MECLENBURG COUNTY, NC - WILLS AND ESTATES - Estate of Sarah Fuller --------------¤¤¤¤¤¤-------------- Contributor's note: Isham Fuller (died 1846) and his mother, Sarah Fuller (died 1845, widow of Alsey Fuller) died intestate and had estate files in both Mecklenburg County, NC, and in York County, SC. They are buried, along with Alsey Fuller, in the Flint Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, Fort Mill, SC. A transcription of the single document found in the North Carolina State Archive, Mecklenburg County Records, Estate file of Sarah Fuller, follow. Isham Fuller was the original administrator of Sarah Fuller named in her York County SC estate, and his death February 14, 1846 delayed until 1848 the final settlement of her estate in both counties by successor administrator James Thorn. I expect to also place transcriptions of the York County intestate estate files of Alsey Fuller, Sarah Fuller and Isham Fuller in the York County SC USGenWeb Archives. North Carolina State Archives citation for these estate files is CR 065.508, Box 90. I attempted to preserve the spelling and misspelling of the Original documents. Transcription is below within quotation marks. ************************************************************************ "James Thorn Administrator of Sarah Fuller Bond April Term, 1848 State of North Carolina, Mecklenburg County Know all Men by these presents that we, James Thorn and John H.
