 1826.

Religion:
dismissed from the Old South Church in Boston to the Phillips Street Church in South Boston.

Religion:
the 'Evangelical Congregational Church of South Boston' (also known as the Phillips St. Church) was formed and Sumner Fuller is listed as one of the 13 founding Members. A publication dated 1832, indicates that Mary H. Fuller became a member on 8 Feb. 1824 and that both she and Sumner had been dismissed to another church, likely Andover where they later moved.

Residence:
Sumner Fuller is listed as member (volunteer) of the 1827 Engine Company No. 12, of the Boston Fire Department which was located at the Franklin School House, Washington Street.

Religion:
He is also listed as being the treasurer of the South Boston branch of the American Tract Society in their 27 May 1929 publication. This organization was founded in New York in 1825 for the publication of religious material, and still exists today.

Residence:
Sumner's name appeared as a contact in a newspaper ad in the Boston Courier, when his father-inlaw, Josiah Greenleaf, sold his house in Andover. Shortly after this Sumner moved his business to Andover as we know that son Edwin was born in Andover, Sept 1830.

Illness:
A biography of Sumner's son, William Greenleaf Fuller who was a famous American in his own right, in the 1882 'History of Gallia County' by James Averill, made the following statement, "His father Sumner Fuller was a prominent man, a graduate of Yale college, a soap and tallow chandler in Boston and Andover Massachusetts. In 1834 he met with an almost fatal accident: removed to Charleston, South Carolina, for his health, but died there in 1838. His death left his widow with the care of seven children and a small patrimony. These children are all alive, as a monument to their mother's faithfulness. She too is still living."

Religion:
"Sumner Fuller: Feb 28, 1834 Received at the South Church of Andover from the West Church of Andover. Sept 11, 1836 Removed from the South Church in Andover to the 3rd Presbyterian Church of Charleston SC. Mary H (Greenleaf) Fuller: Feb 28, 1834 Received at the South Church of Andover from the West Church of Andover. July 30, 1837 Removed from the South Church in Andover to the 3rd Presbyterian Church of Charleston SC."

Residence:
He is listed in a Charleston City Directory as living in North St Phillips Street showing the profession of Chandler. There is also a Benjamin Fuller listed at the same address; perhaps a relative. A search of the archives in Charleston has not found his death record. A note from the city archives indicated that North Phillips Street was not included in the Charleston County in 1839 and therefore not included in the Historical Records of that county.

Died:
Sumner's daughter who married Simeon Richards is included her parents in the Richards family bible, which shows that her father, Sumner Fuller, died 3 June 1839 in Charleston at the age of 40. A search through the Charleston, South Carolina archives did not produce a death certificate, Will, or burial place.

Sumner married Mary H. Greenleaf on 30 Apr 1822 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, USA. Mary (daughter of Josiah Greenleaf and Mary Harvey) was born on 22 Jul 1799 in Newburyport, Essex, Massachusetts, USA; died on 12 Mar 1885 in Chesterville, Franklin, Maine, USA; was buried on 20 Mar 1885 in Norcross Cemetery, Chesterville, Franklin, Maine, USA.
