FULLAM.
| FRANCIS] FULHAM, b. 1669 at Fulham, a suburb of London, Eng- land. He was a younger s., and after the death of his father, at the age of fourteen was sent to New England with £100 to be educated at Harvard College. The person having charge of the money kept it, and sold the boy into service to pay for his passage, in accordance with a custom of the times. He m. Feb. 22, 1689-90, Sarah, b. Feb. 18, 1671- 72 ; d. Mar. 10. 1723-24, dau. of Lieut. John Livermore, of Weston, Mass .: res. in Watertown and in Weston, where he d. Jan. 15, 1757. They had ch. I. Jacob, b. Nov. 19, 1693, 2; n. Sarah : III. Hannah ; IV. Mary. The later generations in this country generally spell the name Fullam.
2 JACOB2 FULLAM, b. Nov. 19, 1693 ; d. May 8, 1725 : m. Feb. 28, 1715-16, Tabitha Whitney, b. Ang. 22, 1696. He saw much service in the Indian wars. In 1725 he was Sergeant in Capt. John Lovewell's company, and was killed May 8, at Fryeburg, Me., in the encounter with the Indians known as Lovewell's fight. Rev. Henry White, in his " Early History of New England," gives an account of this fight, and says . Mr. Jacob Fullam, who was an officer and an only son, distin- guished himself with much bravery. One of the first that was killed was by his right hand, and when ready to encounter a second shot, it is said that he and his adversary fell at the very instant by each other's shot." An old song, describing this fight, had the following :
" Young Fullam, too, I'll mention, Because he fought so well ; Trying to save another man A sacrifice he fell."
Ch. I. Francis, b. Mar. 20, 1716-17, 3; II. Jacob; III. Tabitha ; IV. Elisha.
