William Whaley FULLER (1828-1915) with wife Jennie Adelia THOMPSON (1838-1924) and daughters Myrtle Jennie FULLER (standing, 1975-1962) and Marietta FULLER (1869-1944). William Whaley Fuller moved to Rolla, Missouri, from Ontario County, New York, about 1865. Other children not in photo were William Thompson, Franklin Alexander, Sarah Jane and Cora Estelle FULLER.
Would be interested if this Fuller has any connections with a Robert Fuller 1863-1933 m. Adelia maiden name unknown. I see some familier names like Jennie Adelia any connection?
Re: Myrtle Jennie Fuller...believe date under photo is a misprint..should be 1878-1962 ?? In previous noite should have mentioned my Fullers came from Nova Scotia

We have no record as to the source of the middle name "Whaley." We do know that William Whaley FULLER was the son of Jacob FULLER (born 1792 probably in Royalston, Massachusetts). Jacob's wife was Elizabeth (last name unknown--maybe Whaley?). Believe Jacob's siblings to have been Charles W. (maybe Whaley again?) and John Spencer FULLER.

Rose (Also from southern Illinois.)Daughter Marie married Clarence Mc"Donald)
Mc"Donald, Clarence married a nearly full blooded Cherrokee Indian, first name Mary,last name may be Waylee or some spelling near that. All of these people lived in southern Ilinois to the best of my knowledge. Benton is the town, Franklyn is the county, they all lived in or near for fifty years or more. I am most interested in finding out information about my Indian, great great grandmother, as well as when Clarence Mc"Donald's family came over to the USA, also is he Irish, or Scottish,or both?
